Elven Star is the second volume in the series of seven that comprise The Death Gate Cycle. It follows Dragon Wing (The Death Gate Cycle, Book 1), which takes place in the realm of air and precedes Fire Sea: The Death Gate Cycle, Volume 3 (A Death Gate Novel), which takes place on the realm of stone. Oddly, the cover of Volume 1, the realm of air, was red, while Eleven Star of the realm of fire has blue artwork.Pryan, realm of fire, has four suns, which corresponds to the four realms the Sartan fashioned. The suns shine constantly. It is thick with vegetation and a surface rarely seen or visited. On this sundered world the plot initially revolves around the elves, but ultimately the humans and dwarves and their joint interactions becomes the essence of the story. Haplo, a powerful Patryn, is here and seeking clues and fomenting despair. The equally powerful Sartan have gone missing. Adding to the mystery is the human wizard Zifnab whose accompanying dragon is a puzzling catalyst to the
Why didn't the Empire put the shield for the second death star ON the death star?
So that it would protect itself instead of having to be protected remotely on some moon.star wars is pretty stupid, isn't it?oh, defensive fanboy alert. and he has death star Death millions of followers to ensure that he is right by providing sheer numbers of people who think the same.it might have still been under construction, but that was purely cosmetic, as we were told that it was fully operational. I just don't get star wars shield physics. you can't shoot at the shield, but you can shoot at the shield generator, which in the case of a star destroyer is inside the shield itself.also, is a star destroyer able to destroy the death star, or a star wars?

The book is great. The authors make you care about the characters and it’s hard to put it down – I agree with some reviewers that the beginning is little bit slow…but later the pace is picked up. Also as I read the book I noticed that I did not want it to end…the reading process itself gave so much pleasure.
This book was hilarious! Zifnab? Oh, come on! It’s freaking Fizban for crying out loud. Weis is a Goddess. She can write some of the funniest awesome. Zifnab (Fizban) and his easily offended dragon made the book. I actually had to buy this one, ya’ll.
One of the great book series available. I am a DL fan, but this series is better and short and sweet with 7 books. All were good without other authors to ruin anything.
This was much better Dragon wing, but I got bored. The wizard character was the most entertaining and I’d like to see a series based on his character. I feel no desire to keep going with the series.

I was very excited to hear that George was releasing the original cut on this “special edition.” Then I read the reviews and stayed away. I just rented this edition because my 9-year-old wanted to see it. I tried the 1977 version, and it wasn’t as ugly as I was lead to believe. I have a hi-def widescreen tv and adjusted the picture size without distortion, and yeah, it was a little grainy but isn’t that better than seeing it with the added Jabba the Hut scene and the unnecessary creatures? And Greedo shooting first. I am going to buy it now, I miss the original Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back…I will take it any way I can get it.
This is the first Star Wars film. The dialogue is very funny, the special effects are great, the costumes of the aliens are great and there is lots of action.
The movie has a fine performance by Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan Kenobi. He’s the only really serious character in the film and he gives it class. The hero of the film is Luke Skywalker played well by Mark Hamill.
The movie starts with a powerful camera shot from underneath a Imperial Star Destroyer chasing a smaller Rebel ship. This hooked me into the movie. In the rebel ship is Princess Leia who is putting information in the database of a droid called R2D2. Princess Leia is played by Carrie Fischer. Carrie Fischer is actually a beautiful and intelligent woman but they give her a funny hairstyle in the movie so, unfortunately, you can’t tell. The droid R2D2 and another droid C3PO exit the craft in an escape pod which falls to the surface of planet Tatooine. Princess Leia is knocked out by a blast from a blaster set at stun and is taken prisoner by Darth Vader who will stop at nothing to accomplish his mission.
James Earl Jones did a great voice over for Darth Vader. I also liked his performance as the villain Thulsa Doom in “Conan the Barbarian”. Darth Vader’s costume is also really cool and I would definitely say that Darth Vader is one of the best villains in movie history if not the best. He’s portrayed as a greatly to be feared ruthless imperialistic general and hunter of rebels with a touch of Jedi mysticism. The other great imperial villain in the movie is Grand Moff Tarkin played by the great actor Peter Cushing.
The two other characters in the movie are Han Solo and Chewbaca. Han Solo, played by Harrison Ford, provides a lot of laughs. His arguments with Luke Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi are really funny. He’s a smuggler who has run-ins with the Empire and has a price on his head for a gambling debt owed to Jabba the Hut. He hangs out with Chewbaca, a tall alien covered with fur, and has no obligations to anyone and looks out for himself.
The film culminates with a great space battle with imperial and rebel ships flying and shooting at each other all over the place. The part where there is a first person view of an X-wing going into a trench of the Death Star had me hanging onto my seat.
Overall, this movie is science fiction at its most exciting and funnest and I recommend it greatly.
Speaking of hope, one would hope the same care that was given to the THX re-mastered version in VHS [no less] might have been given to the transfer on DVD.
-help us, Lucas, you’re only hope. . .
I think nostalgia is clouding your judgement… Do you really think that the aliens in the cantina for example look more realistic than the Navi in Avatar or that Bespin looks more realistic than Minis Tirith in Lord of the Rings?
It all comes down to how the effects are used. That has not changed one bit since the days of the original Star Wars. There was a hell of a lot of movies in the seventies and eighties with atrocious special effects done practically. Just as there are a lot of movies today with atrocious effects done digitally.
Do you think those old movies with stop motion dinosaurs looked more realistic than the T-Rex in Jurassic Park? That those old Titanic movies that sunk a model boat looked more realistic than the sinking in James Cameron’s movie? That ‘The Sands Of Iwo Jima’ had more a realistic looking war than ‘Letters From Iwo Jima’?
“I’m sure you can think of some, like the new King Kong or Spiderman Trilogy, if anyone thinks that crap looked real you need your vision checked.”
Yeah, because the stop motion puppet in the 1933 King Kong and Superman hanging by wires in front of a green screen were sooooo much more realistic.
The problem is not with modern effects. The problem is that now that anything can be done easily and simply using CGI they have a tendency to go way overboard to the point where it doesnt look real anymore. When they were doing things practically they were forced by necessity to keep things grounded.
star wars episode III revenge of the sith is the greatest movie in the world the greatest movie of the 21st century and the soundtrack is just as good buy this soundtrack you wont be sorry
The music is great, as you’d expect from Star Wars. However, what really sets this appart is the bonus DVD that has music-videos of around 6 star wars songs. The DVD includes intros and comments from Anthony Daniels (C3PO). I purchased this for the DVD alone, it’s a great buy.
the score to the final star wars film, is, actually, my favorite of all six. i heard that it would be released with a bonus disk.as you can guess, i was enthralled. a BONUS DISK? WITH MORE MUSIC? AWESOME!!! you can tell my dissapointment with the DVD. Is it a great addition to the soundtrack? Yeah, Sure. But in my opinion, i think more music shoulda been on the soundtrack instead of the DVD. Now, don’t let that stop you from getting this. the score on the album is amazaing. DO get this item. Let’s hope for a Complete Score Of The Prequels, Much Like The OT. I’m getting quite impatient as there is great music left off the album.Hopefully..It’ll come soon.
Four years ago, John Williams reached a pinnacle (again) with STAR WARS EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH. Standing on the debatably smaller steps of PHANTOM MENACE and ATTACK OF THE CLONES as well as the mighty shoulders of the original trilogy, John Williams managed to bring it all together in harmonious union.
Along with some captivating new themes.
The vocal arrangements combined with the ominous tones of Anakin’s betrayal, the fall of the Jedi, and the destruction of the Jedi Temple are beautiful yet very haunting. Nothing like this has ever been heard on a Star Wars soundtrack. And I’ve heard nothing more intense than the “Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan” theme. Track 12, “The Immolation Scene” provided a melodic but somber mood, somewhat of an echo of another piece John Williams composed also called “Immolation” on the soundtrack to SCHINDLER’S LIST.
Also with SITH, much more so than the two previous scores, John Williams has done a wonderful job of blending old familiar themes (especially from the original trilogy) with the new. Examples include Track 9, “Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan,” Track 14, “The Birth of the Twins and Padmé’s Destiny,” and Track 15, “A New Hope and End Credits” along with a couple of others.
As noted on the liner notes of PHANTOM MENACE, there were musicians in the London Symphony Orchestra who went into music because they loved the Star Wars score so much when they were kids. Now they’re performing this music on an actual soundtrack. There must have been at least a few of those same people performing on REVENGE OF THE SITH. And I like to think there were a few of the old-timers there as well. That’s one of the most wonderful things about this music: it transcends generational barriers.
What a grand union of perspective! And what a grand reunion of memorable melodies.
