Welcome to the Seventh Edition of the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia!

Thanks to all of you who have been coming here over the last few months. My hits per month have continued to grow, to the point where I'm over 3,000 a month! In order to eliminate the monthly shut-down of my MindSpring account, I have accepted an offer from the guys here at MosEisley.Com. Chances are good that you got re-directed here from the old Mindspring URL. Please update your bookmarks accordingly, and thanks for your continued patronage of my Encyclopedia!

I have tweaked the interface to remove one frame, but all the various parts of the Encyclopedia are still around. I have also added a new logo (above) for those of you who wish to link to this website with an image. Just put the following HTML on your website:

<a href="http://www.moseisley.com/swenc/swenc.htm"> <img src="http://www.moseisley.com/swenc/swenc_logo.jpg" alt="The Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia"></a>

I've had some folks volunteer to help make some of my wish-list items happen, but no progress to date. The big change is the addition of blue text in the various versions of the full encyclopedia, which denotes new information added since the Sixth Edition. Also, note that I have removed the WordPerfect version of the full encyclopedia in favor of an HTML version that can be viewed on any browser without Internet connectivity. Just fire up your browser and point to the main file!

Among the other changes I'd like to implement are:

  1. Group entries by category (aliens, characters, droids, ships, etc.)
  2. Put in a search engine, or an index
  3. Add pictures and images for entries
  4. Let someone host the Encyclopedia
I'm looking into all of these, but it might mean that I take a hiatus from new information and revamp the entire Encyclopedia. Please E-mail me if you have any other ideas, or if you have trouble with this new version.


E-mail me if you can't get the encyclopedia to download. Please make sure you send me your e-mail address and what version you tried requesting!
