Incredible Cross-Sections (Star Wars)

Rating:
Summary: Incredible is right
Review: All of the Star Wars visual dictionaries and icredible cross sections are so detailed and easily read, but this one has got to be the best. Check out the classic Incom T-65 X-Wing's S-Foils, find the Imperial AT-AT's weakness and see the amazing class .5 hyerdrive of the legendary Millenium Falcon, and get a little history behind each ship. I love these books!

Summary: The Force Is Strong In This One...
Review: Big pictures with very fine details.

The Millenium Falcon, The Death Star, Star Destroyers etc... All are represented with some surprising details that are not represented in the Trilogy. Only one gripe is that this book covers all three Movies so a few popular items are missed (Death Star 2 etc).

Summary: The Star Wars Universe has gotten bigger...and better!
Review: I'm a big fan of the Incredible cross-sections books. I've read through all of the other cross-sections books for Star Wars, and when the edition for Attack Of The Clones came out I had to read it. Not only did it live up to my expectations, but it surpassed them. It is richly illustrated and has great information on most of the new vehicles from the Trade Federation Core Ship to the Republic Assault Ship to the revamped Slave 1. I highly recommend this book to those who love Star Wars. And even if you are a huge fan of the films it still makes for some good reading.

Summary: to "a reader from California"
Review: it does not include data on all ships from the trilogy, including: sentiniel-class landing craft, the a- and b-wings, the lambda-class shuttle, the tie bomber, and the mon calamari star crusier, fyi! i guess u havent seen a new hope, the empire strikes back,or return of the jedi.

Summary: Very Detailed UnlessReallyinto Vehicles May Prefer Dictionar
Review: Unless You are really, really obsessed with the star wars ships and other vehicles you are probably better off to purchase the visual directory by the same author. The directory has more pages and is more interesting as it looks at all the characters, creatures, weapons and everything else as well as the ships although the ships and vehicles are not in as much detail as the ones in this book.

The detail in this book is very extensive, so if you are fascinated by Star Wars vehicles then this is definitely the book for you. If you wanted a broader picture of the whole Star Wars world then get the dictionary instead. If your a huge Star Wars fan then you'll probably want both.

Summary: One of the best Star Wars book, but...
Review: When I put "but"is due to the fact other reviewers have noticed: there are some ships are not displayed in this book, and mainly the Mon-Calamary cruiser, the Lambda Shuttle, the TIE Bomber and others.

But considering this book encompasses three movies, its is one that all Star Wars fan must have.

Summary: A Dream for Technophiles!
Review: Where do I start? This book is amazing! I am a full fledged Star Wars fan, but since I don't own Fort Knox, I can't afford to buy all of the merchandise. As a result I have to be extremely picky about which items I purchase. I had only to see the Millennium Falcon drawing on the cover, and I was hooked!

I have read The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, but I found the information contradictory to previously published material, and a bit amateurish. Incredible Cross Sections does such a well-thought-out job, and is worded so well, that you almost forget these things don't exist! The gate-fold spread of the Death Star is absolutely incredible! The detail is also carefully executed, right down to the gold-foil insulation on the air ducts in the Millennium Falcon. Everything a Star Wars Technophile could want is in this book. I highly recommend buying the companion book as well: The Star Wars Visual Dictionary.

All I can say is, More! I would love to see another edition of this book containing some of the other vehicles.

Highly Recommended!

Summary: A smile twelve parsecs wide
Review: While the new prequel trilogy shows us the most sleek, sophisticated, and mind-boggling ships in the Star Wars universe, the ships of the original trilogy are like cars from the 1950s...they'll always remain loved. Sure the Millennium Falcon doesn't look as dignified as Episode 1's Republic Cruiser or as stylish as Padme's yacht in Episode 2, but you don't exactly get a regular chance to see the insides of the Death Star, do you? Although there are probably a few people out there that like this book because the Empire's hardware is disected, I enjoyed this because of the more personalized craft such as the Millennium Falcon, the original Slave 1, and Jabba the Hutt's sail barge, as well as more industrialized vehicles like the Jawa Sandcrawler. I'm just one man, but it gives me a smile twelve parsecs wide to go through this book and think "Now if I owned this ship..." Han Solo always bragged about how much he modified his ship. Well, now you can check out just how screwed up the Millennium Falcon really is! Or if you ever wondered how Jabba the Hutt managed to get his greasy butt onto his sail barge then you'll want to at least glance through this book.
