5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book- now make one for Darth Vader, October 5, 2008

By	J. Hicks "James S. Hicks (AKA Karl Stern)" (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews

Wow! This is a nice book. To start with it is HUGE. It is nicely bound and about the size of a family Bible. It comes with a nice protective cardboard sleeve to store it in and the paper stock is very heavy. Production wise this is one of the nicest books in my vast collection.

The stories collected are:

* Luke Skywalker's Walkabout (colorized)
* Falling Star
* The Day after the Death Star
* The Return of Ben Kenobi
* Star Wars 17: Crucible (Marvel Series)
* Star Wars Empire: "General" Skywalker
* Star Wars Empire: The Wrong Side of the War
* Star Wars Rebellion: My Brother, My Enemy
* Star Wars 38: Riders in the Void (Marvel Series)
* Splinter of the Mind's Eye
* Star Wars 60: Shira's Story (Marvel Series)
* Star Wars 61: Screams in the Void (Marvel Series)
* Star Wars 62: Pariah (Marvel Series)
* Star Wars 63: The Mind Spider (Marvel Series)
* Star Wars 95: No Zeltrons (Marvel Series)
* Star Wars 96: Duel With a Dark Lady (Marvel Series)
* Star Wars 97: Escape (Marvel Series)
* Dark Empire (The entire first Dark Horse mini-series)
* The Boy I Once Was - Star Wars: Chewbacca 4

Now I beg Dark Horse to put together a Darth Vader collection. I can't rave enough about this fantastic book. A great value.

5.0 out of 5 stars Luke Skywalker: the story of a hero, May 14, 2009

Amazingly beautiful and huge book! What a collector's item and a true bargain. I love it and will always treasure it. Thanks so much for making it available and for sending it at great expense as it is so heavy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice addition to my bookcase, December 14, 2008

By	Swingweb2 (Carson City, NV) - See all my reviews

Fairly good collection of work for a character where much has already been written. Although I already have most of the stories included, it was nice to have it all in one volume. The book is huge and pretty heavy so it's not exactly something you can easily tote around and read on the go. The price was right and it was delivered timely and in perfect condition. Definitely a must-buy for the SW collector, particulary EU fanboys/girls of which I consider myself included.
