5.0 out of 5 stars Good collection of Star Wars music, July 19, 2000
By Bull Durham (United States) - See all my reviews
This book contains 14 songs from the "Star Wars: Special Edition" trilogy (Episodes IV-VI). For those who truly enjoy the "Star Wars" music and have a desire to play it, this book is worth having. I specifically bought the book for piano playing, so I wish it would have been formatted in a piano solo edition. Despite this, most of the pieces play very well on the piano.

The first section contains pieces from "Star Wars: A New Hope." These are as follows: "Star Wars (Main Theme)," "Cantina Band," "Ben's Death/TIE Fighter Attack," "Princess Leia's Theme," and "The Throne Room." Of those probably the main theme is the easiest to play, but I still enjoyed it. "The Throne Room" sounds very majestic on the piano, and I'm glad it was included.

The second section is from "The Empire Strikes Back" and includes: "Han Solo and the Princess," "The Imperial March," "Yoda's Theme," and "May the Force be With You." The "Han Solo and the Princess" theme can be reasonably grasped by a novice player, and it sounds very nice on the piano. The same can be said for "Yoda's Theme."

The third section is from "Return of the Jedi" and includes: "Luke and Leia," "Parade of the Ewoks," "The Emperor Arrives," "Victory Celebration," and "Jedi Rocks." Of those I particularly liked "The Emperor Arrives" and "Victory Celebration."

This book has 60 pages of music plus a few pages of photos and a fold-out poster. I could have done without the pictures and poster if it meant having a couple of more songs in there for the same price (I hope the publishers read this). But their inclusion was not excessive (as I have seen with other movie music books).

I enjoyed this book very much. Of course, these pieces are not nearly as memorable on the piano as were the original soundtracks, but for piano-playing "Star Wars" enthusiasts, the book is worth buying.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE FOR PIANO PLAYERS!!!, February 26, 1999
By A Customer
This is the best, most complete version of music from the Star Wars Trilogy you can get. It is written like it just came of the from the pen of the mighty John Williams himself. It is written for piano (even though it does not say it)and it is fairly advanced. I would say you should have been playing the piano for 3 to 4 years to be able to sit down and go through all the songs, I believe a less difficult version is available but I have not seen it a Amazon.com. This is MUST HAVE if you love the music from Star Wars, and who doesn't?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but BEWARE, June 21, 2009
By neoninfusion (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
I hadn't played the piano for about 20 years until I bought this book. I love it. I had a huge grin when I first played The Throne Room, especially The Force theme.

It certainly is easy piano; I could sight read fairly comfortably for the most part, with easy key signatures and rarely more than three fingers used in the bass (which is evenly spread between one, two and three notes at any one time) and mostly single notes in the treble. Being Star Wars, it is easy to recognise a wrong note - these tunes are so familiar.

However, you need to beware. Amazon has posted the same reviews for this book and the one with the same cover - the paperback version. Amazon has also included both song lists in the Editorial Reviews. These two seemingly identical books have a few differences in what songs they include:

1) Cantina Band (Star Wars) and Ewok Celebration (Return of the Jedi) are only in Easy Piano.

2) Ben's Death/Tie Fighter Attack (Star Wars), Han Solo and the Princess (the love theme from Empire), May the Force Be with You (all movies), Parade of the Ewoks (Return of the Jedi), Jedi Rocks (the replacement song for the Max Rebo Band in the Return of the Jedi Special Edition), and Yoda's Theme (Empire) are only in the Paperback version.

So you need to be careful that you buy the one you really want. They are both easy piano. You also need to be mindful that this edition is strictly for piano.

Overall, this product is fantastic. Even the learner can master the tunes within months. If you are adept at the piano, look for one of the more difficult versions.
