Looked great on paper!

[Joseph · Rating 4 out of 5]

Look, I read this many, many years ago, no longer have my copy (...probably?), and have no idea what I would rate it today. That said, I loved this book so much when I was a kid that just thinking about it gives me a rush of nostalgia. I'd seen the movie and didn't really understand it, but I read this so many times afterward. It helped spark a short but intense "Star Wars" phase of my childhood and probably has a lot to do with my love of worldbuilding today.

Chocked full of a lot of background story information for a small scrapbook.
