Customer Reviews

An Excellent Publication
This book is everything you could hope for in a Star Wars publication. The artwork (it really is ART) through out is beautiful and inspiring. If after you have read/looked through this book and its accompanying script and you dont want to see the film I would be very surprised.

It also gives you an insight into the creative minds behind the Star Wars universe with informative and yet short (leaving room for more art!) pieces on the art within. Key quotes litter the pages and build your anticipation to may 16th.

The script at the back of the book (to be honest I would have preferred a separate book like with Ep 1) is set out well, just one niggle its doesn't have much in the way of art to help tell the tale as you read it. Of course this isn't really a problem as the art is set out in the order in which it is shown in the film and therefore tells the story in a amazingly graphical way.

Its very difficult to find any real faults with this publication, its actual quality (of publishing) is outstanding and seams that it will last several years. I think the cliche line of "a must buy for any Star Wars fans" is in order as it truly is.

This is truly ART, in the best sense of the word.

Not a starwars fan but loved this book.
I have had to sit thru star wars more times that I care to remember, I bought this book for my son, but I have to admit that it now resides in my bookcase. The drawings are stunning, its a book I pick up again and again. The screen play at the back is very funny if you try to act out the parts, how hammy the lines were.
