Editorial Reviews:

An exhaustively researched, definitive reference for Star Wars fans of all ages brings the world-renowned DK cross-sections illustration techniques to the Star Wars universe. The main ships are explored and cutaway to reveal the armaments, propulsion systems, armor, control systems, and other key aspects of each vehicle, from Han Solo's Millennium Falcon to Darth Vader's TIE fighter. Special features and hidden mechanisms, never before revealed, are described and illustrated in graphic detail. Together with Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary, these books comprise a definitive classic Star Wars reference library.

Summary: SW Cross-sections Eps. IV-VI
Comment: A fun look inside the beloved spacecraft of the Classic Trilogy of Star Wars movies, the book delves into the histories, relationships between, and (pseudo)science behind such iconic vehicles as the Millennium Falcon, the Imperial Star Destroyer, TIE fighters, X-Wings, the Death Star, Slave 1, and so on. A book of incredibly detailed cutaways and well-considered textual notes, this collection nonetheless feels a little thin and less detailed than the companion volumes created for the Episodes I-III, which possess a more premeditated backstory and are rendered in almost exasperating detail. In fact, the volumes for the Classic Trilogy and those for Episodes I-III could be said to warrant criticisms similar to the movies themselves -- the original films/volume feature a whiz-bang melodrama with exciting places and artifacts that allude to an unseen galactic history thousands of years deep, while the new episodes/volumes display the baroque details of thousands of years of galactic history and politics without the unifying resonance of a compelling drama to bring them fully to life. However, I would recommend all the volumes for children of all ages who like to dream and marvel over how things work, or might work, on Earth or in a galaxy far, far away.
