Mara Jade: By the Emperor's Hand (Star Wars) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Jedi are awesome. There's pretty much no argument there. But some of us, even if we lived in Lucas' universe, would have a hard time putting away a good blaster even if we were Force-sensitive. Enter Mara. The neutrality of her character is so cool that readers keep flipping pages; she's not really bad,...

Star Wars: A Long Time Ago..., Book 4: Screams in the Void Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I started picking up the Star Wars comics halfway through its run -- right when this book takes off. Compared to the first issues in the series, the art is quite sophisticated and matches well with the imagery seen in the films. Characterizations are remarkably deep considering the plotters were barred...

Star Wars Episodes I, II & III Instrumental Solos Book & CD (Cello & Piano Acc.) Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This sheet music book contains Star Wars music scores, written in arrangements that are not too hard for advanced beginner students. The CD it comes with is great. My son has been listening to it non stop and although he has not mastered the music himself, he's becoming familiar with it every day. Great...

Warchild (Star Trek Deep Space Nine, No 7) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Warchild" is surprisingly good, not because of the author (Ms. Friesner is well known and I've always enjoyed her work in the past), but because of the subject matter. When I saw this book in the bookstore way back when it was originally published, I passed because it was dealing with the Bajorans,...

Using the Force: Creativity, Community and Star Wars Fans (Updated Edition) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Okay, we all know the stereotype - the nerd who is incapable of carrying on a conversation with the opposite sex, but is able to speak fluent Klingonese; the geek who can't shoot a basket to save his life, but who can personally reenact the final lightsaber duel from The Phantom Menace (complete with...

Star Trek Online: The Needs of the Many Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm a little disapointed with this one. I normally consume Trek books of any era, by any author with great delight. You don't even want to know how many copies of "How Much For Just The Planet" I have.I don't regret buying this one, but I regret not buying it at a used book store for less. One issue...

Star Wars - Infinities Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It's not easy to rewrite the star wars universe. Case in point: Imagine that you have to rewrite Return of the Jedi. You may change one event, one moemnt, then let your imagination flow. The possibilities for what may happen are almost endless.But the important thing is, no matter what you come up with,...

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back Photo Comic Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Wow! As a fan of the original photo novels from the 1970's (Star Trek/Battlestar Galactica), I love this format. The editors have done a great job picking the right scenes from the film, and that is a tough job. Empire is a great continuation of A New Hope! Jedi is just as good!Click Here to see more...

Star Wars: Underworld - The Yavin Vassilika Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Any of you know Meglias work, this is a mush have. Yes, the artwork is cartoony but very dynamic and animated. His style is unique, original, and the script goes well with the visuals. Anyone aware of his other works like Luuna, Superman Tarzan, Canari, etc... definitely shouldn't miss this one. Hardcore...

Star Wars Galaxy Tiles: A Star Wars Supplement (Star Wars Accessory) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The item description says this item contains six double sided terrain tiles, but that's not quite true. It does contain six double sided sheets, but four of them break out into multiple (between 5 and 13) smaller double sided tiles. All in all there are 38 double-sided tilesin this set (for a grand total...

Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (Dark Horse Collection) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Although there are a few very trivial flaws in "Heir to the Empire" they are easily overlooked and do not take away from any of the enjoyment contained within. I can say with all honesty and not a little relief that Timothy Zahn did a far better job than any of the low-brow attempts at a worthwhile novel...

Star Wars Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace Movie Storybook Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First off, I thought the flick was pretty good, though a little too slow in the middle. It needed more action, more depth, less clumsy dialogue, and less kiddie stuff. We all know that now. Okay. With that in mind, the screenplay is great in some parts, and groan out loud bad in others. If you're one...

Anakin's Quest (Star Wars: Junior Jedi Knights, Book 4) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Thousands of children's books are published every year, and it's hard to catch kids' attention. One thing that never fails to stand out, however, is the familiar "Star Wars" logo on a book cover. "Anakin's Quest," the fourth book in the popular Junior Jedi Knights series, is a wonderful tool for encouraging...
