Boring. Not for me. ( )

Une lecture bien sympathique, que je conseille aux fans purs et durs, parce que ce livre est TRÈS précis. ( )

While I do like the Star Wars movies, I must say that I'm not a Star Wars fanatic. I don't fully understand the vastness of the Star Wars universe and I certainly do not enjoy it as much as the hardcore Star Wars fans. Nevertheless, this book is pretty solid and I really, really enjoyed how dynamic this book was. It doesn't focus on a single story. Instead, it pretty much works as a collection of stories, chronicles and excerpts from Sith texts, with several notes from several characters, both Jedi and Sith. It can be a bit too "technical" and "content heavy" for people who aren't THAT much into the Star Wars universe, but for those who want to go deeper into this rich universe, it's definitely worth reading.
I also managed to get the Vault Edition of the book, which comes with a HoloCrom, a Sith amulet and a Sith crystal. The box is a bit too loud and the artifacts feel like they were made of cheap plastic, but still, the objects are quite nice looking.
I was also impressed by the amount of extra material that comes within the book (maps, notes, even a piece of clothing with Sith writing that really looks like a clothing written in blood - so cool!), everything seems to help you to get immersed in the story. Definitely worth buying! ( )

An interesting condensed version of the history of the Sith. This volume draws upon the various books and comics of the expanded universe, referencing events from both the prequels and the original trilogy. Various annotations from Luke Skywalker, Emperor Palpatine, Mace Windu, and Yoda add to the materials presented, allowing this book to fulfill the same role as "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" did for the Harry Potter series. While it's not necessary to have read any of the expanded universe prior to reading this, it would benefit those who want to get more out of the experience. ( )
