DK Publishing is preparing The Complete Locations of Star Wars for an October release.  The oversize (10. 5' x 13.75') 176-page full color hardcover ($39.99) uses illustrations and text to reveal the planets from every movie in the Star Wars saga, including Episode III.  The specialty of this volume is the 'cutaway' cross-section, which reveals the intricacies of every fortress, mining colony, and homestead of importance in the entire saga.  Combined with vivid stills and 3-D maps, the result is an unparalleled look at the many extra terrestrial worlds created for the Star Wars films.

 

Also out in October from DK Publishing is Star Wars: The Ultimate Guide,  a 144-page full color hardcover ($24.99), which provides fans with a complete overview of the Star Wars saga, including an explanation of all the major characters and how they relate to each other, plus complete details about the various movies' storylines and coverage of the Star Wars merchandise, models, and poster art. 

 

Obviously both of these volumes will be prime holiday gift items for Star Wars fans.
