When You Wish Upon a Star (Wars)

One of my favorite Web sites, http://www.rebelscum.com/, is conducting its annual "Wish List" polls, in which fans can submit the names of Star Wars characters they'd like Hasbro to make into action figures. I compiled and posted my wish lists over the weekend, and I couldn't have done it without the following super-terrific reference volumes:

• "Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary" compiled by David West Reynolds, James Luceno and Ryder Windham, from DK Publishing


• "Star Wars: The Clone Wars — The Visual Guide" by Jason Fry, from DK Publishing


• "The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia" by Stephen J. Sansweet & Pablo Hidalgo and Bob Vitas & Daniel Wallace, from Del Ray


• "Star Wars Chronicles" by Deborah Fine and Aeon, Inc., from Chronicle Books


• "Star Wars Chronicles: The Prequels" by Stephen J. Sansweet and Pablo Hidalgo, from Chronicle Books

If you're more than just a "casual" Star Wars fan, but don't own any/all of these outstanding books, then get thee hastily to http://www.amazon.com/ or http://www.ebay.com/ and get back on the Max Rebo bandwagon!

BTW, here are my wish lists. I'm sure you'll understand quickly why I needed those reference volumes. Do you know who some of these characters are?
