An Ambitious Pre-Prequel Project

For Star Wars fans of the mid-Nineties, liking Star Wars was actually a defining characteristic - it wasn't frowned upon as Star Trek unfortunately is - and any new info or project was savagly consumed. So, when Lucasfilm announced it's 'Star Wars Movie Without The Movie', fans were thrilled. This book ties together every chapter unveiled in multimedia (the book, the comic, the toys, the CD, and the video game) and weaves together the entire story, from inception to execution. It's not narrative of course, it's a guide, but for anyone who wants the entire story of Episode V 1/2 compiled or explained, or just wants to revisit 1996, this is a great book.

Enjoyable

This is the first Star Wars book I've completed. It's good and falls right in place with the rest of the Star Wars trilogy.
