Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Patricia Wrede may even have outdone her previous jaunt into the Star Wars universe, the junior novelization for "Phantom Menace." Her novelization for "Attack of the Clones" is exciting, romantic, funny, dramatic, and everything we expect from Star Wars. Doubtlessly the movie will be equally good, if...

Star Trek: Enterprise: The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor's Wing Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Overall, very well done:The pros:- Excellent job continuing to bridge the gap between Enterprise and TOS. Enterprise was in a tricky place as a prequel in a strongly established universe, and this book continues to work to bridge the gaps left behind after the early cancellation of the series. It is...

Starfighters of Adumar (Star Wars: X-Wing #9) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Mr. Alston has done it again with his newest addition to the x-wing series. He has made me laugh. Stackpole, who really is the master of the x-wing books (but let's not get into that) hasn't really made me laugh. Alston has. At first, I hated this book. I actually bought it four or five months ago, but...

Death Star (Star Wars) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)For the thirty years of Star Wars so far, the Death Star has stood as one of the single most iconic elements of the entire story. It burst upon screens in 1977 early in Star Wars, as an rapid camera cut leapt away from Tatooine to this gigantic menacing space station. We knew it was recently completed...
Star Wars Omnibus: A Long Time Ago... Vol. 3 Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)STAR WARS OMNIBUS: A LONG TIME AGO... VOLUME 3 collects issues 50 - 67 and Annual #2 of Marvel Comics' classic Star Wars title.

The Unifying Force (Star Wars: The New Jedi Order, Book 19) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It is very hard to review this book on it's own as it is the wrap up to the ambitious New Jedi Order Series. I'll try to comment on both of them in their appropriate place. There are some problems with this book, I felt it was too long for one and the first 300 pages dragged. I'm reviewing it now and...

Star Wars Omnibus: X-Wing Rogue Squadron, Vol. 2 Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Star Wars Omnibus: X-wing Rogue Squadron Volume Two compiles several multi-issue arcs of the Dark Horse comic book saga in one handy volume. The premise of the omnibus books is to give Dark Horse a way to present novel-length stories in a single collection and also to provide a home for single issues...
Legacy Era Campaign Guide (Star Wars Roleplaying Game) Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)For fans of both Star Wars: Legacy and the role-playing game, this campaign guide is a great resource. With plenty of new material beyond the comics, it also serves as a good resource for the era itself. My only disappointments are minor: Bantha Rawk's build seems inappropriate considering his back story...

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Volume 3: Days of Fear, Nights of Anger Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This third volume of John Jackson Miller's KOTOR is not quite as satisfying as the first two. The humor's still there, as is a bit of well-scripted pathos, but the second half of the book becomes wordy, the conceptual work is a bit campy, and the story remains incomplete. If you're buying this volume...
Star Wars Omnibus: Tales of the Jedi, Vol. 1 Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Of the many Star Wars comics issued by Dark Horse, the Tales of the Jedi line was far and away my favorite. The series' setting (5000 years before A New Hope) let authors Kevin J. Anderson and Tom Veitch really go wild in creating the early tales of the Jedi Knights and their Sith adversaries, and resulted...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)...from The Truce at Bakura (the fairly tame EU novel by Kathy Tyers) to the X-wing novels (written by Michael Stackpole and Aaron Allston).In it, we can see the formation of the the infamous Rogues as a mix of both Classic Trilogy, Novel, and Comic characters all with their various back-stories (some...
The Art of Star Wars, Episode II - Attack of the Clones Review
Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)As excited as I was about getting this book, I ended up being a bit disappointed in it. I'd recently purchased the "Art of Episode I", and, based on the reviews posted here, I was expecting more of the same. Unfortunately, that didn't quite happen. Most of the artwork in this Episode II book is final...
