Return of the Jedi comic book

This book is great in getting our son to love reading! Book is very well written and is basically the whole movie in comic book form.

A look back at the early, heady days of the Star Wars phenomenon

Shortly after my first viewing of "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" I spotted this book on the shelf in the bookstore. The urge was overpowering so I purchased it and read it before the day was over. For hard-core fans of the movies, it was an essential supplement, helping fill a need that only fellow Star Wars addicts can understand. If you are not in this category, then the attraction will puzzle you. For me, this book was a look back to the early, heady days of the Star Wars movies, before the special effects grew to dominate the screen and overwhelm the story.

Return of the Jedi shows promise.

The comic book adaptation of Return of the Jedi does a good job of describing the events that take place in the movie. The sketches drawn show enough detail to give them depth. Found at the back of the book are production sketches from the original trilogy by Ralph McQuarrie, Ivor Beddoes, Joe Johnston, Derek Thompson, George Hull, Doug Chiang, and Terryl Whitlatch including an early concept design of a stormtrooper. I prefer the version that is in the movies. Also included were sketches of the Special Edition of ROTJ including the celebration scenes at the end of the movie.

Wonderful Fantasy Book

Wonderful wonderful book. Exciting, terrifying and haunting at the same time. The final battle for the empire proves to be positive for the rebels, who pull together at the last minute and fight for all they're worth!
