Reception
Andy Butcher reviewed Star Wars: The Essential Guide To Characters for Arcane magazine, rating it a 5 out of 10 overall. Butcher comments that "although the biographies are somewhat disappointing - for the most part just detailing the actions of the character in the films and not really revealing anything new they do summarise the plots of the various books and comic stories. It's this that might make Star Wars: The Essential Guide To Characters worthy of purchase."
