 Great designs, but delicate. October 9, 2009
Douglas E. Cornelius (Boston)
This is not your standard pop-up book. These are intricate designs that explode out of the page at you. Some of the coloring is off. Most of the pages are a bit delicate for the grabbing hands of the little ones who want to read it and turn the pages.
Great Gift September 18, 2009
T. R. (Oklahoma City)
This is a very well done book. We purchased it as a gift and I think the recipient will really enjoy it. He is part of the first Star Wars generation. The pop-ups are amazing!
Fantastic gift for the fan who has it all! September 15, 2009
E. Haynes (Charleston, WV)
We bought this for my 9 year old who saw it at a bookstore (for a much higher price) and couldn't put it down. He got several Star Wars toys at his birthday party but this was the biggest hit. After everything was opened he sat in a chair reading this book and passing it around to everyone at his party. We have two other pop up books - Dinosaur and Shark that are great too. The pop ups are intricate and amazing, and the text is interesting enough to make a 9 year old want to sit and read. Great gift if you don't know what toys a child (or grownup) has, or if you are one of those who like the "educational" gifts.
 Good idea..poor effort June 26, 2009

I am baffled there are this many positive reviews for this product. Either you are allowing your passion for Star Wars blind you or you have placed your book in a special quiet place and look at it from afar. I am only comforted by the fact my mother bought this book for my son, or I would be demanding my money back.
My mother saw this online will searching for another Star Wars product and my son and I were both excited when it came. Although he is only four, he loves Star Wars and we use it as a way to learn about other things. This book fell apart the first time we used it. The middle designs in particular are hard to compact, making the book impossible to put away or even get to other pages. The lightsabers go on and off when they want to...or maybe when you use the force.
Listen, I'm an educated man with a calm mind and a passion for Lucas products. I have actually thrown this book away because I was so tired of trying to make something poorly designed cherished just because it is a Star Wars Product. I find it hard to believe of the hundreds of reviews there are no other complaints.
Save your money and buy other products with the same information.
ASTOUNDING June 10, 2009
