These Visual Dictionaries are truly a wonderful item for any Star Wars fan. They make a great companion to the movie as well as to the other books on the market. This one details thirty plus Star Wars characters including Mace Windu, General Grevious, the Emperor and more as well as creatures, droids, weaponry and more. It's lavishly filled with outstanding pictures from the movie as well as various diagrams detailing everything you want to know about Episode III. Each listing gives unique insight into these characters including their abilities and weapons. You'll find out a lot of stuff that you don't find out in the film itself. A must have item. My only complaint is that I wish that it would have been a little bit longer.

This is book is great! It explores all the aspects of Episode III from the planets visited to General Grievous' past. Any questions you have regarding the movie (whether you've seen it or not) are explained, like the droids' memory wipe to the names of Padmé's handmaidens. Make note though, SPOILERS are on every page. This was the first book pertaining to Episode III that I bought because I have been impressed by all the other Visual Dictionaries. This one lives up to the rest!

This is an incredible book detailing all of the characters, ships and weapons of Star Wars III. Very detailed in weapons, machinery and star ships. Tells what you need to know about the movie without giving it away totally. Tells alot of interesting facts about Wookies that I never knew. Tells more about the clone wars and explains in detail all of the different clone troopers. Fantastic read, buy it today!

As a fan and someone who loves the props and weapons of Star Wars, this is a fun book. Star Wars the movie is a visual marvel and this book captures close up images of all your favorite characters and machines. The price is right so this book is a must have for any serious fan.

My son cannot get enough of Star Wars. It is amazing to see him pick up so much information from the DK Books. We have collected all in this series. My son has read these over and over again. What makes it great is all the little facts that are next to the pictures. So much social and science information comes from Star Wars and these books. Thanks DK Publishing!

This book was great because it tells all about the characters, weapons, and ships of Star Wars! You don't have to read it straight through, either. And if you can't read, but like Star Wars, you can just look at the pictures - It has a ton of them!

My five-year-old son is a lover of all things Star Wars, but is too young to see Episode III. Instead, we read through the dictionary and he has become quite the little expert. It has helped me to keep all the characters straight, as well.

Of all the Star Wars visual dictionaries I will have to say this one is the least, but that still means it's pretty good. It's just the amount of information isn't as much as I expected. The other VD books (that's Visual Dictionary to you) had much more technical information. This book is more about building exposition on the movie by giving you some background here and there. That's not a bad thing at all. It's just that it's not as much background as expected.

I guess I am too demanding. When I see an entry for Darth Vader I want some meaty info on him. This book barely scratches the surface. The same goes for lots of other entries. It's almost as if they are too afraid to tell you more, risking it might spoil the movie. But they give enough spoilers anyway that would constitute at least giving a little more.

I will admit you do find some interesting trivia on the sides of the main entries like the names of the Separatist leaders and a brief description of their cartels. Also I will admit the Chewbacca entry was filled with interesting history on the character. I wished they would have put more thought on the others.

In the end I still would recommend this book. Even though it's not as engrossing as the earlier ones this book is still well worth getting for any Star Wars fan.

This is the best book for any fan of the movies. It explains things you'll never learn about on screen. From their weapons, to their clothes and why they need and have them, it makes sense of things that don't make sense. Good book!

This is a lovely book which shows lots of little details for the true Star Wars fan. The book also includes lots of nice pictures from the movie. There are separate pages for the characters in the movie, plus Jedis in general, the Wookiees, all of the Dark Side characters, Padme Amidala, etc.

I am really enjoying this book.
