Amazon.co.uk Review
Star Wars Attack Of The Clones: Incredible Cross-Sections gives would-be Jedis an insight into the inner workings of the spacecraft and vehicles featured in the latest instalment in the Star Wars saga, Attack Of the Clones. The artists involved in the production of this book based their work on original blueprints, scale drawings and computer animatics used in the film. The result is a highly detailed and authentic visual rendering of the vessels' technical secrets. The author, Dr Curtis Saxton is a theoretical astrophysicist, and has provided an accompanying commentary and notes for each illustration, including details of the background history of each craft.

The centre pages open out into a gatefold illustrating the Republican Gunship in its entirety. Other spacecraft featured include Obi-Wan Kenobi's Starfighter and Anakin Skywalker's Hotrod Speeder. It also includes smaller modes of transport such as bounty hunter vehicles and speeder bikes. This is an authoritative work and an indispensable reference for any Star Wars fanatic. Suitable for ages 10 and upwards. --Alison Drury

Customer Reviews

Great In depth view of Episode 2 Craft
This book really gets into the new craft of Attack of he Clones, from Padme's Starship Yacht to the Republic Gunship. This is the comprehensive guide to vehicles of Episode 2. If you really like detailed stuff on Star Wars craft get this book.

Impressive but difficult to relate to
A lot of work has gone into this, not only in doing the detailed drawings, but also in the technical information on how engine and weapons systems work. Despite this, the book feels a little too technical - one of the joys in the other similar books is following where the characters go as they move around a ship but the majority in here are one man craft or huge ones. They are interesting but difficult to relate to.
