Wow, FOX has decided to use the immense popularity of the Wing Commander Movie to advertise that other space movie they're releasing soon. Yep, you guessed it, the second Phantom Menace Trailer will be attached to the Wing Commander Movie on March 12th. I can hear the cash registers now... (As always, Dan's Wing Commander Movie Site reported this).
Well, it's only fair to judge the handbook as what it is - a new continuity, so here's my new review.
The Good: It's colorful, it's full of information and it's layed out in a cool manner. This book establishes an incredible new background for the Wing Commander Universe, which is all very well done. The format, various WC-era documents viewed via some sort of web browser, is great. Everything from scientific thesis' on jump technology, to extracts from Joan's to "In step with... Admiral Tolwyn"!
The Bad: There are a few internal inconsistancies, which aren't even worth mentioning. You won't notice them. The only real problem with this book is the cover - for some reason it, in large letters, proclaims "Contains Confederation Oath of Service!". I'm left confused as to why this is so important, and why it says this - the Oath is nowhere to be found. I'm betting the people who wrote the book didn't design the cover...
Extra: On a rather nifty note, the guide does NOT go into the actual story of the WC movie - simply the elements around it. You can buy this book and still be surprised by the movie itself.
