5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive look at the Star Wars Movie Universe
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2010
Verified Purchase
This is one of the best books written on Star Wars. It covers a very high level of detail concerning the two triologies, presented in the order of movie chronology. Episodes I-III are presented in separate sections, while Episodes IV-VI are combined into one larger section.
This book is mostly a rundown of characters. Major characters are offered two pages and/or cutout sections, while more minor characters are given very decent amounts of page space. Besides characters, you learn a great deal about every single weapon and ship used in the six movies, as well as costumes, other equipment, planets visited and more. I never knew such high level of deatil existed on the character backgrounds and weapons, let alone having been studied. It is amazing to know the exact equipment set of each storm trooper, clone trooper, Jedi, as well as R2-D2, vulture droids, you name it, and you will find it.
I have never been a huge fan of the expanded Star Wars universe, so I very much appreciate the decision of the authors to concentrate on the canon movie trilogies. You see some tidibts as part of the elaboration of character backgrounds that contain information from expanded universe (for example, Boba Fett having survived the Sarlacc pit), but this is never over-done, and there appears to be a principle to keep most everything within the canon universe. It is chock-full of information and therefore takes a while to finish, but it is a great read, with fun information and very high-resolution photos. Highly recommended and addictive!

5.0 out of 5 stars Compiles all three previous books plus more
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2007

I won't go too far into the basics of the book as there are plenty good reviews here that do that. I will say if you can only have one book go give you information on all sorts of details in the Star Wars movies universe this is the only book you need. It covers characters, events, equipment, weapons, ships, and the background histories of all this stuff too. It's a single source for fleshing out the Star Wars mythos and putting you further into the fantasy George Lucas creates so many decades ago.

This book is essentially collecting the pages of all four previous Star Wars Visual Dictionaries into a single volume. Great way to save space on the bookshelf or coffee table, that's for sure. Also a great way to save a little money for you first time buyers by getting just one book instead of three. The one thing about the book (or rather books, as they did it too) is that some characters are on every chapter. Mainly R2-D2... he gets these giant splash pages on every chapter. I mean I love the little, but c'mon!

Now between you and me there is more to this collection than reprinting the four previous books into one. There is extra information in here too. Now the chapters covering Episodes one and two are identical to the previous books with the exception of losing the pictures that were on the inside cover and title page. The chapter that covers episode three has an additional 12 pages on top of all the original pages (again... minus the side-photos). Now I never got the original Dictionary on the original trilogy, but I can confirm there are at least four additional pages of content from that section.

I'm sure this volume has ticked off devoted fans who bought the previous books, but if you ask me it can still be a worthwhile investment. I'm not just talking about the 16+ extra pages, but the smaller shelf space as well. Think of it this way. Most of you had a few years to enjoy those other Dictionary books before this came out so in the words of an accountant you have already built value from the depreciation. Even if you bought a previous book or three this would still be a great buy (sell your old books, save that book space).

I had three of the four previous books and I am glad I have the new volume. This book is a good buy no matter how you slice it.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Star Wars fanatic loves this book
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2007
Verified Purchase
I bought this for my 6 year old who is a Star Wars FREAK. He sat down with this book immediately and has not really stopped looking at it since. He can barely read, but he loves examining all of the characters, and the way they are broken down and labeled is very exciting to him. He likes to see everything that he's seen in the movies, and video game, in full detail.
I can't comment on how this book is similar or different to any other book, but I can say, it's very detailed, it covers a lot of information and describes alot of the relationships and uses of the characters & items. My 6 year old can identify way more than I can. This book is well set up, with loads of information and LOTS AND LOTS of details full color high quality photos which is just what we were looking for.

Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars What hides Yoda at his back?
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2011
Verified Purchase
I would like to be briefly plain under three subtitles:

- Content: I do not have the other visiual dictionaries related StarWars, however what I have read from the other reviews as well as what I have seen from this one; it has considerably brief and extensive content, in my humble opinion it is rather sufficient for the dictionary which comprises "Entire StarWars Saga".

- Quality: I found the cover of it rather remarkable as well as its pages (It has also got an additional external cover.).

- Price: Perfect-worth (However it might be relative depends on the percentage of what level it meets your expectations.).

What is the answer of our question? "What hides Yoda at his back?": Sort of treasure, however, you are the best to answer it. 5 stars from me.
(For further read to get deeper information, I would like to suggest The Complete StarWars Encyclopedia.)

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb Book, but very poor packaging
Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022
Verified Purchase
Comprehensively and beautifully illustrated book featuring all characters from episode I to VI. The best thing is, all characters are presented by film, which has made the same character to appear several times in the book (the reason why I prefer this old version). For example, Yoda appears 4 times in the book, from episode I - V. However, the seller really does not care about product packaging. The book is barely placed in a box, without bubble wrap to protect it from shaking / damage during shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un volume eccezionale per i Fan

Per chi ama l'universo di SW, è pieno di spiegazioni e riferimenti a tutti i personaggi, razze, armi, veicoli, costumi... fino ai dettagli più piccoli impossibili da cogliere nei film. Tutto a colori su carta di ottima qualità, sembra un libro artistico. Anzi, lo è!
Comprende tutta la trilogia classica (Ep. IV, V, e VI in una unica sezione) e la trilogia prequel (Ep. I, II e III) in tre sezioni separate, in più nuove schede sulla trilogia classica che non erano presenti nella prima edizione (che aveva solo la trilogia classica).
Attenzione che le sezioni dedicate alla trilogia prequel sono le stesse anche vendute separatamente (es. come Episode I: the visual Dictionary)!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2016

A pictorial book organized chronologically from Episode I to Episode VI. It introduces main characters, locations, creatures, Jedi fighting techniques and technologies from both the Star Wars saga trilogies. The ‘prequel’ trilogy features a chapter for each movie, instead there is only a long chapter for the ‘historic’ trilogy.

It is very useful in order to follow the main characters development, for example you can follow Obi-Wan starting from the period when he was an apprentice to his old age as an hermit.

The artwork is extremely well-finished and the pictures are awesome. A must-have book for all saga fans.
