Rating: Summary: Incredible is right Review: All of the Star Wars visual dictionaries and icredible cross sections are so detailed and easily read, but this one has got to be the best. Check out the classic Incom T-65 X-Wing's S-Foils, find the Imperial AT-AT's weakness and see the amazing class .5 hyerdrive of the legendary Millenium Falcon, and get a little history behind each ship. I love these books!
Rating: Summary: to "a reader from California" Review: it does not include data on all ships from the trilogy, including: sentiniel-class landing craft, the a- and b-wings, the lambda-class shuttle, the tie bomber, and the mon calamari star crusier, fyi! i guess u havent seen a new hope, the empire strikes back,or return of the jedi.
Rating: Summary: Another great Star Wars book! Review: This Star Wars Cross-sections book is a must-have for Star Wars fans. The detailed renderings of all the main vehicles in AOTC is as impressive as the companion for The Phantom Menace. The writer, Curtis Saxon, has obviously done a great deal of investigation for everything, with so many detailed drawings and fascinating notes. For curios of the inner workings of all the speeders and starships, this is indespensible. Great stuff.
Rating: Summary: Another Good Cross Selections Book Review: This book has it all and more! With over 10 ships drawn in amazing detail. Each ship (or vehicle) has cut away views that show power sources, shields, gravity technology, cargo space and more! The vehicles all have a Data File that tell you the manufactuar, the make, dimensions, speed, power, armament , crew, and all the data is thourgh and organized. This book is must have for any fan who want to know more than what is shown in the movie.
Rating: Summary: A good book...if you're into that sort of thing like me Review: I wouldn't call this the greatest technical book of all times. I wouldn't be suprised if this book wasn't nominated for any kind of award. But Episode 1: Incredible Cross-sections is captivating enough to stand on its own. I enjoyed it because I got to look through the insides of some of the film's most enigmatic ships and vessels like Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator and the Gungan Bongo. It's good for those who were still puzzled about the ships after the end of the film.
Rating: Summary: If you enjoyed the movie, you must have this book Review: If you are a tech-fan of Star Wars, you must have this book. It brings a lot of information on the ships that appear in the movie. The only thing I missed is some pictures of the ships without the cross-section, to compare some details.
Rating: Summary: One of the best Star Wars book, but... Review: When I put "but"is due to the fact other reviewers have noticed: there are some ships are not displayed in this book, and mainly the Mon-Calamary cruiser, the Lambda Shuttle, the TIE Bomber and others. But considering this book encompasses three movies, its is one that all Star Wars fan must have.
Rating: Summary: Very detailed book with few missing points Review: One of the missing points is the Chancellor ship which appeared in the movie and it was not displayed in this book. It is more complete than the former book, even considering it is only for one movie and the other is for all three. Other missing point is the lack of a picture of the ship without the cross-section. It is important to compare. I recommend.
Rating: Summary: Great book Review: I really enjoyed this book. A lot of great pictures of the new vehicles. A must have for Star Wars collectors
Rating: Summary: The Dr. Is In. Review: I would like to simply say that this is a great book and by far superior to any of the other tech books previous released, especially those by WiG. The decision by Lucasfilm to use the wealth of Curtis Saxton is giving the impression that they would like to correct some of the grevious and sloppy mistakes made by other authors. Dr. Saxton did an excellent job with this book, which is not suprising since he never does anything half-way. Be sure to visit his site: Star Wars Technical Commentaries. Great job Dr. Saxton, and thank you Lucasfilm.
