Star Wars: Incredible Cross-Sections represents the initial entry in DK's "definitive" Star Wars Incredible Cross-Sections collection. It was penned by David West Reynolds and features illustrations from Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore.
The captivating spacecraft and extraordinary vehicles from Star Wars dominate our cinema screens, almost evolving into characters of their own due to their complex specifics and intriguing designs. The depth of their conceptualization sparks inquisitiveness: what resides within a Jawa sandcrawler, and in what manner does a Star Destroyer deploy its TIE Fighters? Where was Ben Kenobi situated when he disabled the Death Star's tractor beam? Finally, the internal arrangements and elements of these remarkable vessels are revealed here, addressing all these inquiries and providing more insight, displaying where all the activity occurs and how their systems operate. The most scrupulous research and design efforts were implemented to render the remarkable illustrations within this book conclusive. One can observe Chewbacca's bowcaster situated in the primary hold of the Millennium Falcon, and within Boba Fett's Slave I quarters, one can discern the data book wherein he has ultimately documented Han Solo as "captured." Numerous of these crafts have been enigmas; their concealed aspects are now disclosed. Investigate them independently, and immerse yourself in the profundity of one of the most significant narratives of our era.

In the TIE Advanced X1 image, Aurebesh characters are visible, spelling the name "Jenssen."
The book mistakenly refers to the BTL-A4 Y-Wing as a "BLT-A4 Y-Wing". This error was rectified in the 2007 publication, Star Wars: Complete Cross-Sections.
The Death Star page incorrectly states 'Docking Day 3207' instead of Docking Bay 327. This was likewise corrected in Star Wars: Complete Cross-Sections.
During the development of the Imperial-class Star Destroyers for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, model creator John Knoll consulted Incredible Cross-Sections to ensure the ship's interior was consistent with established Star Destroyer details.
