5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE ITEM FOR STAR WARS FANS, May 19, 2005

By	Tim Janson (Michigan) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, April 10, 2005

By	Daniel Pierce (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

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!
