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.

About the Author

Rufus Butler Seder is an optical genius whose first significant invention was Lifetiles, glass-walled murals that appear to come to life when the viewer walks by. He’s installed them at the Smithsonian, SeaWorld, Union Station, and other museums, aquariums, train stations, and ocean liners around the world. Next came Scanimation, and his company EyeThink, Inc., a business that produces a line of toys and gifts using technologies he’s invented. Mr. Seder lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

Avid Book Buyer

Great Star Wars collectible! A real must for the avid Star Wars fan.

May 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have now bought at least 10 of these Scanimation books because their animated pictures are absolutely wonderful for children of all ages. It is a board book that is truly interactive. This particular one covers Star Wars and I bought it along with The Wizard of Oz one for birthday presents for twin one year olds. They will keep a toddler amused for hours and they cover many topics: animals, sports, comics and movies!

Each book has exceptional illustrations in a format that allows the viewer to see captioned moving pictures with the turn of a page!
In this delightful book we learn of Luke Skywalker's adventures in Star Wars. Although I bought this for babies, it has become the 7 year old's favorite book recently and adults have commented on what a great keepsake it is, so I guess anyone would find something great about it. I think Rufus Butler Seder is a genius!

Fun addition to any Star Wars library...kids and grown-ups!

December 6, 2011

Six months ago, I gave one of these to my 4 yo son and it's been on his nightstand ever since! He still looks at it several times a week. Here are my thoughts:

PROS

- Amazing design on how the animation works; pretty easy to be mesmerized by it.

- Even though it's not a board book, it's still sturdy enough to allow my 1 yo to play with it.

- Perfect stocking stuffer or companion gift. I bought many of these and like to include it with any Star Wars gift I give. I swear the parents love it more than the kids do.

CONS

- Due to the "magic" that has to occur, there really aren't that many pages and very little text.

- Slightly darker than other Scanimation books I have so you'll need more room light.

OVERALL

- Love it! Here's a test for you: put this on your coffee table and see how many people pick this up. Lots of entertainment value.

Neat book!

What a neat novelty gift book for a Star Wars fan. I stumbled across this book on ebay, but found it here on Amazon for a much lower price.

Bought it as a surprise for my 11 year old son, and all three of my kids enjoyed looking at it to figure out how it works.

Fun and different

I bought this as a gift for my nephew who lives in a home for disabled children. He can't have a TV in his room or any sort of game system, and I thought this book was a good substitute for those types of distractions since the pictures really do move and come to life. It's infinitely better than the old style moving pictures which really only gave two different pictures. This looks like actual movement and is fun to watch.

Hi, Fun moving pictures of Star wars for kids. I love these books. They are great fun. I am glad they invented this kind of book. Even young adult may like it since Star wars was going strong during their life. I hope they make more of these types of books. Worth it to see it. Happiness....

Fun book for Star Wars or graphic arts fans.

December 17, 2010

I ordered the book for my nephew who is a huge Star Wars fan. It is really interesting and fun to look at. My husband grabbed it and looked at for over 30 minutes, going back and forth between the pages. He could not believe it wasn't some kind of computerized display. I think reading about the author and how and why he created and was able to perfect the pictures makes the book even more interesting. The information is on the author's website, not with the book, which is unfortunate. The book is a great conversation piece for children, grown-ups, and Star Ward fans.
