Star Wars Encyclopedia is a 1998 reference book written by Stephen J. Sansweet, the director of content management at Lucasfilm and science fiction author. The book defines, explains, and illustrates the characters, creatures, settings, objects, events, and concepts that appear in the science fiction saga Star Wars.

Star Wars Encyclopedia contains an introduction written by science fiction writer Timothy Zahn.
- Curiously Darth Vader has a blue lightsaber and Luke Skywalker has a red lightsaber when pictured on the cover. The explanation is that the art was taken directly from Drew Struzan's art for the Revenge of the Jedi movie poster and wasn't changed as an homage to that poster.
