Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a feast for the eyes!
Review: Long have I wondered what the layout of the DEATH STAR looked like, or how the Tantive IV was laid out inside. Now I know.

While just 32 pages, this book will trap you with its details and fascinate you with its prose. A must for any serious Star Wars fan. Don't pass it up!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Arghhh!
Review: Awesome illustrations. Beautiful edition. The text is brief but enough. This book is so good that you will be glad to have spend your money on it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved the detailed blueprints and interesting information
Review: This book was great! It covered many major starships in the Star Wars universe and had great information. The colorful inllustrations and cutaways were extremely detailed! My thanks goes out to George Lucas for creating this wonderful saga.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'd give this 6 stars if I could!
Review: This is awesome, period

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: So Much for So Little
Review: What can I say, I wish there was more. Star Wars fans everywhere will delve into this book with the same zeal as Goldie Locks into a bowl of warm porage. Problem is, when they get to the end, they'll split the back cover as I did looking for more pages. This is a very well handled book, it's not plastic or condescending. It doesn't coddle the reader. It forces you to look hard at the picture, and I applaud the artists involved. But there could always be more, so I look forward to a second edition.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Silly rabbit, this book is NOT just for kids.
Review: The postive reviews that have already been posted says it all. Don't be put off by the thinness of the 32 page book. That is 32 pages of never before seen information and eye popping illustrations. Buy it. Read it. Learn it. Live it. Read it again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Seriously cool volume of Star Wars ships and vehicles
Review: The beautifully illustrated DK duo cover characters, costumes, and weaponry in the Visual Dictionary, while the Cross Sections book dissects vehicles and spacecraft. Want to know how a light saber really works or what the interior of an Imperial Stormtrooper's helmet looks like? It's all in here. The most remarkable thing about the books is the amount of thought that's been expelled on the workings of things that don't even exist. The DK books are seriously cool and exceedingly browsable. Though aimed at kids, don't be surprised to see plenty of adults flipping through them also.-Michael Rogers, "Library Journal"

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yeap Dad this is a good one.
Review: Ep 2's turn to have it's spaceships and other craft pulled apart and exposed in all their glory. Once again the foldout format is still the best and great for childern and grownups alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Star Wars in Detail
Review: "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones--Incrdeible Cross-Sections" is an absolute must for any Star Wars fanatic. Besides giving the specs on the most popular hardware in the movie, this book gives brief histories and explanations of how the vehicles came to be.

Not to mention some of the trivia is interesting. Wonder what type of ship Slave 1 (Jango Fett's ship) is? Why don't you see more in the universe? Who built it and how did Jango get it? What modifications did Boba make later? All these questions are answered for Slave 1 and the other prominent vehicles in the movie.

I've spent hours pouring over the details. The details present in the "schematic" of the enormous Republic Assault Ship can be mesmerizing. The cross section of the Trade Federation Core ship is simply fun. Try figuring out how Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan got around the thing in Episode One. The artists usually placed a figure in the drawing to give you some idea of the scale of the vehicle. You don't appreciate how big some of these ships are until you see a batallion of clone troopers dwarfed in comparison.

I'd recommend this for any Star Wars enthusiast, anyone that appreciates detailed Science Fiction, or fans of creative art.

Rating: 5 stars
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
