This weekend I finally had time to sit down and dive into this massive book. It truly is a must-have for any serious Star Wars fan. There are so many photos I've never seen before- and I have a very respectable collection of SW books. I've only read a few sections of the text, but so far I've loved reading the anecdotes and minutia of the day-to-day filming. The best part about the book is that there appears to be no mention of the PTs or SEs - not even a hint or a footnote. It's nice to have one SW item that doesn't any PT or SE baggage attached (a rarity in recent years).

My only complaint about the book is that it's difficult to read without getting a crick in your neck. It's heavy, and I found it difficult to hold and to find a comfortable position to examine the book as thoroughly as I'd like (I guess that's where having the softcover edition would be and advantage).
