(Read in 2005, review from 2024)

By the time of Revenge of the Sith came out I was starting to age out of the Star Wars Visual Dictionaries and Incredible Cross Section books and didn't read their Revenge of the Sith entries as much. Still they remain enjoyable.

I didn't really pay as much attention to the text as I should have, though that's because the illustrations are the real feature here. The highlight is definitely the fold-out spread of the Invisible Hand. Really shows the distances that our heroes had to travel throughout the ship at the start.

Side note - much to the relief of my followers, I will be taking a break from reading my exhaustive Legends collection for a bit. :P

Well I saw these on my travels through the day and remembered I had the set somewhere at home - so as you can imagine the first thing I did was dig them out (literally) and read my way through the set. You have to appreciate them simply for the sheer amount of work the artists put in to them - they are amazing and so detailed. I have no idea how much time is put in to each individual image but I suspect a very very long time with many revisions and stages. For someone who has a soft spot for Star Wars and keeps his boyhood love of space ships this book (and the others in the series so watch this space) brings a smile to his face.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith: The Definitve Guide to Spaceshops and Vehicles" is an absolute must for any Star Wars fanatic. Besides giving the specs on the most popular hardware in the movie, this book gives brief histories and explanations of how the vehicles came to be.

I've spent hours pouring over the details.

I'd recommend this for any Star Wars enthusiast, anyone that appreciates detailed Science Fiction, or fans of creative art.

Nice pictures of the equipment. Some of the Amazon reviews weren't flattering to the author about how precise the descriptions were, but the artist did a good job with the pictures.
