    The "Wow!  Look at that!" Factor...
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2008*

The Star Wars exhibit recently appeared at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia where I had a chance to see it.  Talk about fueling the mystique of an already magical part of my childhood!  Although I would recommend seeing this exhibit first hand, this book is the next best thing.  No, maybe it is the better of the two, since you can take this home and keep it.The only reason this is not a 5-star review is that, since seeing the exhibit as reawakened my enthusiasm for making plastic model kits (something that has slumbered peacefully since I was in my mid-teens), I have a need for reference material to accurately reproduce these models, and this book only has a tantalizingly small group of extreme close ups of some sections of the filming models.  Of course, a 5-star book that would satisfy my needs would be impossibly thick and cost... a lot.This book certainly has a "wow, look at that" factor.  It shows you the intimate details that are missed onscreen, and you will come to appreciate on a deeper level the degree of attention spent on these films.

    Wow wow  - Sculpting a Galaxy Special Edition Box Set
  

*by D***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2013*

This is an enormous tome, each book is signed and numbered by Lorne Peterson.The Special Edition contains many many more photos - 500 hundred more i believe, a very well specially produced Documentary Diary  DVD narrated by Lorne Peterson, multiple solid resin reproduction props as used in the production of Star Wars - A New Hope, and an additional thinner paperback book focusing on the CG elements of the later films.As other reviewers have mentioned, some of the images suffer from low resolution, tho not many. Fans would have been better served with more emphasis placed on the creatures created for the films, the index at the rear of the book with 1/2" x 1/2" images is more comprehensive, tho disappointing at the very small scale. Fortunately the included DVD does a great job of showcasing the creatures and the shenanigans in the studio.Recommended.

    An excellent coffee table book.
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2010*

As a model maker I love my reference sources, and I bought this book with the aim of producing two FineMolds 1/48 X-wings in a death star diorama. For that end the book was only moderately useful as there are only limited shots of each model. Each models gets roughly 1-2 pages, or perhaps a large fold out spreed for more important items - the Falcon and snowspeeder etc. However as a coffee table book it is excellent. The pictures are large and clear, and furthermore the shots are actually visually interesting, so much so that everyone who visits inevitably thumbs through this book with great interest - star wars fan or not. Also there is a surpising amount of writing in the book and the various anec dotes are well done and worth a read. My summation would be to say that is a visually interesting book particulary for model makers like myself that is useful for stimulating ideas, or as a general coffee table book. However if you want extensive reasearch materials or modelling tips then the internet might still be your best source.
