The Star Wars Trilogy Leatherbound Classics

To those who wants the feeling of being thrilled to perpetuate even after the Star Wars: Rogue One film, this is exactly the perfect book for you. The dramatic ending left us wanting more from the spin-off film but it is just fortunate that it is a prequel of a Star Wars Trilogy done on the 70’s and 80’s. I chose to read the book in lieu of watching its movie counterpart, despite its great review, to avoid beind dismayed ove the poor visual graphics during the era where CGI has not yet went to its inception. I am reading the book instead because by doing so I could easily compensate for the lack of technology with my unlimited imagination where CGI and visual effects could all be created instanteneously into my mind. The story in this book immediatelly continues where the Rogue One left off. It is where when Princess Leia Organa, a senator from the planet of Aldeearan recieved the most vital transmission that could save the rebellion and the galaxy from imminent extermination. This trilolgy revolves around the three major characters. The Corellian smuggler with his inseparable anthropoidal furred creature named Chewbacca, Princess Leia Organa and the youngster from the land of Tatooine, Luke Skywalker. The last remaining Jedi of the galaxy who went under the tutelage of the most senior Jedi trainer Yoda hoping that Luke will be the chosen one who could bring balance to the force. I found the book to be really entertaining for some of its portion that is humurous that never failed to made me chuckle a bit and it also prompted me to feel sad at times especially the conclusion of the book. It made me realise that no matter how evil a person might be, there is always good in him somewhere in the deep of his core that can be unlocked only by receprocating his evil with goodness. As always Star Wars is an allegory of the politcal, social and economic realities of this world. It can also be related even in this recent times where oppression and even extermination is the order of the day. This book aims to galvanised its readers to stand for what is just and right no matter the consequences and to achieve an end risk and sacrifice is necessary.

The original trilogy in one book. Just awesome!

In this case, you can judge a book by its cover, since it’s Star Wars, and this image puts you in the serialized, cliffhanger mood that George Lucas was inspired from when he made the first Star Wars. The book was also good, having a proper novelization of the original trilogy.

These are classics. My son is totally into them and it's nice to have this to read to him at night (although the writing is a little sophisticated for little kids, true fans can make it interesting by mimicking key lines from the movie when reading them aloud). The binding is very good quality. The book holds together. Nice print, easy to read. Regarding the content: C'mon - it's Star Wars. It's freakin' awesome. Eleven stars!!

So, I had continued after I finished Episode III of the prequel trilogy; pausing only to fit in "Shadows of the Empire" after "Empire Strikes Back," and you really get a feel of where George wanted to take this series. Episode IV had a bit of racism in it - when it came to describing the Jawas and the droids - how the droids were forbidden from the cantinas. You also get a bit clearer context to Luke's training on Dagobah in that he could have been training with Yoda for about a year. In "Return of the Jedi," Ben tells Luke (from his spirit form) that Owen was his brother - and you wonder if that was Ben sugarcoating his words "from his own point of view," that borders on manipulation as Owen hated Ben during Luke's upbringing - just a surprise to read. It's also interesting too how Han gives his "smuggler reformed" speech to the Ewoks before they are accepted as part of the tribe. Things that probably should have been included in the movies.

this trilogy book as really nice! the cover is very cool and im pumped to read it again

Watching Star Wars movies is always an epic event, but reading the stories is an even more personal experience. I don't want to give out any spoilers or too much information, because I think it is important for readers to approach the books with an open mindset. I happen to love everything Star Wars because I believe in The Force, I believe in magic, and I believe in the perseverance of humanity. I have a true love for Luke Skywalker who embodies all I believe a magician or Jedi should be--someone who is a brave protector, defender, and enemy, but also someone who loves those around him and who is loyal to his friends. I only read a little at a time because I don't want to read it so fast that the adventure is over! I love George Lucas and I love Star Wars, and I'm very happy to own this trilogy.

I have been home sick for a good story and got three. I love the movies and have always wanted to read the novelizations to them. I got sick and am needing to be resting for at least a week. So I decided I should read. I bought this at this ridiculously amazing price! I have been passing the time away diving into these stories I have loved my whole life. I also loooove the cover art. It gives an old 70s 80s feel to it.

Nicely made book with good quality paper. Insanely good value especially given the price at the time of purchase (€13). If you’re buying this you’re probably not buying it for the actual story but more as a collector to show on a shelf so I’m only commenting on the quality of the book itself which is great at this price point.

Amazing storyline an excellent overall experience with the entire franchise (except the last 6 movies an the Acolytes) u'll never be disappointed

These are the original Star Wars movie tie-in novels, the stories that established a merchandising machine. The stories should be familiar to most, it is essentially a good old fashioned good vs. evil story of heroics and redemption. The movies transformed expectations for movie special effects and are justly famous for their epic scale, awesome set pieces and action. The novels faithfully capture the spirit of the movies and follow the movies very closely (unsurprisingly given their movie tie-in nature) however the novels do flesh out the characters and introduce some new details. I find that the novels match the movies in that the best of the three is The Empire Strikes Back. By far the best story of the three with the unforgettable "I am your father" moment, genuine emotional depth, the introduction of Yoda and the best action set pieces of the original trilogy. The novel is tightly written and works extremely well as a novel in its own right. I still believe this is the best of any of the Star Wars movies, the only serious competitor to its position is Rogue One. Star War, episode IV, as the original is in some ways the most important of the entire franchise as if this one hadn't succeeded there might never have been sequels and prequels. This really is an old fashioned story (and that is not a criticism) with all sorts of nods to other stories such as 633 Squadron. The story established a whole new galaxy scape, some genuinely iconic designs and the characters we came to know and love. Although it is not the best novelisation it is serviceable and the story carries the reader along. Whatever George Lucas' faults the ambition and scope of the story was remarkable, the concept of a planet destroying Death Star and a very technologically advanced society co-existing with a spiritual force and the quasi religion of the Jedi Order is so familiar it just seems obvious yet it is was like stepping into a new world in 1977 (pun intended....). I still get a goose bumps when I watch that opening sequence of the rebel blockade runner trying to escape and the Star Destroyer flying over the screen, the novel really does capture the spirit of the movie and is thoroughly enjoyable. There are some small differences from the movie, for example the dialogue in the Death Star conference centre where the two characters of Admiral Motti and General Tagge are combined into General Tagge in the book, and Luke flies with blue squadron rather than red squadron as in the movie. However overall there are few differences. I found the weakest link to be The Return of the Jedi. The movies were really into their stride in terms of special effects, some of the set pieces such as the climactic battle were superbly done and Vader's ultimate redemption one of the great moments of movies however I found it slightly disappointing when compared to the first two movies (albeit better than the prequels or the two latest movies). The story feels slightly disjointed and it all starts feeling like something to hang merchandising from as much as a movie. However, it did introduce Emperor Palpatine. These stories are the sort of popcorn pure entertainment that you can just sit back and enjoy without having to think too much. Highbrow readers may shudder at such a thought, but if you want to just immerse yourself in a proper ripping yarn and enjoy the experience then these stories take some beating and although the novels won't win a Nobel Prize for literature but I suspect most people will enjoy reading them. For people of a certain age these novels will take you right back to your youth and recapture the magic of Star Wars. The Kindle transfer is pretty good too and a bargain. Recommended, 5*.

Incrível!
