This article is about the real-life reference book. You may be looking for the in-universe book.

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

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.[5] It was released on October 14, 2014.[4]

Publisher's summaryEdit

As the Galactic 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—no matter which side of the Civil War they're on.[2]

ContinuityEdit

Although it was released after April 2014's split of the Canon/Legends continuities and creation of the rule that any works released after that date are to be designated canon, 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.[6] Despite this, however, it does have references to canon material, such as the Lasan Suppression, the AT-DP, the TIE Advanced v1 (referred to as TIE Advanced prototype), and the propaganda posters Strength & Obedience, COMPNOR Recruitment, and Expose, Pursue, Destroy (although the last one was slightly modified when it later appeared in canon).
