My nephew LOVED this book |
|
I bought this book for my nephew for his birthday. He carried it everywhere he went and didn't look at his other presents much until later. |

Best Star Wars product ever |
|
There isn't much else to be said that the other reviews don't say - clearly this is a winner. There is something magical about a non techie item that reveres the tech filled star wars universe. During Hurricane Ike in Tx, we had no power for nearly a week and my kids loved this book. There were so many delightful surprises in it, its a wonder of papercraft engineering that will delight for years to come. |

Guido Didn't Shot First |
I bought this for my nephews, 3 and 7, and they love it. Even though their parents won't let them watch Star Wars yet, they love being introduced to all these characters through this book.
The pop-ups are intricate and amazing. The multiple layers within layers on just one page is evidenced by the thickness of this book. The pop-ups cascade out to reveal a surprising number of characters from the original trilogy. Luke's boyhood friend Wedge is even in there.
The artwork is true art - reproductions of watercolor. The pop-ups aren't always true to form (the Death Star looks kind of like a squashed ping pong ball) but come on - it's a pop-up!
Great introductory Star Wars brainwashing. Highly recommended. |
