This is a great value for a visual reference of over 200 characters from the ongoing Clone Wars Animated Series. For the average cost of three action figures you get a full body image of every major character, clone trooper, droid, and alien that has played a role in this series along with a few quick facts from their respective story lines. Definitely a nice reference book for kids and fans of the series that might want to draw or create some fan comics of their own within this universe.
I gave this book to my 8 year old grandson and he absolutely loved it. Has wonderful illustrations to go with each character. Would recommend it highly.
My little Star Wars enthusiast thinks this is something every kid should have. And it deserves a thousand stars.Seriously, he practiced math facts every day on vacation in order to "earn" minutes of reading this book. This was a tremendous way to reward my little boy for a job well done.
My son loves this book. He really likes the Clone Wars series. The book tells you about characters from season one and two. So just know it's limited.It tells you the gender of the character, height of the character, whether they are allied to the Jedi or Sith, what species they are and their homeworld , who their friends are. You get a run down on weapons and the character's talents. Each page, has a box with that information listed next to an image of each character. Then also, there are small boxes that tell you interesting facts, for example, on Kit Fisto, it has a small box with a line to his tentacles that come out of his head. The box tells you that he can sense other's pheromones. Another box tells you that his green eyes are great for low light vision.It also tells you the names of characters you may have been unsure of, like beasts and machines they ride.
My 8 year old son has been watching the Star Wars: Clone Wars series on Netflix and he enjoys this book, but... It only covers the first two seasons and the show has had 6 seasons (ending in 2014, 4 years after this book was published)! It's woefully out of date. It's been six years since it was published (2010) and there's no sign that they plan to release and updated version. For that reason, I simply cannot recommend this book. Maybe if they come out with an updated, completed edition
I wish they had waited to publish this book until the series was completely released on DVD, but I suppose at the time it was written the plans for the video release of Season Six "The Lost Missions" were not in place. Despite not being complete, I would still recommend this book. It is very informative and has lots of background info and images from the episodes. DK's Star Wars books are the favorites in my library, and their innovative layouts are always interesting. If you are trying to remember a fact about a character from a particular episode, this book would be a terrific reference.
Very pretty presentation. The pictures are great and it covers a large number of characters, but only covers a small portion of the series. I liked the break out of each significant clone trooper, as one can get caught up in the action and forget what distinguishing features are on each clone's uniform. It also goes over individual droids. BUT, the pages are mostly pictures and only have snippets of information on each character. Nothing is general and nothing is detailed. As an adult, I would have preferred to spend my money on an Essential Guide. I would recommend for kids, though. Easy for them to digest and the prints of their favorite season 1 and 2 characters are great.
While this may be a great start for anyone just getting into the TV series or a young fan, it's really not as in-depth as I was hoping. Of course, it's not geared towards my age range, so that may have something to do with it. The pictures are very nice, and it did help jog my memory about certain characters/creatures that I had forgotten about (probably because they got so little screentime in the first place), so I will give it that. But my biggest complaint is that I think it was published too early. There's no mention of characters from season three onward; season three premiered in fall of 2010, the same year this book was released, so that explains that. If they had waited at least one more season before publishing this it would have been slightly better.All in all, it's a decent little guide, but definitely not what I was hoping for in terms of an "encyclopedia".
