Very happy with my purchase, thank you. This book was received in a timely manner and was in good condition.
Whether you are a die-hard-know-everything Clone Wars fan or just want to get up to speed, this is the book for you. My seven year old originally borrowed this book from our public library and we were so thrilled with it that we purchased the book. This book is an excellent reference for anyone who is into the Clone Wars movie. It clearly explains the characters, battles and vehicles for those who want all the details.
Note: the book is strictly limited to the Star Wars Clone Wars saga (and graphics/illustrations from the movie/tv series, not any of the 6 SW movies). Although the vocabulary is often over his head, the graphics, layout and textual narration are excellent, and continue to command his attention and stimulate his imagination. A very well-done product. A new Star Wars convert, my five year old son received this as a gift for his birthday two months ago. Since then, it has rarely left his side, as he reads it constantly.
With the book, various elements in the film can be explained on a visual level, and inside jokes like 1138 can be got by savvy fans. "A plan is only as goos as those who see it through". Those who are familiar with the film, will find the book very easy to follow, and a delightful look into the film that goes at your pace.The art is taken from the film, and 'panels' are inserted (and even numbered) so readers can follow the plot scene by scene.
Watching the film, I appreciated it, but missed some of the subtle plot nuances. Perhaps this is a reference to the Scorcerors Apprentice, "Finish What you Start". This time, I got them.The back of the book says it well.
The Visual Guide to the Clone Wars (based on the new animated film), is a remarkable book. Unlike many visual guides, this one weighs in at 144 pages of pure digital animation joy. Either way, the Clone Wars rocks.Tim Lasiuta
It's almost like this is a sophisticated storyboard for Clone Wars that took on a life of its' own. (Think THX 1138).
As a long time Star Wars fan and visual guides collector, I recomend. It's for all the family, parents included, not only for the kids. I really like this visual guide. It's clean, well organized, nice, very beautiful book, with a modern and bold design.
