The tenth book in Del Rey's Essential Guide series, The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology is the updated version of The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology.

It was reprinted as part of The New Essential Guide to Characters, Weapons and Technology, and Vehicles and Vessels in 2005.

==Errors==
==Behind the scenes==
*The Aurebesh writing on the page about Darth Vader's armor translates as "Sith Trooper Armor". Similarly on the page about Vonduun crab armor, the Aurebesh at the bottom of the page translates to "A Vonduun Crab Shell-Plated Armor Sith Speeder".
*The Sun Crusher affiliation is said to be Admiral Natasi Daala. This is an error, as the Empire never used it in battle.
*The Aurebesh writing on the page about fusion cutters misspells the word as 'fuscioncutter'.
*"Missile" is misspelled as "Missle" on pages 26 and 173.
*Luke Skywalker's green lightsaber is said to resemble Darth Vader's lightsaber when it was really modeled after Obi-Wan Kenobi's third lightsaber.
