My Idol

Ralph is one of the Best Illustrators that i know.His work is very inspirating for me.If you are true fan of Star Wars you just need this book.Excellent printing on high quality paper.Don't wait and buy this piece of art.

You feel inside this Universe

This incredible book help you feel like all the Star Wars universe and its planets are real. You read the accounts of the "writers" and you think that they really exists.It helps to understand all the story and the beutiful pictures help to get into.A MUST book for a Star Wars fan.

Beautiful, and informative

This is a great book. Beautiful and informative.I bought it originally for the incredible artwork, but I was pleasantly surprised to find lots of great information on some of the worlds in Star Wars. The text is written by Kevin J. Anderson, but he did a pretty good job on this book.Still, the crowning glory of this book is the collection of astounding artwork by Ralph McQuarrie. Lots of full-page color paintings with remarkable detail. McQuarrie is the king of SW art, and this is him at his best! This is a must have for any Star Wars fan, or even one of great artwork, and would make a great present for any Star Wars fan.

Cool

This is one of the must haves for a true Star Wars fan. It is a coffee table book, like Dinotopia. Its stunning illustrations follow the reader through the Star Wars Universe, earning points for believability, and romanticism along the way. Though not a true novel, the text is good for guiding one through the drawings on the book. You have to know that you are not getting a novel, but for a Star Wars fan it hardly matters.

Magnificent Art!

This book has some of the best art there is on the planets that are in the Star Wars Universe. Not heavy on fact, though, this book makes tales that recount the information about Tatooine, Coruscant, Dagobah, Alderaan, Hoth, Yavin, the forest moon of Endor, and Bespin, using pictures and first person narrative. A good addition to any Star Wars fan's book collection.
