5.0 out of 5 stars eye candy from season two November 17, 2010

By The Delite Rancher VINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover

"New Battlefronts: The Visual Guide" is a stunning addition to the pantheon of Star Wars literature. It is a visual companion to season two of the CGI imagined "Clone Wars." The book more or less chronologically follows the season. As with its season one predecessor, it starts and finishes with poetry set to iconoclastic imagery that plays off World War II style propaganda: "I remember a time . . . when Jedi were not . . . generals but peacekeepers." The book is a tour of the season's characters and situations. There's a spread on just about everybody including Senator Rush Clovis, Poggle the Lesser, the deserter Cut Lawquane, Dutchess Satine, Senator Bail Organa, the pirate Hondo Ohnaka and Aurra Sing. As with the show, the Mandalorian material is especially interesting. Each two page spread is a visually spectacular balance of on-screen summary combined with additional factoids. All in all, it is 128 oversized (11.2 x 11.2) pages of visual candy. For the padawan reader, "New Battlefronts" is a satisfying summary of the second season of Clone Wars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Must Have February 1, 2011

My two children, age 9 and 6, put this at the top of their Christmas list after seeing this at Barnes & Noble. It was $7.00 less on Amazon, and I got free shipping. They haven't seen the Star Wars movies but they have seen the Clone Wars TV series (on DVD). They said this was the entire second season in book form. Since we don't own the DVDs I think they wanted this so they could relive the thrilling moments from the series. They happily read this Christmas morning and refer to often to set up their next Star Wars Lego battle.
