A Guide to the Star Wars Universe
A Guide to the Star Wars Universe is a reference book based on the Star Wars franchise published by Del Rey. The first edition was published in 1984 and written by Raymond L. Velasco, while a second edition was published in 1994, written by Bill Slavicsek, who later also wrote a third edition, published in 2000. The books alphabetically detail fictional people, places, things, and events in the Star Wars expanded universe. Most of the entries are quite short, with the longest being just over two pages. Each entry is divided into "G-canon" and "Expanded Universe" information, with media sources cited. The second edition also included a brief timeline, and a comparison of sublight speeds in starfighters.

gollark: Videos aren't actually as big as equivalent image sequences because of very clever compression algorithms like H.264, VP9 and AV1, but still very large, especially 4K and such.
gollark: Images are *pretty* big, although new lossy compression stuff like AVIF can get really small sizes without horrible quality loss, and videos are gigantic since they're effectively images and audio stitched together at 60 frames a second (well, or 25, or various other ones).
gollark: Anyway, text is not big - you can fit an entire book (again with compression) into less than a megabyte. In many ebooks the cover image and such are larger than the actual text.
gollark: > Take that backNo. They're basically just PICTURES OF PAGES with some metadata. They are AWFUL for anything but scanned documents.
gollark: It's a highly compressed archive of HTML pages and images and stuff.
