With text by the Star Wars author, Kevin J. Anderson, and paintings by the films' main concept artist, Ralph McQuarrie, this is a guide to eight Star Wars locales: Tatooine, the stark, desert home planet of Luke Skywalker; Coruscant, the great and glorious centre of the Empire; Dagobah, the swampy world of Yoda; Bespin, the gas planet, site of the famed floating metropolis, Cloud City; Endor, the forest moon sheltering the Ewoks; Hoth, the frozen wasteland which is the site of a secret Rebel base; Yavin 4, the jungle moon, nearly destroyed by the first Death Star; and Alderaan, Princess Leia's homeworld, cruelly annihilated by the same Death Star.
