Star Wars: Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide

Star Wars: Imperial Handbook: A Commander's Guide is a forthcoming reference book on the procedures and tactical guidelines for the Imperial Military by Daniel Wallace. It will be bundled with a motorized case with lights and sounds, an introductory note from Luke Skywalker, and a specially designed die-cast Imperial military medal.

Pre-orders were supposed to start on July 1, 2014. However, a customer service message from Becker&mayer! later implied that the book would be available for pre-order on their website around September 1. It is due to be released on October 20, 2014.

Publisher's summary
''As the Imperial Empire expands, high-ranking officials from each branch of the Imperial Military have set down tactical guidelines and procedures for all newly ascending commanders. Set in-universe, this compendium of ordinance, mission reports, and Imperial philosophy was intercepted by members of the Rebel Alliance, some of whom also left commentary scribbled in the margins. Housed in a deluxe case that opens with lights and sounds, this never-before-seen Imperial Handbook is perfect for Star Wars fans&mdash;no matter which side of the Civil War they're on.''

Continuity
Publisher becker&mayer! has confirmed that Imperial Handbook is branded as Star Wars Legends, meaning it is not part of the official Star Wars canon.
