Publisher's summary[]

Aren't we lucky! Star Wars Fandex Deluxe is a perfect meeting of format and content, bringing all the virtues of Fandex to the supergalactic saga of our times, delivering an obsessive deck for the obsessive fan (and the perfect cheat sheet for parents who want to know what their kids are talking about). Darth Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi. Luke Skywalker. Han Solo and Chewbacca, Emperor Palpatine, Padmé Amidala, Darth Sidious, Boba Fett, Qui-Gon Jinn, and, of course, Yoda, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Jabba the Hutt—in die-cut card after die-cut card, Star Wars Fandex Deluxe celebrates the pantheon of immortals from the Star Wars galaxy.

Star Wars Fandex Deluxe is authorized by and written in close collaboration with Lucasfilm. This deluxe title comprises 75 die-cut cards, 50 percent more than standard Fandex, and it includes not only the beloved characters, but also starships, droids, gadgets, and more. And the text is packed with fascinating information. Get to know the other Jedi Knights, like Plo Koon and Shaak Ti. The difference between a clone trooper and a stormtrooper. The architects of the Death Star. Plus the secret of Darth Vader’s paternal lineage, why there can be only two Sith Lords at any given time, and much more. It's the essential Fandex for every Star Wars buff.^[1]

Continuity[]

TheFandex states thatDarth Maul's first encounter with theJedi was when facingQui-Gon Jinn onTatooine. However, Maul had faced other Jedi before, such asDarsha Assant.
It states that a rogue Jedi started theSith, when it was actually a group ofDark Jedi.
It claims that whenOrder 66 was executed,Yoda andObi-Wan Kenobi were the last of the Jedi who survived theGreat Jedi Purge when there were actually other survivors, such asRahm Kota. TheFandex even contradicts itself by later stating thatShaak Ti also survived.
Although it correctly states thatGeneral Grievous was taken toGeonosis, it falsely says he was operated upon byGeonosian scientists, although in reality it wasdroids. Later, it states thatAnakin Skywalker's burnt body was taken to Geonosis, but it was actuallyCoruscant. It says the same thing happened to him as General Grievous, when they were both operated on by droids and not Geonosians.
