These Photo comics are great. They are the truest form of story telling in this format and for these epic movies, I wish they had doubled or even tripled the size to add more images, not necessarily to make the book bigger, but to make it thicker.

A must for any Star Wars fan!

The book is great but the pictures don't look so good and they sometimes put in pictures in the wrong places that don't even go accordingly as the movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book - some plot elements and colours a bit off, April 15, 2011

Got this book for my daughter, who loves seeing pictures from the movies she loves.

However, I found the colours really off on some pages -- hues were either too green or blue: i'm guessing some of the background colour washes were unfavourably tinting the colour of the photos in the foreground... This seems to be the case with all of the Photo Comic books from this publisher.

Also, the storyline and script were slightly adjusted for the sake of keeping things within X number of pages. Not a big deal, but a couple of plot events were actually wrong or were put in the wrong place - especially in the photo comic book for Episode III (e.g. Yoda doesn't get hit with force lightning while battling the Emperor in the Senate's parliament building, but only in the Emperor's private chamber, etc. etc.).

In any case, this all about saturating Star Wars fans with more good memoribilia, so on that front, it was great.
