Summary: It was semi-perfect.
Review: This book is based on the actual film and gives a detailed perspective on the star wars storyline. Even details that go about unnoticed are mentioned here. This is surely a classic if you're interesed in the surreal world of Star Wars.

Summary: cool book
Review: This book is really cool. It has so many details and characters that you don't even notice in the movie. And also, in the chapter of the book titled Jedi in Combat or something like that, there is a picture of Count Dooku holding his red lightsaber, AND a BLUE one. Dooku with a red lightsaber and a blue one?? Obviously it's a cut scene, which is cool since we get to see a snapshot of it.

Summary: Very detailed guide to the film...
Review: Well, now I own all of the "visual dictionaries" for the Star Wars films, and I highly enjoy them all. They`re informative, colorfull and entertaining to read.
If you want to know more about the characters, seeing the movie isn`t enough. And these books are a good way to get more information.
The fact that the original trilogy had one Visual Dictionary for all three films is a pity, but as each of the prequel films will have an own 64-page dictionary, the room for details is rather big. In this one, there are more information about the lesser known characters/creatures/locations than ever before.
Some of the characters, I could barely even spot in the movie.
As we are familiar with most of the good guys from the visual dictionary of "Episode I - The Phantom Menace", there aren`t as much info about them here as in the last book, but the new villains of Episode II, like bounty hunters Jango Fett and Zam Wesell, dark jedi Count Dooku and the separatists, are given lots of attention here. There are litteraly hundreds of pictures here. Some of the most interesting parts are the Coruscant underground, as we get to know more about this planet, which has previously been briefly represented in the last two books.
Over all, I can recommend this one to anyone who enjoyed the new Star Wars movie and want to know more about it. An exciting and entertaining book that the whole family will love!

Summary: DOUBLE PAGE SPREADS = DOUBLE ENJOYMENT
Review: What a cool book for all Star Wars fans! The photos are dazzling, rich in details, full of the characters and gadgetry envisioned by George Lucas. Each photo is annotated and the pages are crammed with facts - surely enough to satisfy even the most avid aficionado! The author and members of the DK staff spent some time at Skywalker Ranch, Lucasfilm's California headquarters as they met with the film's creators, propmakers, and stunt coordinators. Such research is obvious in this superb resource. The double-page spreads are great for browsing, amd the inside information is fascinating. - Gail Cooke

Summary: Great photos not found anywhere else!
Review: While I've been a Star Wars fan since 1977, I haven't really felt the need to get any of the books that expound on the history of the characters. However, the Visual Dictionaries are a totally different thing!
Wonderful photos - close ups you will see no where else, of the cast, of the costumes, of the props. You'll see characters you only got a glimpse of in the movie, and see up close what some of the nifty gadgets look like.
Definitely a must buy for the SW fans out there.
