superb:)

c-mon! It's starwars, need I say more? I don-t need to, I know. Having star wars on the cover is worth 4 stars at the least, so... Being a good book and an exellent novelization of my favorite movie, it deserves 5000.May the Force Be With You

Return of The Jedi Screenplay

This is one great book. For those of you who love Star Wars, this should be added to your collection. Instead of reading about the story, you read the script. It's not all the same, some sentences are longer or shorter, but that doesn't matter. Includes cool illustrations too. I rate it a 5!

So you think you've heard the whole story..Well listen again

I really enjoyed the whole Empire Strikes Back radio drama. Soundeffects adapted from the original movie mixed together with actors who really know how to let you 'Feel The Force' while listening to the story.Great !

Luke Skywalker meets his father

The Empire attacks the Rebels' base on the ice planet of Hoth and takes it. Forcing Luke, Han Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and the droids R2D2 and C3PO, to evacuate the planet. Luke Skywalker, after seeing the ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi, goes to Dagoba to begin his training as a Jedi Knight with Yoda. Meanwhile, the Emperor and Darth Vader, plot to bring Luke to the Dark side of the Force. Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and the two droids head for the Cloud City of Bespin, to meet with Lando Calrissian. They're unaware of the fact that Lando's about to turn Han over to the Empire. (Actually, Jabba the Hutt). On Dagoba, Yoda shows Luke a vision of the future. He's forced to fight himself when Yoda tells him he'll be like his father. Yoda tells him that he'll be easily turned. Luke says he won't. Then Yoda says that his sister might be. Luke's surprised. Yoda says that Annikin Skywalker had two children--twins. A boy and a girl. The girl, Leia, had been sent to Alderaan for her own protection. The boy, Luke, was sent to Tatooine. In the cliamatic battle between Luke and Vader, Vader reveals the truth. He tells Luke that he's his father. Luke refuses to believe it. He's holding on for dear life after being shoved out of the city for refusing to join Vader. He's rescued by Chewbacca and Lando Calrissian. They set out to free Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt back on his home planet of Tattooine.

I thought that it was the second best book I ever read

I have read it many times, it is a very good book.I think it is the best of all the "STAR WARS" books(besides Slave Ship)
