The "Star Wars" Vault: Thirty Years of Treasures from the Lucasfilm Archives

Product Information

Skerris was permitted to have red markings, [6] which denoted his skill in combat, [2] on the TIE fighters he flew; [6] a TIE Interceptor during his time at Skystrike Academy [2] and, while stationed on Lothal, the prototype TIE Defender Elite. [15] Behind the scenes [ ] Skerris and Defender Squadron One operated directly under the command of Commodore Karyn Faro (pictured) during Thrawn and Vader's mission to Batuu. But this was too much even for me. It hits a level of detail that often left me lost, and I found it a little tedious even though it's an easy read. I've never lost Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, but that's because the game I have pertains to the original trilogy movies, and has only a few expanded universe book questions thrown in, and the movies is where my base of knowledge lies. This book touches on stuff in the movies, but is mostly related to expanded universe matters which comes from books, video games, and, I believe, some fan fiction.

Through wars and rebellion, only a single copy of this manual has survived. It is now passed on to you. Jedi who added personal commentary: Yoda, Thame Cerulian, Count Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Darth Sidious, and Luke Skywalker. It's been 30 years since those immortal words were first seen on movie screens nationwide and it was the start of a worldwide phenomenon and the beginning of the most successful movie franchise of all time. As the test pilot chosen to fly the TIE Defender, Skerris pushed the prototype to its limits in combat engagements, repeatedly proving the ship's potential in the process. The test flights he undertook provided sufficient data to create a new fighter, the TIE/D Defender Elite, [6] which possessed superior speed, weapons, and shielding to the original. [15] In 1 BBY, [13] Skerris was posted to [15] the Outer Rim planet [16] Lothal, [15] where the TIE Defenders [17] and the new fighter were being produced. [6] Being the leader of Thrawn's TIE Defender initiative, Skerris was entrusted with the testing and development of the new ship. [18] He brought the fighter to a remote airfield on Lothal. After exiting the ship, he was greeted by Thrawn and Pryce, who had arrived to witness a flight demonstration of the prototype performed by Skerris. [15]

Good afternoon, Commander. I'm eager to hear your opinion on the improvements made to the TIE Defender program."

Oh, I'm afraid not, my dear. I haven't been inside myself for years. Only members of the Jedi Council are allowed access." ―Ahsoka Tano asking Jocastu Nu about entering the Holocron Vault [1] Raid, battle, & experience the Star Wars™ galaxy first-hand with the ultimate galactic RPG game, Star Wars™: Galaxy of Heroes! The Star Wars Portfolio is an interactive joyride for millions of fans worldwide who will help celebrate next year's 30th anniversary of the film that started it all. Created with the full cooperation of Lucasfilm, and authored by Steve Sansweet, Star Wars collector and writer and head of Lucasfilm's fan relations. Overall I liked this book very much. Especially the parts about the Jedi code and the Force are great parts to read. I didn't like the parts about attire, and equipment as much, since they were quite dry, just like TBHC. What really adds to this books are the annotations by famous Jedi and even Sith. They added a lot of flavour and a little bit more depth to the book, even though these are no longer considered canon.

After Wren, Antilles, and Klivian escaped the academy in a stolen TIE bomber, Skerris pursued the fugitives in his TIE Interceptor. While flying through Montross' atmosphere, Skerris inflicted damage on the TIE bomber and caused it to lose altitude. However, the Liberator returned and forced Skerris to break off his pursuit. When the bomber attached itself to the corvette and left the atmosphere, Skerris continued tailing the vessel until it escaped into hyperspace with the defectors.

One more thing of note: This is presented as a kind of training manual for Jedi padawans, but it's not realistic in that capacity. There's too much levity in the text itself, and it comes across as conversational in tone. This is not something I would expect from a textbook or any kind of book one would give to a student. This narrows the target audience even further for now you need someone who is passionate about the canon for its knowledge yet willing to not take it too seriously, and just how many super fanboys do you find who are built like that? I'm super serial here; I've seen the most passionate arguments on Star Wars message boards about things I couldn't begin to follow. One I saw just after Revenge of the Sith came out was about Mace Windu's lightsaber style, something called Vaapad which is briefly mentioned in this book, and why he was able to hang with the Emperor while every other Jedi was taken out like they learned their lightsaber skills from a single tee-ball practice. I imagine the participants in this discussion looked something like this: Star Wars Build your own X-wing | 1:18 Model on De Agostini Model Space on www.model-space.com (archived from the original on August 19, 2018) indicates that issues of Star Wars: Build Your Own X-Wing was shipped in sets of 4 every month starting in August of 2018. Thus, it can be deduced that issue 15 was released in November 2018. This, no doubt, will be an incredibly fun book for some Star Wars fans. But, for me it was completely unnecessary. Normally I tend to like books like this if I feel that they belong in their world, however, this was completely unrealistic.
