When it first acquired Star Wars, Marvel Comics wasn’t sure how to handle the property but came to appreciate it, assigning some of its top talent to the book.That show of appreciation continues here. Beginning with one of the finest adaptations ever (if not THE finest), “The Empire Strikes Back” by Archie Goodwin and the legendary Al Williamson does an incredible job of capturing the movie. My only complaint is the hand lettering Williamson prefers to do.TESB ends with something of a cliffhanger (Han Solo has been frozen in carbonite and handed over to the bounty hunter Boba Fett), a fact which would give migraines to most scripters. Rescuing Han is a priority for Luke, Leia and Lando (sounds like a law firm). How do you deal with the fact that the book CAN’T let the heroes achieve this (an event reserved for the next film which won’t appear for a couple of years), although they must try, without making it look like one failure after another?The late Mr. Goodwin does an admirable

    Having grown up listening to a 60 minute audio tape of Star Wars over and over, I expected the CD of Episode 1 purchased for my son’s 6th birthday to be of similar quality. I was sorely disappointed with length, quality and lack of significant movie dialog. The story is severly edited, probably less than one-half hour, and almost all narration with little in the way of sounds and dialog from the movie. Hopefully, someone will come out with a better audio version because this one leaves a lot to be desired.

    The CD consists of one track that lasts twenty minutes long – it could have been broken down into multiple tracks, but since it is so short, why bother?

    The music is recycled from the previous Star Wars triology and contains none of John Williams newer music. The same appears to be true of the sound effects.

    The dialogue taken from the movie is far too sparse, containing less than forty lines of short snipets that last but a few seconds (though this appears to be the only audio actually taken from the movie).

    Pictures in the book are also sparse, but capture a few good shots from the light saber conflicts.

    The style of the book is intended purely for children, but even my young nephew didn’t care for it – and he’s a huge fan.

    In short, this read-along-book should only be bought by the most-desparate and least-discerning Star Wars fan. Otherwise, you will be disappointed.

    p.s.- I did like the movie!
