LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated & Expanded Book Review

May 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Way back in 2011, DK released LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia which featured more than 300 minifigures released for the LEGO Star Wars theme and included many facts about the characters. It’s been four years since the book was published and there are a lot more characters that have been introduced into the theme so accordingly, DK has released the new Updated and Expanded version which includes 72 additional pages of new minifigures. As tradition with many DK books, there is also an exclusive minifigure included with the book which is the White Boba Fett that is based on the Ralph McQuarrie prototype Mandalorian armor used in the 1978 screen test.

LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated & Expanded consists of 288 fully-colored pages and almost everything about the book is overhauled. First off is the new cover design with the title and minifigure window right in the middle instead of in the corner as before.

With the old Character Encyclopedia, the book was broken up into the six movies of the Star Wars saga, the Clone Wars, and the Expanded Universe. Since then Disney has released the Star Wars Rebels animated series and the book is now separated into a continuous timeline starting from Episode I, II, then to the Clone Wars, III, Rebels, IV-VI, and a new category called Legends. This chapter includes all the minifigures that were in the old Expanded Universe chapter who are regarded as non-canon.

Like with the previous version of the Character Encyclopedia, each minifigure is featured on their … Continue

LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded White Boba Fett Review

May 4, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Since Star Wars fans are celebrating May the 4th worldwide today, we have a fairly new minifigure to review, the White Boba Fett from the LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded by DK Books. This version of Boba Fett is based on the Ralph McQuarrie prototype Mandalorian armor used for a screentest in 1978.

The White Boba Fett minifigure itself is highly detailed with printing that is very accurate to McQuarrie’s concept design in all aspects from the helmet with the red triangle above the visor, to the torso and the legs which also has a pouch printing. There are also some accessories included with him such as the antenna for the helmet and a white jetpack.

Overall, the White Boba Fett is a great addition to any collection. He’s a very popular character in the Star Wars Universe and it’s a nice update to the 2010 version. Again, this White Boba Fett is only available with the purchase of the LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded.
