 Wonderful pop ups!! November 18, 2008
Kathleen S. Smalley (Springfield, IL)
This book is something that you or your grandchildren will cherish forever. It is a keepsake. The pop ups are so fascinating. Not only do you get the main pop up but all the small explanatory pop ups in the corners. I was thoroughly amazed at the work that went into this book. It is definitely worth the price. I plan to purchase all the other pop up books by Matt Reinhart.

I bought this book for my nephew for his birthday. He carried it everywhere he went and didn't look at his other presents much until later.
Best Star Wars product ever September 24, 2008
S. Banks (Houston, Tx United States)
There isn't much else to be said that the other reviews don't say - clearly this is a winner. There is something magical about a non techie item that reveres the tech filled star wars universe. During Hurricane Ike in Tx, we had no power for nearly a week and my kids loved this book. There were so many delightful surprises in it, its a wonder of papercraft engineering that will delight for years to come.
A Great Kids Intro to the Original 3 Films September 21, 2008
John (Albuquerque, NM)
I bought this for my nephews, 3 and 7, and they love it. Even though their (good) parents won't let them watch Star Wars yet, they love being introduced to all these characters through this book.
The pop-ups are intricate and amazing. The multiple layers within layers on just one page is evidenced by the thickness of this book. The pop-ups cascade out to reveal a surprising number of characters from the original trilogy. Luke's boyhood friend Wedge is even in there.
The artwork is true art - reproductions of watercolor. The pop-ups aren't always true to form (the Death Star looks kind of like a squashed ping pong ball) but come on - it's a pop-up!
Great introductory Star Wars brainwashing. Highly recommended.
