LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia Updated Edition: The Ultimate Guide to the Best 200 Minifigures from the LEGO Star Wars Galaxy; Comes with Exclusive Minifigure

The LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated Edition was published by DK in 2015, following the immense success of the original 2011 release. As part of a long-standing partnership between DK and the LEGO Group, the book was designed to catalog the expanding universe of Star Wars minifigures, serving as both a reference guide for collectors and an engaging visual history for fans of the collaboration. The volume highlights the intricate design evolutions of the minifigures, tracking how printing techniques and piece variety improved over the decade following the 1999 launch of the theme.

Author Elizabeth Dowsett curated the selection of 200 minifigures, balancing iconic characters with rare or obscure figures that appeal to adult collectors. The volume is notable for including an exclusive Boba Fett minifigure—a prototype version reflecting the character's early conceptual design—which was a primary driver for the book's popularity among completionists. The publication was well-received for its high-quality photography and structural clarity, solidifying its place as a staple reference within the comprehensive library of DK’s LEGO-themed guidebooks.
