Book Description:
The popularity of the Star Wars films seems only to grow with
time, and the release of the new "prequel" trilogy is sure
to add to that ever-burgeoning fame. Star Wars: Incredible
Cross-sections is another in Dorling Kindersley's beautifully
produced series of companion books providing interesting background
trivia to the all-time classic trilogy. Using the full colour
cross-section artwork techniques familiar from previous DK
illustrated works, Reynolds, Jenssen and Chasemore collectively
reveal the inner workings of 15 of the key vehicles and spacecraft
from the original three films. Want to know how the ungainly AT-AT
walkers (the metallic behemoths witnessed at the beginning of The
Empire Strikes Back) manage to move and the ethos behind their
unusual design? Or perhaps the combat advantages of a TIE fighter
over a T-65 X-wing, or even the modifications made over the years to
Han Solo's legendary YT-1300 stock light freighter, better known as
the Millennium Falcon? This book will make all clear, illustrating
it (almost literally) down to the last screw. To my mind, this is
the real strength of the book--the texture and precision of Jenssen
and Chasemore's illustrations bears the most minute examination, and
even those with no knowledge of or interest in Star Wars
would surely marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art. But,
of course, this is really a book aimed at the committed fan, and the
information David West Reynolds has retrieved from his research into
the Lucasfilm archives will leave none of them disappointed. |
