Summary: The writing is fogetable but the art is amazing
Review: This book really showcases the beautiful artwork of Ralph McQuarrie, who helped establish the look of the Star Wars films way back at the dawn of the story as we know it. In this book we see fascinating early visual drafts of things that we would later see in the movies. Most of it was impossibly fantastic to ever get filmed at the time but maybe we'll see some of it in the next two movies.The chapters on Alderan and Bespin are particular fascinating and beautiful.

Summary: Beautiful, and informative
Review: This is a great book. Beautiful and informative. I bought it originally for the incredible artwork, but I was pleasantly surprised to find lots of great information on some of the worlds in Star Wars. The text is written by Kevin J. Anderson, but he did a pretty good job on this book. Still, the crowning glory of this book is the collection of astounding artwork by Ralph McQuarrie. Lots of full-page color paintings with remarkable detail. McQuarrie is the king of SW art, and this is him at his best! This is a must have for any Star Wars fan, or even one of great artwork, and would make a great present for any Star Wars fan.

Summary: Cool
Review: This is one of the must haves for a true Star Wars fan. It is a coffee table book, like Dinotopia. Its stunning illustrations follow the reader through the Star Wars Universe, earning points for believability, and romanticism along the way. Though not a true novel, the text is good for guiding one through the drawings on the book. You have to know that you are not getting a novel, but for a Star Wars fan it hardly matters.

Summary: WHAT HAPPENED?????
Review: What happened to this book? It is a disgrace to the star wars universe. It's practically a Star Wars dictionary, that's all. In spite of the good pictures, this book was very disappointing!!!!

Summary: Over Priced
Review: While I couldn't say I didn't like this book, I can't see how they justify the (List) price. Ok if your an art freak, but even though I'm a big Star Wars fan, it's lack of content means I could live without it.
