Book Description

May 12, 2010 A Scanimation Book
Imagine: the first Star Wars book that actually moves, bringing to life the most memorable scenes from the epic: Obi-Wan battles Darth Maul The Millennium Falcon zooms away from an exploding Death Star Luke rides a galloping Tauntaun, Yoda twirls his green lightsaber, Boba Fett blasts up, up and away! And of course the most memorable scene of all—red and blue lightsabers flashing, Luke and Darth Vader fight the ultimate battle between good and evil.

It’s a marriage made in a galaxy far, far away: phenomenal Scanimation meets Star Wars, the enduring epic that’s sold $42 billion in ticket sales and earned the title #1 Boys Action Toy License of all time. Created by Rufus Butler Seder, Star Wars: A Scanimation Book presents 12 of the most memorable scenes, in a landscape, i.e., movie format. It’s an homage from an artist obsessed with the earliest forms of capturing visual motion to an artist obsessed with the most advanced. But that’s not what young fans will care about—this is having pure movie magic in the palm of your hand, to replay again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing July 17, 2010
Format:Hardcover
I've always been intrigued and impressed by the Scanimation line of animated picture books. Their lo-fi eye candy is especially compelling in todays increasingly digital world. As soon as I saw the Star Wars edition today, I bought it on the spot at a local bookstore. After I signed my slip I realized I was so blown away by the product I forgot to check the price before I bought it.

Like all Scanimation books, the pictures are small in scope but big on animation. the animation is provided by alternating bands of tint, a very cool effect. Even the presence of several (3 or 4) scenes from the most recent three movies did not detract significantly from my enjoyment.

An excellent book for any fan of any of the three movies, or pop-up/childrens book collectors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great animation book! July 5, 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
My only complaint is that some of the pictures are very dark and hard to see. That said, my son (35 years) and my grandson (3 years) absolutely love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars How cool is this! July 13, 2010
By DJD
Format:Hardcover
I saw this at B&N and had to get it for my star wars loving daughter (5). She absolutely loves it and loves reading the quotes too. I think it is pretty darn cool myself! I agree with the other review that the images are a little dark but I still think it's a great book and will be buying another for my best friend's son for his birthday. Oh, and buy it from Amazon, they sell it for $5 less than B&N. I had a gift card though and had to use it!
