The Star Wars Vault: Thirty Years of Treasures from the Lucasfilm Archives

Product Information

This is Captain Vult Skerris of Defender Squadron One. Hope we're not too late to join in. Anything in particular we can do for you?" ―Skerris, to Commander Kimmund [4]

The Star Wars Vault is the insider's look at the development and making of all six movies, and the huge cultural impact they've had. In addition to hundreds of photos and pieces of artwork, the book includes fifty interactive, rare -even some never-before-seen - pieces of memorabilia. After reading "The Bounty Hunter Code" (TBHC after this) from the same series as this book I was hoping this book would be a bit better. TBHC was fun, but too stale and dry for my taste. I was expecting "The Jedi Path" to be much more philosophical, since Jedi are much more spiritual than bounty hunters. So, did this book do its job? Jedi who added personal commentary: Yoda, Thame Cerulian, Count Dooku, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Darth Sidious, and Luke Skywalker. In that year, [13] following Skerris' demise, Captain Benj Dobbs was placed in command of Defender Squadron One. Commodore Faro believed that the pilot's death over Lothal was the direct result of his arrogance. However, she also believed that Dobbs and his pilots could not match Skerris' skill in combat, and hoped that the squadron was able to rise up to the task should the Chimaera face another battle. [21]Overall I liked this book very much. Especially the parts about the Jedi code and the Force are great parts to read. I didn't like the parts about attire, and equipment as much, since they were quite dry, just like TBHC. What really adds to this books are the annotations by famous Jedi and even Sith. They added a lot of flavour and a little bit more depth to the book, even though these are no longer considered canon.

Attention, rebel ship, this is Commander Vult Skerris of the Imperial Navy. You are harboring a traitor to the Empire. Surrender immediately." ―Skerris hails the Ghost [5] I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn about the ways of the Jedi and has a higher level of thinking and reading, because it is a hard read and offers a lot of missing information on Jedi. If you don't like Star Wars or don't find it interesting, then this book is not for you because you would be bored. Oh I'm afraid not, my dear. I haven't been inside myself for years. Only members of the Jedi Council are allowed access." ―Ahsoka Tano asking Jocastu Nu about entering the Holocron Vault [1]

It also includes some nice souvenirs from a bygone era like a severed Jedi braid, a military patch, a napkin with a lightsaber design drawn on it. Very nice. But this was too much even for me. It hits a level of detail that often left me lost, and I found it a little tedious even though it's an easy read. I've never lost Star Wars Trivial Pursuit, but that's because the game I have pertains to the original trilogy movies, and has only a few expanded universe book questions thrown in, and the movies is where my base of knowledge lies. This book touches on stuff in the movies, but is mostly related to expanded universe matters which comes from books, video games, and, I believe, some fan fiction.
