Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Incredible Cross-Sections
DK continues their tradition of peeling back the hulls and bulkheads of the most awesome vehicles and vessels in the Star Wars galaxy with amazingly detailed illustrations and authoritative descriptive text. Peer inside the new Jedi starfighter, the Republic's Juggernaut turbo-tank, General Grievous' flagship and much more, with illustrations by Hans Jennsen and Richard Chasemore, and text by Curtis Saxton.

I thought I saw that "crab droid" (VD, lower right) in the Ep. III videogame trailer. Cool look, wonder what it´s purpose is?
Also noticed an almost full view of Grievous´ ship exploding on the third picture from the top, plus banking clan cruisers and an unidentified Seperatist ship (the long Mon Cal-lookalike).

The only thing that makes Trekkiies shriek is seeing the names Mike Wong and Wayne Poe in the back of the book "who were prominent among the hundreds of people contributing to constructive debates about Star Wars technicalities over the years, resulting in the consensus of conceptual and physical foundations applied in these pages."

Speaking as someone with psychological insight into that sort of mind I can affirm that 4-5 years ago that would indeed be an accurate description of my response to seeing those two names in the back.

From what has been stated over at the Original Site, no ITW for Epi. III is as-so-far in the works. Hopefully one will come out within a year of the film.
Well it pleases me to find out the ROTS ICS is in good hands.

We need something printed black on white for the minimalists to believe it.
Seriously, i´m hoping for at least one hard number concerning fleet-sizes in that book.
Perhaps in the Venator-entry: "At the height of the developing New Order more than a million of the next model of Star Destroyer, the ISD, were in service, of which 25,000 formed the backbone of the trans-galactic operating forces." or something like that.
The optimist thinks, that we live in the best of all possible worlds and the pessimist is afraid, that this is true.

If there's an orbital bombardment (and from what I hear, that is a strong possibility) and the yields in the movie don't agree with the yields in the ICS, I can easily see many Star Trek supporters coming out to say that the ICS's should not be accepted. Depending on what we see in the movie, this could either be really good for the Star Wars side, or it could start a new round of wars between Trekkies and Warsies. We'll just have to wait and see.
OT: I wish the movie was coming out Christmas instead of May of 2005.
