Summary: Amazing! At LEAST the equal of McQuarrie.
Review: Chiang's work is simply superb. Lucas was lucky to find this guy - he more than holds his own when compared to McQuarrie and Johnston. I'd love to see an animated film done in Chiang's style - I would actually prefer it to the computer-generated "photorealism" that Hollywood is so into these days. In any case, I highly recommend this collection of lithographs.

Summary: Best Artwork of Star Wars Available
Review: I got this over a year ago and found the artwork stunning. Thinking of printing with your own printer? Chances are that even if you can find some Star Wars artwork on the Internet, the printouts won't last. For example, using color ink-jets and even on special paper... after one year, the color degrades... Today, after a year, the illustrations still look that way and there is no fading of colors at all. This is truly a collectable. This one is worth keeping if you love Star Wars artwork and the pricing at Amazon is simply a "steal".

Summary: Star Wars Episode I the Phantom Menace : 20 Lithographic
Review: I just got a great deal on this Portfolio today. I had never seen it before, in stores or even online. But I saw it at a store at a very low price so I picked it up. The packaging was great! It was in a beautiful chrome box. I wasn't disappointed at the contents either. Inside are the twenty prints most of them are of Naboo and the Gungon's in particular. There was only one print of Darth Maul, which was a bit disappointing, but the art work is great. Although I had seen some of these pintings in the Art of Star Wars Episode I book, it was great to see them as larger prints. The size of the prints is "About" 24 inches wide by 12 inches tall give or take an inch, or two. If you are a Star Wars Fan and appreciate the art, design and imagination that went into the Star Wars movies pick this up.

Summary: WOW.. This is really worth the price. A great collectible!
Review: I really was not sure what this was all about but I ama big fan of Star Wars and also deeply involved with the arts. Not the art of Star Wars but I do a lot of illustrative work as well as graphic design and well its always nice to see a little glimpse back into the design phase. Pretty much where all the story begins. This piece offers you a quick glimpse thru nice drawings of what the movie was trying to capture. And well the tin the drawings come in is impressive... I was very satisfied. For the price at Amazon it is a good buy...

Summary: Excellent presentation, content slightly disappointing
Review: I was looking forward to this collection of production art more than any other piece of Star Wars paraphernalia accompanying the new film. I have been collecting the production art produced by Ralph McQuarrie for the first three films since 1977, and have come to appreciate a certain degree of romance conveyed in the images. In this case, I found that generally the artwork was strangely lifeless. Watching the film, I found the queen, her ship, and young Mr. Maul to be the most striking and evocactive images in the film, however, the production art seems to focus more heavily on the Gungan design and environments. I was particularly expecting to see a known Chiang painting of the Queen's Starship on Tatooine. I found the contrast of the highly polished ship against the sand artistically evocative. This image was not included in this collection. Having said that, I enjoyed the Coruscant print very much, and it is matted and framed above my computer as I type this. The box, too, is an excellent stroke of design genius, incorporating the Flash Gordon-esque spirit of the Queen's Starship. Although I am glad I bought this set, I felt it was important to those considering a purchase to illustrate that it is not as fulfilling as, say, the original Star Wars portfolio. I hope this is helpful.
