WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD LIFE-FORMS

Now, take the ultimate test that separates the Jedi from the jetsam!

ATTENTION APPLICANTS:
By taking this exam you are expressing your genuine desire to join the proud ranks of the Galactic Alliance Diplomatic Corps. You are to be congratulated for your ambition and discrimination in seeking such a lofty professional goal. However--it is imperative that you also be cautioned: Your chosen vocation is a challenging one, and accordingly, this test of your qualifications will be equally challenging. But don't be intimidated--be empowered. For only the confident few will succeed.  

ATTENTION STAR WARS FANS:
So, do you think you're a "Force" to be reckoned with, now that the Star Wars® Trilogy Special Edition is back in movie theaters?! Then get ready for the toughest test since Yoda put Luke Skywalker through his paces on Dagobah. Remember, not just anybody (or anything) can join the Galactic Alliance Diplomatic Corps. You've got to know your Fetts from your Hutts, your clearance codes from your Rebel ranks, your X-wings from your TIE fighters--and that's just the easy stuff.

If you think you know your Star Wars® facts and figures flawlessly, flip over your exam book, open the cover, and begin. But remember--do or do not. There is no try.

This review is from: Star Wars: Diplomatic Corps Entrance Exam (Paperback)

When I bought this book i expected another dull, dry trivia test that assumed i knew nothing more than the contents of episode IV-VI- was i ever wrong. This difficult trivia coolection draws upon the book series as well as the comics. Parts of the testask you to identify spots on a map of tatooine or label the parts of an astromech droid. Take this challenge if you dare.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rip-Off Alert, June 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Wars: Diplomatic Corps Entrance Exam (Paperback)

This looks like a kid's book, but is marketed as adult level. Twelve dollars for what? I'm still scratching my head. Lucas didn't make enough money on the special editions at the box office, so he ran out and threw this 100 page no-brainer together and is charging an arm and a leg. Don't waste you money like I did

1.0 out of 5 stars A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT, June 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Wars: Diplomatic Corps Entrance Exam (Paperback)

What a major disappointment and, more importantly, a RIP-OFF!!!There are only 3-4 questions a page and they end on page 80 and the answer legend begins, so essentially you are getting an 80 page book for $12. Shame on Lucas for allowing this one to go out as an "official" STAR WARS book, shame on Del Rey for publishing it, and shame on me for shelling out $12 for this unadulterated humbug. If you really want to play STAR WARS trivia and get more bang for your bucks...go buy THE ULTIMATE UNAUTHORIZED STAR WARS TRILOGY TRIVIA CHALLENGE at 300+ pages, smaller print and $14. Now that one is fun, fun, fun!!!
