Well, as you may or may not be able to tell from the title, I recently aquired the Star Wars Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels. If anyone is interested, I will try and scan and post any requests for ships. The guide has pics and specs of around 100 vehicles, including all New Republic fighters, all 7 types of TIES (8 if you count the Scimitar Assault Bombers, which you really can't considering it has only one ion engine), lots of other ships, such as the Imperial- and Victory-class star destroyers, the Executor, the Eclipse, the Death Stars, the Death Star Prototype, the Sun Crusher, dreadnoughts, Carrack-class cruisers, all kinds of neat stuff. So, if you want to see the pics, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

This book has numerous errors, BTW...which is, unfortunately, typical of the "official" books.

Personally, I didn't need illustrations of some of those novel ships that look like bug.

No need to scan. I have it as well.

On a separate note, I saw the Star Wars Essential Guide to Droids at Coles yesterday, it looked pretty cool... Lots of nice diagrams of droids and I thought the few pages I read were pretty well written. Of course, I'm only a causal SW fan, so I couldn't spot any glaring errors...
I also have Vehicles and Vessels too.

Errors? Like the flash suppressor on a laser gun? 8)

I have the Droids one...I haven't read it yet, though.
Lee: Prove that's an error.

Ok, for anyone who doesn't have the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, I'll try and post any requests you may have

Well, there is that whole physics thing, but why worry about that? *lol*

Sorry Fabrux!
Now for those of you with both the book and the SW1:Special Edition, you will find in the new Mos Eisley footage an Imperial Landing Craft from the book's page 78 taking flight. I've looked at this scene a million times and it seems to be the same profile.
In other news--they ain't laser guns. After 25,000 years who'd use something as ancient as lasers? Not me pally! ------------------ What do you mean I'm not kind. Just not you're kind. --Dave Mustaine "Peace Sells" MEGADETH
