Imagine: the first Star Wars book that actually moves, bringing to life the most memorable scenes from the epic: Obi-Wan battles Darth Maul The Millennium Falcon zooms away from an exploding Death Star Luke rides a galloping Tauntaun, Yoda twirls his green lightsaber, Boba Fett blasts up, up and away! And of course the most memorable scene of all―red and blue lightsabers flashing, Luke and Darth Vader fight the ultimate battle between good and evil.It’s a marriage made in a galaxy far, far away: phenomenal Scanimation meets Star Wars, the enduring epic that’s sold $42 billion in ticket sales and earned the title #1 Boys Action Toy License of all time. Created by Rufus Butler Seder, Star Wars: A Scanimation Book presents 12 of the most memorable scenes, in a landscape, i.e., movie format. It’s an homage from an artist obsessed with the earliest forms of capturing visual motion to an artist obsessed with the most advanced. But that’s not what young fans will care about―this is having pure movie magic in the palm of your hand, to replay again and again.

I've always been intrigued and impressed by the Scanimation line of animated picture books. Their lo-fi eye candy is especially compelling in todays increasingly digital world. As soon as I saw the Star Wars edition today, I bought it on the spot at a local bookstore. After I signed my slip I realized I was so blown away by the product I forgot to check the price before I bought it.Like all Scanimation books, the pictures are small in scope but big on animation. the animation is provided by alternating bands of tint, a very cool effect. Even the presence of several (3 or 4) scenes from the most recent three movies did not detract significantly from my enjoyment.An excellent book for any fan of any of the three movies, or pop-up/childrens book collectors.
Star Wars: A Scanimation Book: Iconic Scenes from a Galaxy Far, Far Away...This was bought for my 7 year old grandson. I purchased it because I had also bought this author's other 3 scanimation books, Waddle, Gallop and Swing for his 3 year old brother. The first 3 books were excellent and very unique. My grandson's older brother even got a kick out of looking at them. These books are made so that when you turn the page and move it back and forth the pictures actually move. These books should be considered board books since the pages are thick and cannot be bent or creased. Based on the above I decided to purchase the Star Wars Scanimation book by the same author. I was somewhat disappointed when it arrived. First of all the pictures are not that clear and most of them look like moving blobs. There is no story but instead the book contains quotes from the different Star Wars movies. If a child has not seen the movies the quotes mean nothing and the moving blobs mean even less. I would highly recommend buying this authors first 3 scanimation books that I listed above. This one cannot be compared to the others when it comes to quality. Very big disappointment.
My only complaint is that some of the pictures are very dark and hard to see. That said, my son (35 years) and my grandson (3 years) absolutely love this book.
What a neat novelty gift book for a Star Wars fan. I stumbled across this book on ebay, but found it here on for a much lower price.Bought it as a surprise for my 11 year old son, and all three of my kids enjoyed looking at it to figure out how it works.
Hi, Fun moving pictures of Star wars for kids. I love these books. They are great fun. I am glad they invented this kind of book. Even young adult may like it since Star wars was going strong during their life. I hope they make more of these types of books. Worth it to see it. Happiness....
I have now bought at least 10 of these Scanimation books because their animated pictures are absolutely wonderful for children of all ages. It is a board book that is truly interactive. This particular one covers Star Wars and I bought it along with The Wizard of Oz one for birthday presents for twin one year olds. They will keep a toddler amused for hours and they cover many topics: animals, sports, comics and movies!Each book has exceptional illustrations in a format that allows the viewer to see captioned moving pictures with the turn of a page!In this delightful book we learn of Luke Skywalker's adventures in Star Wars. Although I bought this for babies, it has become the 7 year old's favorite book recently and adults have commented on what a great keepsake it is, so I guess anyone would find something great about it. I think Rufus Butler Seder is a genius!
Book arrive as expected. I purchased Star Wars: A Scanimation Book for my Star Wars crazed grandson. He loves it! The colors are a bit dark but does not bother my grandson so therefore, I highly recommend.
i have purchased several scanimation books and the kids enjoy them. this book came with a silvery/reflective front cover but had a noticeable crease in the upper left corner and various light scratches all over. the scanimation pages are difficult to see bc the pictures are so dark.
