I wouldn't judge based on assuming that Dougherty won't do her research- not yet, anyway. It'll be a simple matter of browsing the book in the stores and seeing what's what.

Well, they do recieve their credits and I assume most of their sections are maintained as is. Liked most of the ROTS section she did on SW:CL (except we got nothing new on the four CW planets :() so I can't really say anything until I read it.Lord Poe wrote:People like Dr. David West Reynolds and Dr. Curtis Saxton that do actual detailed research for which the ICS' are known for, weren't contacted for this project.

Not exactly. As well as the new Artoo and Sarlacc material, the Complete Visual Dictionary also contains 8 pages of new Episode III material on the Battle of Utapau, Order 66, Clone Battle Tanks and Mustafar, and 6 pages of new original trilogy material on Rebel Warriors, Imperial Personnel and Cantina Patrons. So the Complete Cross-Sections may well include new material not mentioned in that item.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:Well, considering that when the Complete VD was announced all they mentioned for new material was a new view of Artoo and the Sarlacc and in the end that was all we got, I think that'll be the case here, too.
What? You mean there won't be footnotes in the new ICS saying that readers should disregard all previous firepower claims?Spanky The Dolphin wrote:At the least, it won't include the extremely wishful thinking material that some people have mentioned.
