This is an incredibly comprehensive and detailed book of the video-game. As a fan of the the MMORPG (and Star Wars overall), I wish that I would've purchased this book much sooner than I had. It's very impressive how much detail and information the authors placed within this volume. The only con (at this point) is that the material only covers the core of what was available when the game launched in 2011.
As of this writing the material contained within is several years old, but it doesn't detract from it's worth. The value for what's contained within the pages explains and displays a great deal about the game, the factions, planets, characters, companions, the story (at launch of the game), and in explaining about Star Wars history up to 25,000 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin). For all intents and purposes the encyclopedia pretty much covers the timeline of 3,600 BBY - which leaves it far removed from the current movie storyline for it's own take on events in the Star Wars universe.
I don't know how much this encyclopedia is considered canon to the Star Wars lore and universe, but as a fan of sci-fi fantasy it doesn't matter very much to me. The book is a visual splendor with eye popping panels, and the material contained within placed in an organized manner that is easy to referencing. DK Publishing is known for making excellent books, and this is no exception to that fact. As a fan of Star Wars: The Old Republic, this is a must-have for your library. I hope that there will be an expanded version of this fantastic book, or at least a second volume for covering newer material of the game.
I highly recommend this book . Two lightsabers way up!
