Rating: Summary: Great for confirmed fans and newcomers alike Review: I am not one of those people who knows all the intricate details of the Star Wars saga. Now there is a younger person (my son) in my life, who saw Episode One, I find myself answering questions about characters and events. This book is fabulous. It is the usual beautifully crafter Dorling Kindersley book with superb photo illustrations. Anyone familiar with the "Eyewitness" travel guides will appreciate the style. The book details in archaelogical type detail (the author is an archaeologist - he says he approaches Star Wars as if it is an ancient civilization - looking for all the evidence of how it works) all the artefacts, and the people / characters, giving background details and physical details. It also explains some history and motivations which help you know the people and events easier. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: A Great Gift Review: I bought this book for my nine-year-old son, but I had a quick peek first! As expected, the very next day I found the living room floor carpeted with drawings and diagrams he'd based on the illustrations. My only complaint would be that the book was a little thinner than I had expected, and personally, I'd have given the actors single pages and put the pod racers on the double-page spreads. I was particularly disappointed not to find a cut-away of the Radon-Ultzer engines - well, there's always the Incredible Cross-Sections book, I suppose!
Rating: Summary: Nice, but better to borrow it from someone or library Review: I bought this nice book, taht outlines everythign in the movie, from all the nitty gritty things you dont' even pay attention to. It has some nice pictures, but really, its not worth the 20 bukcs you end up paying, cause you read it once, you''ll never touch it again.
Rating: Summary: If there is ONE book you get...........This is it!! Review: I don't have the book, but I saw it at a book store....I picked it up and couldn't put it back down!! It has very good pictures, and is very handy. I would recommand this book to any SW fan!!
Rating: Summary: This is a very neat book! Review: I like this book a lot. It explains everything in detail. It even shows some things the movie doesn't show, like Yoda's lightsaber. You get to see details of Naboo sea monsters, profiles of the Jedi high council, inside Watto's junk shop, Queen Amidala's different dresses, and lots more. My favorite part is the battle droid section. You get to see inside a battle droid's head, discover how they unfold, and find out how many of them fit on a droid rack of an MTT. A must-have for Episode 1 fans.
Rating: Summary: Fun to read with family and friends Review: I think this is a great book for a kid of any age.It can answer all your guestions about jedis, even ones that haven't gone out on missions yet. It's definatley worth the money.
Rating: Summary: The enemy strikes back! Review: It's good because of the pictures. My favorite part is the Darth Maul section. I got the book for my 6th birthday.
Rating: Summary: If you love everything Star Wars... Review: it's HIGHLY recommended you buy this book. It is awesome--the photographs are awesome, the schematics are awesome, the constructed models are awesome, the information is awesome... you get the point. David West Reynolds does a wonderful job of conveying information to the reader, and at holding the reader's attention.
Rating: Summary: The BEST book for TPM yet! Review: Remember how we knew every single detail of the original trilogy? The Episode I Visual Dictionary bring us up to speed with the new movie The Phantom Menace. Answers a lot of questions we've had and brings up new question. Certainly a companion to wholeheartedly enjoying the movie. Most of the photos are very high quality. For the hardcore fan and most enquiring fans.
Rating: Summary: Better than original trilogy visual dictionaries Review: The book has more authentic items and devices than the original visual dictionarie's devices. Shows things like Yoda's lightsaber. E-mail me for questions about Star Wars.
