Yes, Santa gave in to our son. This is not normally a book I would buy for him, but he is a Star Wars fan. This also ties in to the "Deadliest Warrior" series he and his dad watch on TV. So, it's a great book for a boy like him, who loves the "Star Wars" series, is an accomplished martial arts student, and enjoys "Deadliest Warrior." It's a nice break from academics.

My boys are 4 and 6 and are obsessed with all things Star Wars. They haven't seen the movies yet and they are full of questions about the characters. This book is perfect to introduce them to the characters and their strengths and weaknesses. It has also been very helpful to me since my memory of the Star Wars movies is a bit hazy and they ask very specific questions. It rates each character's strengths in various categories and then you guess who you think will win the battle. Then you look in the back to find out the answer. It shows their ratings in graph form which translates perfectly to my kindergarteners math lessons. We read several of the matchups each night and they never get tired of them.

Great book. My son enjoyed reading it over and over again. If it makes him want to read it must be good!

This book doesn't tell some truth. Like Yoda VS. Darth Vader you know Yoda would win but guess who Darth Vader. But it is very intresting. I love it is awesome except for the not truthful parts.

I bought this for my 7 year old son for his birthday and he hasn't put it down since. I am surprised by how interested he is in things and how much all his friends love this book too. Very wise purchase.

[Based on my son's opinion: he is eight and a Star Wars expert.

This book shows you Star Wars characters -- good vs. evil -- in imaginary match-ups. These fights are fun to read about. This is a good book to give a kid who needs to make a long trip. It includes almost all the characters. This is the second best Star Wars book we have.]


Mom's opinion -- this keeps him totally engrossed for a LONG, LONG time. He loves it.

Each page is dedicated to a Star Wars character, ship, or vehicle, and gives them a rating stats in various categories; such as "speed", "strength", etc., and the reader then determines who they think would be declared the winner. I don't agree with the suggested age; I think it would appeal to those as young as six. It's a fun book for those that would like to imagine the outcome if characters such as Yoda and Darth Vader, and assorted other characters, were to ever duel.

This is for smaller kids to enjoy. Basically it takes characters from the Star Wars universe and debates on who would win in a fight. Example Jawas vs Ewoks then list the strengths and weakness of each. Entertaining but very small with one large picture of the characters on each page.
