Perhaps he's referring to the fact that just because something is mildly amusing once doesn't mean it's any funnier the 100th time.

Since it's the visual dictionary, I just look at the pictures. I find it's best to ignore the dubiously uncreative dorkified text.

This is also how I get through most message board threads.

We still need the Chancellor Palpatine page as well as text from the page that describes the fight between Palpatine and the Jedi.

Great job guys!

Some people over at TFN have the Cross-Sections book already, but they won't let them post scans. So if you're reading this, post them here! :heavymetal:

Lord Peeler:
Palpi opens up an industrial-size can of Whoop Ass on those Jedi. It seems Anakin kills Mace (not sure about that), but DS makes coldcuts out of the Fisto and the rest of the supposed Jedi saber masters.

I have the Cross Sections book, too. I think they're a snooze. You guys want that stuff?

I, and many others like me, are tech-philes and would very much like some scans from this book. Pretty please. :)

I'm going to rescan the DV and Yoda pix with text intact. I initially started posting these on another board, which isn't so spoiler friendly.

I'd like to see all of it.

And yes, that includes the inevitable Mouse Droid cross section.

This part of the cross sections book sounds interesting: (from royalguard96 at TF.N):

...there is a reference to Vader being on Palpatine's shuttle.

"Lord Vader lies maimed, burned and crippled after falling into volcanic ash during his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar."

The illustration shows Sidious sitting at the foot of a "bed" that almost looks like a carbonite slab. You can see a torso of a burned man laying in the bed with a breath mask on.

Venator-class Star Destroyer

The Galatic Republic's new Venator-class Star Destroyer is fast enough to chase down blockade runners and big enough to lead independent missions such as the liberation of Utapau. A floatila of these medium-weight, versatile multi-role warships can blast through the shields of a Trade Federation battleship with ease. The hangars of the Venator-class are much larger than older Star Destroyers like the Victory-class, and can support hundreds of fightercraft. The ship is also capable of planetary landings as a military transport and can be an escort for battleships in the Republic's armada. However, the primary function of the Venator-class is its role as a fighting ship and starfighter carrier, making it a firm favorite with Jedi fighter aces.

Stats:
1,137 meters long, 548 m wingspan
max acceleration: 3000 G
hyperdrive class: 1.0
crew: 7400
armament: 8 heavy turbolaser turrets, 2 medium dual turbolaser cannons, 52 point-defense laser cannons, 4 proton torpedo tubes, 6 tractor beam projectors.

Complement: 192 V-Wing fighters, 192 Eta-2 Actis Interceptors, 36 ARC-170 Fighters, 24 military walkers, 40 LAAT/i gunships and misc. shuttles.

Droid Gunship

Ominous in appearance and relentless in battle, the droid gunship is a powerful, well-shielded millile platform. Designed for air strikes within planet atmospheres, it moves at relatively slow speeds and displays average maneuverability, but this is compensated for by its awesome firepower. Two laser cannon turrets can track targets independently, while torpedoes and missiles prove devastating against ground-based installations, attack vehicles and faster short-range targets. The wing modules can carry extra laser cannons, concussion bombs and upgraded targeting scanners. The droid gunship is truly a symbol of Separatist military might.

Stats:
12.3 meters long, 11 meters wide
max acceleration: 100G
max air speed: 14,200 KPH
armament: 14 missiles, 2 laser cannon turrets, 1 medium laser cannon, 2 light laser cannons.

General Grievous' Wheel bike

General Grievous' fearsome reputation as a merciless military leader is reinforced by a personal fleet of specialized killing machines and vehicles. On cavernous Utapau, the cyborg general; drives a wheel bike - a tumbling twin-wheel that surrounds a central motor. Grievous' military vehicle is an offshoot of the Banking Clan's hoop-wheeled Hailfire droids, designed to roll at initmidating speed on hard surfaces. It can also raise itself up on two pairs of legs to walk over the top of battle wrecks and other obstacles. A double laser cannon replaces one side seat and Grievous can wield either a convieniently placed electrostaff, a blaster, or one of his Jedi lightsaber trophies when he rolls into a battle. Flexing claws skirt the wheels to provide a smoother ride, or clutch the ground as climbing teeth. The bike's strong grip allows amazing acrobatics, an ability displayed when Grievous is pursued by Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Grievous' fighter

Although he prefers hand-to-hand combat, General Grievious often flies a battle-worn Belbullab-22 fighter designed by Feethan Ottraw Scalable Assemblies, specialists in self-constructing armaments factories. Made for a living pilot, the hyperdrive-equipped craft is bulkier and hardier than disposable droid fighters. Two main ion drives enable the Belbullab to keep pace with an Utapauan P-38. A rear-mounted thrust-vectoring fin and auxiliary thrusters built into the wings assist with yaw and roll maneuvers. Raoid-firing triple leaser cannons sustain firepower of equivalent destructive force to that of the V-Wing starfighters.

Invisible Hand Stats

length: 1,088 meters
propulsion: 4 Nubian Creveld-4 radial ion drives
max acceleration: 2,500 G
max speed: 2000 KPH
hyperdrive class 1.5
crew: 600 and up to 1.5 million battle droids
armament: 14 quad turbolaser turrets, 34 dual laser cannons, 2 ion cannons, 12 point-defense ion cannons, 102 proton torpedo tubes.
complement: 120 droid tri-fighters, 120 vulture fighters, 160 MTTs, 280 assorted droid armored vehicles.

Commerce Guild Support Destroyer:

Recusant-class light destroyers are mass-produced by zealous workers led by Techno Union foremen, using materials from many Commerce Guild worlds. Since the beginning of the Clone Wars, countless numbers of these support vessels have been built, destroyerd in battle, and replaced. Lone Recusant-class ships often carry out attacks on Loyalist commercial shipping, but their real effectiveness becomes apparent when deployed in large numbers. Four to six can outgun a Venator-class or Victory-class Star Destroyer, but it would take 1,000 Recusant-class ships to take on Kuat Drive Yard's Mandator II Star Dreadnaught.

Stats:
1,187 meters long, 157 meters wide, 163 meters tall
Acceleration: 2,800G
hyperdrive class: 2.0; 30,000 light year effective range
300 crew, up to 40,000 deactivated battle droids
Weapons: 1 prow heavy turbolaser cannon, 4 heavy turbolaser cannons, 6 heavy turbolaser turrets, 5 turbolaser cannons, 30 dual laser cannons, 12 dual light laser cannons, 60 point-defense laser cannons.

I'm guessing that, since there is no mention of any other types of Star Destroyers, the Venator class is the same model as the Star Destroyers seen in the Battle of Courouscant pics we've been getting.

I´m guessing the BC frigate is the ship with the cross-shaped bridge structure, there´s plenty of them in the shots so far.

The TU fighters are something I haven´t seen before.

Some interesting news. Cheebo86, a member at TF.N, ordered a CD version of Revenge of the Sith and it has slipped by Del-Ray's blockade and is apparently on its way to his house as we speak (according to tracking information).

Watch this thread for more...

Would be awesome if it all really does pan out. :heavymetal:
