Summary: Beautiful concept art for great SW movie
Comment: Just like it's awesome predecessor for Episode 1, 'The Art of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones' really delivers the goods, presenting the beautiful concept art for the film. All in a nice hardcover book, it makes a great looking collectable for the shelf. It's fun for the fan to see all the concepts that didn't make it into the final film, as much as it is to see those that did.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great look at the developmental process
Comment: I've enjoyed all of the art of star wars books. If you are a film fan, artist or designer you'll love this book. It shows all of the conceptual art that occured during the preproduction phase of the movie development, and some of the artists talk about why they created the designs that they did.
The layout of the book starts from the first scenes and moves toward the ending with the big battle scenes. I really enjoyed was the conceptual paintings of the final battle. The paintings were very similar to the battle scenes in the movie. The art ranges from quick sketches to vibrant production paintings. The book also shows some of the preproduction maquettes/models of some of the characters which are quite impressive.
Another great point is that this book also has the film script whcih has some deleted scenes which is a real treat.
Anyways If you enjoy looking at the behind the scenes of movie making and can appreciate the art that goes into making the star wars movies you should pick this book up.

Summary: Attack of the Clones Art Book Strikes Chords
Comment: One of the saddest things about seeing the Star Wars prequels taking such a drubbing from critics and fans is knowing how hard the artists and designers work to make these movies go from concept to the finished film. I admit it; I am one of those rare fans who apparently enjoyed Episodes I and II, and I owned this book several weeks before Attack of the Clones was released in May 2002.
The book is beautifully designed and Mark Cotta Vaz's accompanying text to the conceptual art is authoritative yet accesible even to younger readers. The many designs -- even those not used in the movie -- evoke memories of the earlier trilogy's Art of...series, and one can see the "evolution" of the many ship and costume designs to what fans call Classic Star Wars. (To me, the most interesting "fact" is that Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter's lines will be echoed in the evil Empire's Imperial Star Destroyer.)
The screenplay by George Lucas and Jonathan Hales (who also wrote the story for The Scorpion King) is included. It is the complete "before edits were made to the film" draft, which allows readers to catch glimpses of Padme Amidala's family and other scenes that were filmed but later deleted. (Those scenes are included on the extra features disc of the Episode II DVD set, but some fans may only have the VHS version instead.)
For Star Wars fans and film art aficionados, this book is definitely a keeper.
