Summary: A visual treat for Star Wars fans
Review: "Star Wars, Episode I: The Visual Dictionary" combines text by David West Reynolds with a wealth of excellent full-color photographs. Rather than rely on shots from the film, the book primarily uses still shots that appear to have been purposefully taken for a project like this. This was, in my opinion, a wise choice, since I have noticed that the photos in other movie tie-in books can sometimes be a bit murky. The photos here are crisp and colorful, and really allow you to analyze and enjoy the details.The text comes in the form of easy-to-digest nuggets. The book covers characters, ships, weapons, clothing, robots, animals, and other elements from the movie. The text offers intriguing little tidbits of info about the SW universe (although I imagine that more devoted fans may argue about how "canonical" this info is). A nice aspect of the book is the fact that barely glimpsed elements in the film are given loving attention here. For example, you can "meet" the members of the Jedi Council more intimately. I liked the comparative size chart of Naboo sea monsters. And the fashion-oriented will have a great time exploring the ornate costumes worn by Queen Amidala and others. Overall, this book is a lot of fun.

Summary: Bomb-bad!
Review: A fantasic book, with incredible relevations such a picture of Yoda's light saber, and that strange name the Trade Federation Neimoidians had for the destroyer droids in the movie.

Summary: Good information, excellent photos, flimsy binding.
Review: Bought this book along with Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, also by David Reynolds. The pages are falling out of both books. I've had this problem with a few DK books, even the children's books. The older DK books are more sturdy. I give this item only 3 stars, and only because of the content. A book with missing pages doesn't get 5 stars.

Summary: Worthwhile and fun
Review: Episode 1 (the film) was edited in such a way that the intricate details and subtleties were difficult to pick out. Scenes too short, cuts too fast - the camera never lingered on anything for more than a second or two. This book attempts to remedy that, letting you browse and observe the finer details. Beyond the photos, a small amount of background material is provided for the characters and items. But you have to wonder how much of it is pertinent, and how much Lucas himself truly imagined.

Summary: A Really Great Book!
Review: Even though I would usually prefer Star Wars books that tell a story, I still like this book very much. It is very valuable, and it has a lot of information on all kinds of things you see from episode one. Usually, the episodes don't really explain anything like what kind of starship the people are standing in, what is this, what is that. But this book tells you everything you need to know. It has cool pictures and detailed information to go along with it. If you want to find out about Episode I, you should definitely get this book.

Summary: This is a great book!
Review: Everyone who has an interest in Star Wars should buy this book. This book answers a lot of questions that you might be wondering about after you see the movie. I also recamend the visual dictonary for the Star Wars trilogy.
