Il volume Legends per eccellenza dedicato a mezzi terrestri, aerei e spaziali della galassia lontana lontana. Decine di mezzi, nozioni e disegni (in un 3D non sempre eccezzionale) che non potranno lasciare indifferente alcun appassionato in materia.

... aber Star Wars muss man schon mögen.
Vor ein paar Jahren in England hab ich mir, da ich schon gerade das PC Spiel "Tie Fighter" gespielt habe, das Star Wars Buch "The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels" gekauft, weil ich die Zeichnungen der Schiffe gut fand, auch wenn sie schwarz-weiß waren. Als ich vor kurzem die Neuauflage, welche sämtliche Neuerungen des Star Wars Universums (u.a. Episode ! und II) berücksichtigt, gesehen habe, musste ich sie mir kaufen.
"The New Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels" ist ein Buch aus der Reihe "new essential", die das Star Wars Universum nach Kategorien ordnen und das Wichtigste festhalten.
Wie alle Bücher ist das Werk komplett in Farbe und auf Hochglanzpapier als Softcover erhältlich, qualitativ recht hochwertig. Schöne und stilvolle Illustrationen, natürlich in Farbe, verschönern das Buch innen und außen.
Zum Inhalt:
Es werden viele Schiffe und Fahrzeuge aus dem Star Wars Universum betrachtet, angefangen beim kleinen Landspeeder bis zum Supersternzerstörer oder Weltenschiff der Yuuzhan Vong.
Zu jedem Schiff gibt es Informationen wie Größe, Geschwindigkeit, Hersteller, Bewaffnung und Besonderheiten, Blaupausen von vorn und der Seite, sowie eine wirklich tolle Zeichnung über eine ganze Seite, natürlich alles in Farbe. Zu jedem Schiff gibt es noch eine Geschichte über dessen Einsatz, besondere Ereignisse oder auch dessen Pilot, etwas Hintergrundwissen muss ja sein.
Größenvergleiche anhand von Schattenzeichnungen zu jeder Kategorie runden das gelungene Sammlerwerk ab.
Absolut empfehlenswert für jeden, der die Schiffe aus Star Wars toll findet, gerne Werte vergleicht, oder einfach nur mal sehen möchte, ob sich die eigene Vorstellung des Yuuzhan Vong Korallenskippers mit dem deckt, was die tollen Zeichnungen hergeben.
Das Buch ist zwar in englisch, die Sätze sind aber kurz und leicht verständlich, auf den Text kommt es sowieso nicht an ;)
