Some Information on This Encyclopedia
This encyclopedia was created from all Lucasflim-licensed sources of Star Wars information. It was created without regard for what is "canon" what is not "canon" in the Star Wars universe. I did, however, place information from the Marvel Comics series in the Arcana section, since it is wildly outside the standard Star Wars dogma.
However, it is impossible to create a document like this from such a huge body of knowledge without finding some inconsistencies and errors. Lucasfilm has final say on the material I drew from, and it makes no claim that the material is 100 percent compatible with George Lucas' vision of the Star Wars universe. So, if there are errors or inconsistencies, I have tried to note them as appropriate.
Notes on Encyclopedia Entries
All entries are listed alphabetically, with the assumption that numerals come after letters. There are many cross-references to other listings, and they should all refer to a full description somewhere in the encyclopedia.
The names of human characters are listed alphabetically by last name. Being a human from Earth, I used the standard American phonebook listing for all Star Wars humans. Thus, if you want to look up Han Solo, you need to search in the S section under Solo, Han. If a human only goes by a single name (i.e., Roa), then you simply look up that single name.
Non-human names, however, are listed alphabetically by the initial part of their name. This is because I chose not to impose Earth-bound human standards on Star Wars alien races. Thus, if you are trying to locate Momaw Nadon, you need to look under Momaw Nadon. As with single-named humans, aliens who one have one word to their names are listed by that name (eg., Garindan).
If a character's race is unknown, their name is listed as it appears in the source.
Entries from any source not licensed or authorized by LucasFilm are preceeded by an asterisk (*). There's at least one of them!
