Ever wondered as you put on your glasses for the umpteenth time, “How does R2-D2 see?” Or maybe you've thought to yourself as you are putting together a flat-pack bedside cabinet from Sweden, “What tools does R2-D2 use?” Or maybe you're walking down the aisle towards your beloved soon-to-be husband and a question pops into your head, “Has R2-D2 ever been to a wedding?”
Well now you can find out the answer to all these questions plus more, all in bite-size bits of text in an A5 hardback book packed with glossy, full-colour pages containing stills from the films. It also has lots of labelled pictures of things from the films too like other droids, different spaceships R2-D2 has been in, different worlds he has been too, different characters he has worked with, all of which are good reference for little ones.
The book took about 20 minutes for me to read through it so don't expect it to be super encyclopaedic, but all the basics will be covered. It does have some spoilers in it so maybe you’d want to see the movies first although R2-D2’s story is not as sensational as some of the other characters (e.g. the Darth Vader book in this series reveals his true relationship to Luke Skywalker which is a big spoiler of the films for new fans).
Overall this book is suitable for kids, is not too difficult to read and is nice to look at. 4 stars.
