I never have been, (into comics, that is) but this caught my eye one day at the last minute in the bookstore, so I picked it up just...

The Shadow Academy (Star Wars: Young Jedi Knights, Book 2) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am not a big hater of Mr. Anderson like a lot of people are. These were written to a younger audience and he achieved it. They are still interesting and these stories play a big part in the following books. I would recommend this book to Star Wars fans young and old. I'm sorry I waited to read these...

Star Wars Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Arguably, the most significant impact of Star Wars on popular culture was the merchandising of the movie into toys and collectibles with product far outgrossing the record levels the saga achieved in box office sales. Movie merchandise, and toys in particular, with long development times and short public...

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (4 Different Cover Set) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The storyline is ok, clearly lifted from the film and pressed into service by Brooks' adequate talent. Some insights into character development (completely unaddressed by the film), but I do have to give a single star to the totally unnecessary 4-different cover gimmick. Perhaps soon we'll have chapters...
