There are hundreds of pieces of conceptual art and beautiful paintings. It is apparent right from the start that George Lucas only hire the best artists for his movie.The art genre is science fiction. You’ll see a lot of concept art on cityscape, robots, planets, costumes, creatures, architecture, props and characters relating to the Star Wars movie. This book is all about art, you won’t see any movie stills.There are two versions of the book. The one with the movie script has 272 pages. The one I’m holding has only 224 pages.Design concepts are explained for the characters and set. There’s not much text but enough. The level of detail, effort and creativity displayed by the artists is simply marveling. This genre is really a playground for artists to explore with their imagination.For Star Wars fans, there’s no reason not to get this book. For artbook

Of the three original Art-of Star Wars books, this is the best, for it does not include the screenplay that the other two do, and instead has useful information about the production of the film instead. The only drawback is that many of the illustrations run across the center of the page, where the binding obscures a portion of the image, but this is fairly common in softcover of this type. Recommended for fans and serious film buffs alike.
This book is FAR superior to the other two “Art of” books in the original trilogy because it is actually an “Art of” book and NOT an illustrated screenplay. By publishing the script elsewhere (in numerous publications – the best being “The Empire Strikes Back Notebook” which had the script, commentary from Kasdan and Kershner, and tons of storyboard panels – try to get a copy), Lucasfilm wisely left room for the artwork and its accompanying explanatory text. The other two books, while providing plenty of fantastic eye candy, unfortunately tell you nothing about the artwork. It is a good sign that for Episode I, Lucasfilm has chosen to go with and improve upon the editorial model set by the “Art of Empire” book.
This book is the best in the Art Of Star Wars series, but has a few downfalls.
This book is filled with color photos, but the text that goes with the pictures hasn’t improved much. A good thing about this book, is the artwork is divided up into sections: HOTH, STAR DESTROYER, ASTEROID FIELD, DAGOBAH, BESPIN, REBEL CRUISER, and at the beginning of each section is about one and a half pages of text that describes how the “section” was done for the movie.
The “features” of the book such as the technique for the Imperial Walkers and Tauntauns to make them move, was included in the paragraphs at the beginning of each section, but really was poorly written. And the evolution of Yoda wasn’t even written in text at all. All it consisted of was pages of drawings that looked different.
The pictures are, as always, magnificent, and included photographs, drawings, sketches, paintings, matte paintings, and blueprints, although the blueprints are on two pages, and a portion of them disappear where the two pages meet. But the rest is great, and it is so amazing to see how real the matte paintings look!
All four and a half stars are for the great pictures, organization, and text, but the missing half star is due to the lack of text. The lack of text is the real downfall, but since the pictures are great, I don’t regret getting it. Especially since this is the only ART OF THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK book there is.

lots of sketches on environment, and outfits for the queen, its really cool art book to collect
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R9KNH7QB5301Z This art book is noticeably better that the already good The Art of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
This time round, even more details are added to the concept art. Most of the sketches are now coloured. As usual, the pages are filled to the brim with character designs, environment paintings, storyboards, sculptures and ships. All drawings are captioned by the individual artists on the idea they are trying to bring across.
In some ways, the character designs and sketches look better on book than in the movie. The environment paintings are just epic.
Included also, at the back of the book, is the full script for the movie.
This book is highly recommended to sci-fi artists, concept artists and of course Star Wars fans.
