This is a hardcover book with a dust jacket. The book is well bind and sturdy. The paper stock is low gloss and of high quality. This is a well constructed book.
The focus of this book is on the costumes for Star Wars Episode I, II and III. The amazing variety of costumes were designed by Trisha Biggar, the costume designer for Star Wars prequel trilogy.
There are more than 300 photos included. The texture of the materials and exquisite details of the designs are...more
Somebody pretty darned awesome got me the collector's edition of this one for my birthday (Thank you, Caroline!).
What an amazing book. Even if you aren't into Star Wars, it's a must read if you are interested at all in film costuming.
My only complaint is that I would have liked to see more of the background characters as many of them have really interesting costumes. The book would have had to have been a few hundred more pages, though.
I wouldn't have minded.

It blows my mind that Trish Biggar was not nominated for an Oscar for Best Costumes. I am a huge Star Wars fanatic, and this book is a MUST for anyone who fell in love with the costumes like I did. Sure, I don't know anything about sewing or costume making, but the pictures are phenomenal. It is amazing to see the craftsmanship and detailing in all of the pieces. Gorgeous! If I ever win a huge jackpot lottery, I am so asking Trish Biggar to be my personal stylist and dress maker.
This book is a MUST for serious costumers and lovers of costumes. A combination of Asian cultures blended to create a fantasy of royal costumes in a galaxy far, far.......
Beautiful photos, close ups of detailing. Over 300 costumers involved.
I so envy being able to have worked on this film. And also Lord of the Rings. I would keep doing what I do if I could have a chance work on such an adventure.
Already a collectors item.

This is an amazing book, my only qualm was they didn't really have anything from the first movies. BUT all of the detail on Queen Amidala's costumes alone make this book amazing, although I wish I had been able to afford the 'deluxe edition' which apparently came with fabric swatches.
AMAZING!!!! The pictures were wonderful and I really enjoyed reading and looking at the pictures in this book! !! I want to buy this book for sure!!!
I absolutely LOVE this book! I got it from the library but now I need to own it. It's just awesome!

I love Star Wars. I love art. And I love costumes. NEED. THIS. BOOK.
This is my happy place.
This is the most visually appealing book I have ever read! To see all the details that go into making a single costume, is truly amazing! This book also provides aspiring costume designers with a great depth into the process of disigning and making a great costume. Plus, if you ever want to make a Star Wars costume that's accurate to the real one, this is your book!
It's astonishing the detail and thought that goes into every costume. It's wonderful to be able to see the detail up close and be able to appreciate it.
I love the costumes of Star Wars! I'm so glad to have this book :)
nice book about movie costumes!
