The Star Wars Compendium #2: The World of Star Wars was published in 1981 by Paradise Press. The cover price was $2.95 in the US and £1.25 in the UK. Though it did not include The Star Wars Compendium in the title, this magazine used the numbering scheme of the others in the series. The magazine collected a number of articles from Star Wars Official Poster Monthly and The Empire Strikes Back Official Poster Monthly.
