My 12 year old grandson loves Legos and Star Wars. My 42 year old son loved Legos and Star Wars.  Both are creative and classic!  May the Force be with you!

I love it. I love you a fan of the first generation of Star Wars since 1977, after having seen the original versions of the original three films in the theater one time each as a child. The three 3 sagas 1977 were the best. The other sagas only added special effects improved in the first series.

What's not to love? Star wars and language arts. Having fun reliving my childhood with my kids through mad libs.

A ton of terrible narrow minded people are giving this book one star because they refuse to be mature adults. It's itonic because the whole Jedi thing/ Star Wars message is to let go anger and hate.

This book is actually really rad. It opens up the universe and I really love the subtle mentions of old familiar characters while focusing on new and diverse characters. It's important that this universe be huge and full of new life it it wants to survive. The same 5 space battle stories are old and boring. And the EU still exists it I just fading into the West like all these awful 1star fan boys should do. There is no room in the fandom for hatred, fear & privileged jerks.

The great thing about reading is it can take you to new places and expand your horizons. This book is clearly setting up a lot of REALLY cool things ~ I don't want to spoil it but that's why you should READ the book!!

This book gives Star Wars fan a view of the ancient history of Jedi, which took place almost 26,000 years before the Star Wars: the New Hope.  The book mainly focuses on two brother and sister who grew up as Jedi Journeyer and learn to be Jedi Ranger. The older sister, Lanoree who has a good balance of the Force learns to use it and becomes a well known Jedi Ranger.  The brother, Dal, on the other hand refuses the Force and wants to be Stargazers.  Dal gives me the impression of the present Scientologist.

The Je Daii masters do not talk in term of dark and light, but more on balance.  Lanoree was portrayed as someone who is strong in Force and is willing to kill to retain the balance in the Force.

While the book gives a good glimpse of the ancient practice of the old ancient Jedi, there seems to be a lot of disconnection with the Jedi as we know it.  Many of the practices and worlds mentioned in this book are no longer mentioned in the Star Wars universe today.  It gives the impression that the events in this book may have happened in a different universe.  The use of a sword instead of light saber is another baffling item.  And finally, there are some other skills in this book that never carried forward to the Star Wars universe.  The old Je daii practices unethical skills (for example the alchemy of flesh) that surprisingly disappeared over the 26,000 years.

If you want to read this book for fun, I would recommend it.  But if you want to continue the world of Star Wars, I suggest look elsewhere.

Well drawn and with the original characters' interactions and traits preserved, a fun read for Star Wars fans of all ages.

It always amazes me how people who collect Star Wars memorabilia always get upset when a product they previously purchased is re-released in a fashion that doesn't give them something "more". Some of the early negative reviews point strongly to the fact that these collectors or fans think that the Star Wars product world is geared solely towards their needs as a collector without thinking about a consumer who doesn't sleep in his 25 year old pair of Boba Fett Underoos every night. I am a huge Star Wars Collector and fan myself and I would ask the original critics of this DVD release who think that Lucasfilm is "CASHING IN" need to explore another possible motivation for this release.

Come on folks, this set sold at a lower price point, now with an SRP of $49.98 versus the $69.98 original release SRP, so that more people who maybe couldn't afford the first set or were perhaps on the fence as to spending that much money can now purchase this one.

Does that scenario maybe make a little sense over the conspiracy theory that LFL LTD is only trying to make money off of collectors?

Hey you can always wait for the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray versions.

Oh, I almost forgot, no one is forcing, no pun intended, you to purchase it either.

I don't know, this is only my opinion and I could be wrong.

This is an awesome book/toy.  I'm 37 years old and have been a big Star Wars fan since childhood.  My mother bought me "Obsessed with Star Wars" for Christmas; today is the 28th and I've already gone through almost 600 questions with a score of only 42%!  If you've watched the movies many times and think you know everything there is to know, you may be surprised.  Some questions are very basic ("In which robot were the plans to the Death Star hidden?") but others are incredibly specific ("How tall is Chewbacca?" in hundredths of meters).  Part of the fun is seeing if you can remember the answers to the tough questions the book has already given you.  It's not as easy as you think!  This book is very addictive and my entire family played with it together for about two hours on Christmas day.  My 14 year old son was especially enamored of it as he loves trivia and, of course, Star Wars.  I would definitely recommend this for any intermediate to hardcore level Star Wars fan; a very casual fan might become annoyed at the minutiae and some of the crazy, seemingly impossible questions.  I hope that this series puts out books for other TV shows and movie series as well as this concept is a lot of fun.

Note:  Regarding a past review, after 600 questions I have not found one mistake.  The book's answers seem very accurate to me.

Hysterical. A trip to the Lucas Ranch does not go according to plan for a group of adventurous Star Wars fans. Lots of laughs for those who aren't fanboys combined with gags that true fanboys hope for.

These are adorable. Anyone, young or old, who appreciates Star Wars and this type of cartoon style will really appreciate and love these.

These aren't the valentines you would buy at a general store.

Our Grandchildren were thrilled to see Star War. But at 5 & 7, I found they enjoyed this a bit more.

Bought for our 7 year old.  The themes are a bit dark and maybe too violent, but the drawings are excellent and the story is very appealing to a 40 something child of the star wars generation.  Love it.
