Raymond L. Velasco is identified as the "compiler" and original author of the initial version of A Guide to the Star Wars Universe.
Bill Slavicsek took over authorship for the second edition of the book and subsequent editions. He substantially revised and augmented numerous entries from Velasco's original work, and also removed some entries entirely.
