Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know

Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know is a Dorling Kindersley reference title and part of the Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens initiative. The 200-page title was published on September 4, 2015 and provides facts about the Star Wars universe such as the oldest Jedi and a list of all owners of the Millennium Falcon.
While the title was written in part by one of the same writers as Ultimate Star Wars, Adam Bray, the two projects are described as being "very different." Readers will find "very little common information between the two" as "Absolutely Everything highlights anecdotal, quirky and obscure facts." On October 3, 2017, the title was followed by Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know, Updated and Expanded.

==Canonicity==
While information from this reference is treated as canon for Holocron purposes, the book also contains the following disclaimer in the back:
In 2014 Lucasfilm reclassified what is considered canon in the Star Wars universe. Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know draws mostly upon information from the Expanded Universe that Lucasfilm now considers to be "Legends"―that is, stories beyond the original six films and the TV shows Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.
For example, page 186 refers to Palpatine's execution and cloning of Bevel Lemelisk, confirmed to be non-canon by Pablo Hidalgo of the Lucasfilm Story Group.
