review 1: The first problem with this book is that it mostly consists of small photographs with minimal captions beneath, reminding me of something I would find on a fanboy's personal blog rather than a hard-bound coffee table book. The second problem is that much of yearly Star Wars news collection often deals with things having nothing to do with George Lucas' saga, for the sake of filling pages. For example, May 1996 lists the release of "Dragonheart" as "news" only because Industrial Lights and Magic, (the special effects studio behind the famed saga) was involved in the film's effects. However, as much as I was disappointed, there were quite a few pages that brought back fond memories; these include the mayhem and "Midnight Madness" of 1999 during the pre-release of Phantom Men... moreace, in which fanboys stormed Wal Mart and other retail stores for the dialogue encoded chip'ed Hasbro action figures. (Boy I miss those 24 limited edition Episode I Pepsi cans.)
review 2: If you are a fan of star wars eager to know more then this book is perfect for you. It has every aspect of the details that went through the mind of george lucas and even a breif history of his life before star wars. it tells you how people are casted and the original name of the movie and all the great star wars facts. Its basically broken down into before star wars, the first trilogy,between the trilogies, the second trilogy and after the movies including the cartoon on. the biggest down fall of the book is that it is giant. it has to be at least 10 pounds. less
