Star Wars Complete Cross-Sections: The Spacecraft and Vehicles of the Entire Star Wars Saga Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have loved these cross-section books since even before these came out (seen a cool Star Trek OS cutout of the Enterprise). What you are getting with this volume is every entry in the previous four cross-section books as well as some extras. That's right. Even if you have all four original books you...

Star Wars, Classic (Ultimate Sticker Books) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When I first looked at the title/price of this book, I thought it was overpriced for a sticker book. But then I actually leafed through it and saw it was so much more. This isn't your typical coloring book where you add a few stickers. This is like a real book where you get to add the photos. My son...

Bloodlines (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 2) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This second installment in the new 9-volume Legacy of the Force series proves one thing - even a good writer can't make up for a silly plot. Legacy started poorly in the first volume with a premise for which there is no evidence, namely that the Galactic Alliance (GA) is now more like the old Empire...

Vector Prime (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)[...] I've read all the Star Wars novels also, and I liked most of them, didn't like some, and some I thought were fantastic. Tim Zahn, for instance has 5 brilliant novels. This novel is great too. [...] Aren't you tired of the Empire making ANOTHER comeback? Aren't you tired of the Jedi kids getting...

The Star Wars Trilogy, Episodes IV, V & VI Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The 25th Anniversary edition of The Star Wars Trilogy breaks no new ground or make any editorial changes to the three movie tie-in novels based on the screenplays for Star Wars (now known as A New Hope), The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. There are no adjustments or rewrites to make the...

Backlash (Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi, Book 4) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This being the fourth book in the Fate of the Jedi series, I don't have much to add to my thoughts on the series. The main plots are here, Jedis going crazy, political power struggles between the Remnant Empire, the Galactic Alliance, and the Jedi, and Luke and Ben adventuring together. Thankfully, the...

Invincible (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 9) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What strikes you most about this final volume of the Legacy of the Force is how little there is to it. Weighing in at a slight 299 pages, Invincible consists largely of two long duels between Jaina and Jacen, interspersed with a pair of subplots involving Ben. The epilogue attempts to tie things up with...

Star Wars: Death Troopers Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've read a fair share of Star Wars books, but never anything this gory or downright scary. Star Wars is usually pretty tame. So I was surprised to find this book whose cover is comprised of a bloody Stormtrooper head hanging from a chain with a hook jammed through its eye. I like old-school Star Wars,...

Star Wars and Philosophy (Popular Culture and Philosophy) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Popular Culture and Philosophy Series can be hit or miss as it tries to wrap in familiar characters or stories in the teaching of philosophers throughout the ages. This volume stands as one of the best produced so far. The Star Wars films have always held some deeper meanings than what appear on...

Path of Destruction (Star Wars: Darth Bane, Book 1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you want to read 2 star wars books this year you should "Rise of the Dark Lord" about Vader and this one.

The Art of Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Fantastic, beautiful book. Full of gorgeous artwork and pictures. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because for some inexplicable reason, the script is NOT included in the US version. However, the complete illustrated script IS included in the UK version, which I bought from Amazon.co.uk....

Dark Tide I: Onslaught (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 2) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I gave this book 4 stars because I reserve 5 stars for really groundbreaking books with outstanding plots. In the Star Wars Universe, I have given 5 stars only to I Jedi (also by Stackpole), Vision of the Future, and the uproariously funny Star Fighters of Adumar. Onslaught isn't quite in that category....

Anakin in Action (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The DK early reading program is exceptional. Licensing popular franchises for different levels. Anakin is rated 2, while the companion book, Watch out For Jabba the Hut is level 1. For those who have seen the Clone Wars, this is a good way to explain the story to young viewers. With art taken from the...
