Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The Force Is Strong In This Book Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R30JL7A59FWFBR Putting this book down is difficult after you flip through a few pages. There are hundreds of pieces of conceptual art and beautiful paintings. It is apparent right from the start that George Lucas only hire the best artists for his movie. The art genre is science fiction. You'll see a lot of concept art on cityscape, robots, planets, costumes, creatures, architecture, props and characters relating to the Star Wars movie. This book is all about art, you won't see any movie stills. There are two versions of the book. The one with the movie script has 272 pages. The one I'm holding has only 224 pages. Design concepts are explained for the characters and set. There's not much text but enough. The level of detail, effort and creativity displayed by the artists is simply marveling. This genre is really a playground for artists to explore with their imagination. For Star Wars fans, there's no reason not to get this book. For artbook lovers, especially those who like sci-fi, this book should be on your shopping list also. There are some pictures of the book on my blog.

And to take the best of both fields we have Star Wars pitted with industry's top artists creating an end episode for one of the greatest (if not the greatest) SF sagas of all times. Fans of SW series will surely enjoy yet another dive into this amazing world, while concept artists and souls alike will marvel the skills and tricks of highly gifted painters and designers. Written almost as a diary, this book gives in-depth look into the creation of Episode 3 spanning over 2 years of conceptualization, design and production. Reads easily, delivers great visuals and informative insights. Also features final Ep.3 script, which i found a bit out of place for it serves a little interest to read the movie that is so much more fun to watch. But certain passes of script were still grabbing, all in all making this book a complete and whole, ideal for those into drawing cool space ships and alien creatures! Customer Rating: Summary: Good one!! Comment: If you are a product designer or a starwar fan who wonders about the production of the amazing creatures, characters and vehicles, this is the one for you! Customer Rating: Summary: Good art, publication desing suffers. Comment: This book is a worthy completion of the three-volume concept art series. The only gripe I have is the sudden change of publication design - a change for the worse from the first two volumes, because the captions in this book are set in a ghastly unreadable typeface, randomly mixed from capital and small letters. The content is still good, and annotations are (fortunately) readable; but whoever came up with this caption style ought to be punished. More Reviews
