  <default_description>&quot;'I want to come with you to Alderaan,' Luke said, resolved. 'I want  to become a Jedi like my father.'&quot; This marks the start of Luke Skywalker's involvement with the Rebellion in George Lucas's grand narrative of good versus evil, &lt;I&gt;Star Wars&lt;/I&gt;. You know the story, you've seen the film--but this chunky little book is a real gem. &lt;I&gt;Star Wars&lt;/I&gt; fans of all ages will enjoy both the fine abridgment and Brandon McKinney's 146  two-color illustrations, drawn in classic comic book style. &lt;I&gt;--C.B. Delaney&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This should only be read by real Star Wars fanatics.  If you are someone who just likes the movies, I wouldn't advise reading this.

    <body><![CDATA[First off, thank God this wasn't written by Lucas!  How bad would that be?  Pretty bad.  However, the ghost writer still has to contend with George's storyline, which isn't glaringly bad in movie form (and when you're 12), but is pretty damn stupid when you're 3X and reading a &quot;novel.&quot;  So...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24136184">more...</a>]]></body>
