A good solid gaming supplement. As usual, it has new alien races, new talents for each class, new feats. Unfortunately, it literally is a fifty year period of history that is covered in this supplement. The Sith War of Exar Kun and Ulic Qel Droma is considered the start of the period, with the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi Civil War, and the Dark Wars ending the period. I had hoped for a longer chronology and more NPC options from this book. The Jedi, Sith, Mandalorians, and Republic all get their own chapter which includes new Force powers, some new talents, weapons/vehicles/starships/equipment/droids that each group might have. Also is a small chapter on other NPCs during the time period who don't fit under any classification.
If they'd covered a bit more, I'd have liked the supplement more. Also, like the other campaign supplements, it has minor editorial glitches. WoTC needs to go over their proofs with a fine tooth comb.
Overall, I'd recommend to anyone playing a Jedi or interested in playing pre-Star Wars movies.

A great reference book for any KOTOR era Star Wars campaign. While designed for Saga Edition, there's enough systemless material (such as the history of the various KOTOR conflicts and wars) that it should be useful regardless of what system you're using.
If you are using SW:SE, then you'll find rules for templated equipment as well as alternative lighsaber crystals, both of which go along way to recreating the highly-customizable feel of the KOTOR video games. There's plenty of information on new species, additional talents for all of the core classes, three new prestige classes (gladiator, duelist and corporate spy) and a host of new starships for the Republic, Sith, Mandalorian and Jedi factions.
