I am doing these as a common, dual review.  Why?  Because I have the same things to say about both.  These are very strongly geared toward young children.  Mainly children struggling to grasp the movies and their themes.  While the age group was fine, if still offers no new content.  I tried reading these to some youngsters (wanna -be padawans) and they Kept saying things like "I know that" and "I saw that in the movies."  No one seemed to gain any insight from these and that was disappointing.  For their sake.  

 

However they all like the images and some lightsaber and weapons/ship details.  While they had the basics, this was the one area the books offered extra info  All pictures were clear and crisp.  Mind you, most were images straight from the movies (how wrong can you go?).  Still, the kids had more fun just looking at the pictures and sharing their own tales.  The info these books provided did not keep their attention.

 

All, in all, an okay book to maybe check out from the library but not worth the cost for personal collecting in my opinion.
