Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT!!!!!!!! Provides Many Details Not in the Movie!! Review: REVIEW IS ABOVE. In this space are just a few questions for you, George Lucas, assuming you read these reviews. One: In this book, are you saying that the Force controls destiny, and that it is literally all-powerful? Two: Obi-wan Kenobi says that the Force "binds the GALAXY together"; what about OUTSIDE the galaxy? Does the Force exist there? COULD it exist there, if a Jedi or something spread it there? Well, THANK YOU FOR LISTENING, MR. LUCAS. If possible, please respond to these questions through a "review by the author (you, in this case)".
Rating: Summary: Not what I expected, but good Review: Right after "Star Wars: A New Hope" came out as a film, I saw this book in a bookstore and, as I had enjoyed the film, I bought the book. My assumption was that, like most books connected with a movie, the book would go into greater detail and depth than did the movie. Well, as the saying goes, "Be careful when you assume." This movie was not based upon a book; this book was based upon the movie, and is the movie, almost word-for-word.
After my initial disappointment at realizing that the book would not give me any more detail than did the movie, I realized that this story, as is, is a pretty good story. I enjoyed reading it, and I think that I would have enjoyed the book, even if the movie had never existed.
For parents of children where the children A) like the movie and B) are reluctant to read, this book might be one those children would be willing to read. From there, who knows?
Rating: Summary: A high-quality collection of the Star Wars conceptual art Review: The book was exactly what I expected. High quality prints and photos of the original Star Wars concept art. Very well done. One of my most prized Star Wars collectors books. It recreates the entire feel of the vision of the Star Wars concept from the mind of Lucas and its producers.
Rating: Summary: The originals are the best. Review: The original Star Wars books are the most exciting Star Wars books I've ever read,and nothing could ever take their place. They have more spirit and action than any of the new books, and this one starts that wonderful trilogy.
Rating: Summary: Easily the finest Sci-Fi story ever written. Review: This book is not just read - it is experienced. It beckons you to a whole new galaxy, a used, familar used past - a futuristic one.The characters of the movies that became the first cinematic phenomana are calling to you. Join them and their crusade, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....
Rating: Summary: good! lots of behind the scenes stuff! Review: this book shows you the runner up costumes for the charachters.
the script is very detailed.
Rating: Summary: I Would Really give this book an 8.5 Review: This is a great book. If you want the other two Star Wars novels as well, get "The Star Wars Trilogy."
I love this book's prologue about the fall of the Republic and Senator Palpatine's rise-to-power.
Rating: Summary: Everything from the beginning... Review: This is a nice book for the addicted fans who are looking for more. Well, there is not much more than in the movie, but is nice to read the original script (expecially for those like me who are not from an anglophone country) and take a look at the pre-production sketches and to the matte paintings. I appreciated it very much, but if you aren't an addicted fans it's sufficient to search in the net to see the same pictures.
