As I already own a lot of Star Wars books it now takes something pretty special to entice me to purchase something new - most SW-related topics have been exhaustively covered & even though I never thought I'd say it - I'm pretty much "all-Star-Wars'ed-out". That said, this "ultimate" edition looked a pretty neat addition to my collection and at around £10 looked good-value-for-money. What with it also being a DK release ,you always know you will get a quality product. Whether it be a travel book, film/tv tie-in or kids book - they're a quality publisher.
This particular book is a total study of EVERYTHING Star Wars, from the history of the universe, the events featured in the 6 films, the expanded universe (books, comics, games, etc) behind-the-scenes stuff & also pages dedictaed to the fans, the toys, it's success, etc. I'd find it hard to lay out the sheer volume of info contained in this book but Ryder Windham does so extremely well. It's beautifully laid out, full of great pictures, sketches & photo's and the accompanying text will be of interest whether you're a young fan or die-hard geek.
I wasn't sure whether to award the book 4 or 5 Stars simply because it's a topic that's so dear to my heart but eventually decided that you simply couldn't cram more into 160 pages for a RRP £15 & gave it top marks. Great purchase for any young fan or to simply add to the collection.

Although I am not a Star Wars fan (wrong I know) my brother certainly is. I bought this as a birthday gift for him and must admit i could not help a sneaky look before i wrapped it up.... 1 hour later i was still looking at it and totally engrossed. As a result I have now watched a few films and can easily relate to this book, which has so much more information packed into it. My brother loves it and now thinks I am the best thing since 'sliced bread' for buying it for him. So if you haven't got a copy; get one as you will not be disappointed in the slightest. Sian x
