Warning: This infobox has missing parameters: followed by, title, preceded by, release date and unrecognized parameters: book title, publish date, imageBG 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.

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 was 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—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.
