Updating the Encyclopedia

Word comes from the starwars.com boards that there’s a new Star Wars Encyclopedia in the works. The last one came out in 1998 – before even TPM! Sue Rostoni says:

It’s true, there is a new Encyclopedia in the works. A volume that will update ongoing entries. Stuff that hasn’t changed (i.e., “hydrospanner”) won’t be duplicated in this second volume. A pub date hasn’t been set in duracrete yet, but we’re looking at Fall 2008 as a possible release time. The format will be the same as the first volume, to keep it as a “set.” That’s about all that’s been discussed at this point.

Also, the Coruscant Nights trilogy is being pushed back to 2008. Better than a year between each volume for a paperback trilogy, I guess.

  1. Can’t wait to see a new Encyclopedia. Sounds like a nice way to do it by turning it into two volumes. (A little odd for reference searching, but still cool.)

    But would you really want to take that on?

    Better other people than me. Can you imagine the effort it takes to write a friggin’ encyclopedia?!
