highly recommended

Great photos and descriptions

My Star Wars fans love this book - it has such great photos of the characters and descriptions. Most descriptioms are quick summaries but each page has treat and diagrams and photos to engage the star wars fans as well as those who don't know anything about it. Finally I know who Plo Koon is...

keeps my boys fascinated

My two boys, ages 8 and 10, adore this book and spend hours studying it and discussing it. Beautiful pictures and informative text.

Comprehensive look at the Star Wars Movie Universe

This is one of the best books written on Star Wars. It covers a very high level of detail concerning the two triologies, presented in the order of movie chronology. Episodes I-III are presented in separate sections, while Episodes IV-VI are combined into one larger section.
This book is mostly a rundown of characters. Major characters are offered two pages and/or cutout sections, while more minor characters are given very decent amounts of page space. Besides characters, you learn a great deal about every single weapon and ship used in the six movies, as well as costumes, other equipment, planets visited and more. I never knew such high level of deatil existed on the character backgrounds and weapons, let alone having been studied. It is amazing to know the exact equipment set of each storm trooper, clone trooper, Jedi, as well as R2-D2, vulture droids, you name it, and you will find it.
I have never been a huge fan of the expanded Star Wars universe, so I very much appreciate the decision of the authors to concentrate on the canon movie trilogies. You see some tidibts as part of the elaboration of character backgrounds that contain information from expanded universe (for example, Boba Fett having survived the Sarlacc pit), but this is never over-done, and there appears to be a principle to keep most everything within the canon universe. It is chock-full of information and therefore takes a while to finish, but it is a great read, with fun information and very high-resolution photos. Highly recommended and addictive!

Big hit

My son has been an avid lego fan for years now mainly enjoying just building the lego star wars kits in his age range and doing free style stuff. Now that he is 8 I expected he would like the 8-xxx age range kits the most for a gift, however, this book was the biggest hit which was totally unexpected for me.

I can't really say enough good things about it. It's helpful for me (the parent) to narrow down what he is talking about. More specifically, what figures, ships, planes, buildings whatever which makes communicating and writing about it much easier for me and to give advice instruction.

The pictures, names, references and the inclusion of the rare Luke figure is what impressed him most. He likes looking at the people who make the figures and has been carrying it around with him daily back and forth to school since receiving it.
