Summary: See also "Disappointing..."
Comment: I was thrilled to receive this book for Christmas; but, they could have included so much more. While there were plenty of new entries for episodes I and II, I like the previous reviewer felt they rehashed a lot of old material. Without checking the actual page count, I'd guess half the entries were (near) duplications from the books predecessor. On a positive note, the majority of those ships featured new pictures, at unique angles. Still, I have to wonder why they didn't cover solely new ships (referring to any minor redesign updates in the back notes), especially those of recent novelizations. I could go into detail, but the "Disappointing..." review covered the meat of my complaint quite adequately. As far as the prequels are concerned, their contributions either look too smooth, or frumpy (of course, not the fault of the artists who worked on the book). The new stuff just isn't grandiose or awe-inspiring, like the vessels of the original trilogy. The high points: Color was, in the majority of cases, a welcome addition. Designer / manufacturer backgrounds were informative (even if the logos were cheesy). The hyperspace / sublight chart was great for ship comparisons. Brief notes (in the back) concerning specific ships were helpful. And, lastly, the fleet battle scenarios, though vague, were a nice bonus. Overall, I'd say this book deserves 3 1/2 stars - could have been better, yet still worth the price.

Summary: My son and I both love this book!
Comment: This large and attractive book is an overview of vehicles from the Star Wars universe, containing everything from the AAT to the Z-95 Headhunter. Each vehicle is shown in a color, full-page picture, with a technical readout, and then is given a one page introduction with schematics. Lots and lots of vehicles are here, including many from the movies and the New Jedi Order, though obviously not from Episode III.
My son is a major fan of Star Wars, and was really glad to get this book. The colorful and serious way that these vehicles are treated really brings them to life, making them seem as real to him as any real vehicles. Plus, he loved the one-page description of the vehicles, and pored over the book for many hours. He loves this book, and so do I! We both highly recommend this book.
