The Star Wars Databank is the official Star Wars site's reference on characters, locations and technology. Entries are checked when they are posted but may not be kept up to date. When they are up to date the movie sections are "G-Canon" and the Expanded Universe sections are "C-Canon".
Each article progresses by describing the subject's incarnation in the movies if applicable, and moving on to Expanded Universe material; finally, there is often a "Behind the Scenes" section which describes the subject's real-world history, inspiration, and production.
Famous quotes containing the words star and/or wars:
“Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
As obstinacy, both in men and women,
Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The bases for historical knowledge are not empirical facts but written texts, even if these texts masquerade in the guise of wars or revolutions.”
—Paul Deman (1919–1983)
