I agree. A Star Wars: Complete Cross-sections-- Incredible Cross-Sections Episode I to VI would also be great.

Hmm... no 'incredible cross-sections mark II'? Oh well, you can't have everything.

If Saxton participates on those projects then there shouldn't be a problem.
If not then then there might be the risk some facts might contradict what has already been established.

I hope "new information and illustrations" on the ITW guide means a mention of the two unnamed Imperial ship-classes in ROTJ. One can hope. :P

s well updated information and new text by Kerrie Dougherty and new illustrations by the same team of artists.
Who's Kerrie Dougherty?

And how will the updated information, new text and new information affect the previous C-canon datapoints? "Updated" implies they're changing something. They better not fuck with the Death Star 2 and Executor sizes.

I think that the meaning mainly is that they're expanding on the number of locations. However, I've never heard of Kerrie Dougherty, but we'll see how this turns out.

Eh..I don't like that Saxton isn't on it, but I don't know anything about Kerrie, so I'll just have to wait and see like everyone else. I hope it's good stuff though. I've liked the DK books I've gotten so far.

He's probably going to continue as consultant, and will still be credited for the previous work he's done. Actually this sounds more like a reprint of the previous work that's just been collected into one giant omnibus, with a few new snippets of information.
