THE STORY:
Well, some of it is simply artwork by the team that helped design Episode III, but a lot of the book is non-continuity or psuedo-continuity comic strips. A few of them are: 'Old Wounds', a classic what-if sort of story in which Darth Maul (having survived Episode I, and with new droid legs) tracks Obi-Wan down on Tatooine three years after 'Revenge of the Sith'; 'Entrenched', a story from the Battle of Hoth; 'Prototypes', which reveals the origins of the Clone Wars character Durge and his run-in with the Mandalorians; 'Deep Forest', the story of how the Wookiees enter the Clone Wars; and 'The Eyes Of Revolution', the backstory of Ep III's new villain General Grievous.

WHAT'S GOOD:
As can be expected, the artwork is mostly exceptional, particularly the truly sinister depiction of Sidious/Palpatine in 'Sithisis'. The stories mentioned above are all excellent for various reasons. 'Old Wounds' is brilliantly dynamic, for instance, whilst 'Entrenched' is wonderfully detailed. The single pieces of artwork interspaced between the stories are all great images, be they the catsuit-wearing beauties of the Imperial recruitment posters or the atmospheric 'Mygeeto Burns'.
WHAT'S BAD:
The Wat Tambor story is simply an exercise in psychadelic gibberish and lowers the quality of the entire book, in my opinion. Also, 'The Artist of Naboo', whilst having great artwork, left me completely bewildered as to what happened and what was the point. Finally, the fact that the stories in this book aren't necesarily in-continuity with the rest of the Star Wars saga may put some fans off.
Format:Paperback
with artwork and stories by the concept guys from episode 1, 2 and 3 this book is filled with better storylines, artwork and characters than the films...
even the weaker stories within this are superb, I recommend it to anyone that was disheartened by the new films...
Within in it: Sith, Hoth, Landscapes, Grevious (in a way the films should have done) and much much more...
Worth a read a look and generally very enjoyable!

I love this work. There are numerous different short stories, all by different writers/artists. With one or two exceptions, they are all beautifully drawn and good stories. Each is drawn in a completely different style, so there is bound to be at something you don't like, but on the flip side, you will probably love most of them. Another reviewer hated The Artist of Naboo story, but I thought it was exceptional. There is a story there if you piece it together, and the style of the art is the deepest and moodiest of all the stories. My personal favourite, the title of which I forget, comes in the middle and deals with Mon Mothma's son on Hoth. I absolutely LOVE the style of this art, it feels extremely fresh and is the best I've ever seen Hoth drawn.
