2009 Star Trek alternate time line inquiry?
With the new movie out I have questions about what changes in the alternate time-line up until the recent Dominion war and such.I understand that the planet Vulcan has been destroyed, thus many Vulcans and that central core of culture is gone, if not seriously altered.What about Spock's mom? What effects The Art Of Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace did she have if she hadn't died in the shaping of the universe? Did she have any influences in any of the episodes as an ambassador? What about Spock, the old one being in that time even laying low, showing Scotty how to transport at warp. What else could he do to change future history?The present crew (in alternate reality crew) Spock and uhura may have children? What about Kirk needing to prove himself, not having a father. The enterprise itself looks a little more art deco, and rather than the classic line of phaser shot and off it sort of hurls shots like a gattling gun. What else will/has dramatically shifted between timelines that will project into the future???thanks

Rumor-mill has it that Laurent Bouzereau will be given a commentary track on the soon to be made Episode One DVD, let us hope he offers up the same insight and humor found in this written edition.
When I bought this at my nearby spaceport, I’ve been looking and reading it ever sinse. I’m a BIG star wars fan, and have been fascinated by the story line! Well, I’ve got to go to Jupiter! Read it! it’s out of this world!
This book provides a snap-shot of film-making at the end of the century. The story of Star Wars episode I’s crafting in 150 pages. Packed with detail. Short quotes from people involved, from cast to crew, pepper the text adding colour and information. Well illustrated, clearly told and attention grabbing. Thorough in its scope and ecomomic in language, good reading and eminently collectible. A suitable companion to Thomas Smith’s, Industrial Light and Magic: The Art of Special Effects (1986), which covered much on the special effects of episodes IV-VI. A contribution to the myth of Star Wars.
My poor son (nine years old)loved the photos and behind-the-scenes picture captions, but he was baffled by the text, which is really geared toward adults. But the LucasArts details were wonderful, and the myriad details and interviews were lots of fun. Read it with your kids, or give it to the teen interested in film-making, but if your little one haggles for this particular Episode One book, give it a pass.
Probably the best one in the Star Wars Art series, it shows a great amount of the concept art of what became the look of an entirely “new” Star Wars galaxy.
Forget the technological look of the original trilogy. The lavish look of the planets shown in the new movies started at this point. It was a more spectacular age for the galaxy and the paintings show it.
While it is certainly not McQuarrie, Chiang and the other artists do justice to his legacy.
Only the art of the original Star Wars can be compared to the scope and breadth of the art displayed in this book. After all, the other four episodes built upon what was already created for the Phantom Menace and a New Hope.
A must have for any Star Wars and fantasy art enthusiast.
Sellers are using this page to sell a book that is actually titled: THE ART OF STAR WARS EPISODE I: an excerpt of the book written by Jonathan Bresman. The ISBN matches this work, which is only 44 pages in length and was given away with the purchase of a VHS version of the Phantom Menace. The way Amazon lists this book can be misleading because they refer to it as the paperback edition in the review which claims it is a massive volume with over 600 illustrations. They are actually referring to another edition of the book… the TRADE PAPERBACK EDITION. This error has caused me a lot of fuss with two of the used book traders here at Amazon. Know that you are not buying the 200+ page oversize work with this webpage.
Forward by Doug Chiang. This volume (48 pages) contains an excerpt from the book written by Jonathan Bresman. It also contains concept sketches, storyboards and full color illustrations by various artists, among them Doug Chiang, depicting scenes and characters from the movie Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
From the preface: ” This book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the lengths the art department went in its construction of George Lukas’ universe. The evolutionary stages for each major character, vehicle, and planet are displayed so that the reader can get a sense of how the film was painstakingly sculpted, and finally, how a new style of filmmaking was founded.”
This excerpt focuses on how sketches combine and evolve in the development of ideas into the final concepts for characters and other elements in the film.

I would never have thought that I would stoop so low in nerd-dom and buy a book like this, but there is more to being a nerd than simply obsessing over your favorite fantasies.
I love Star Wars, hate the Phantom Menace. And yet way back when the VHS release was going on, I too crowded into a Media Play at 12 in the morning with my buddy and his wife to get my advanced Widescreen Collector’s copy. DVD has since come and taken away any significance to that item, but what did come along with it was a little booklet featuring excerpts from “The Art of Star Wars; Episode I.” For a long time this little booklet and I rarely parted, and I thought I was so priviledged to have this particular booklet and that it would one day be a rarity.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered THIS book, the actual Art of Star Wars. Not only does it have everything in my booklet, but it presents conceptual art from all corners of the movie. There’s so much to look at, and so much that is fascinating to look at, you can’t help spend hours just looking.
The book is hard-bound, with pages made from such high-quality paper, it will make you turn them with tweezers, they feel so expensive. The art is presented in chronological order with the film, so that reading it cover-to-cover is almost like watching the film. For most of the artwork, a little background information is provided in the corner next to a numerical key denoting which works belong to which artists.
As for the quality of reproduction; I am rarely satisfied when something I’ve drawn is scanned onto a color-copier, which often is the best option for reproducing them. I still lose something in the translation from pad to paper, a little bit of hue here, some shading here, depth of line there. However, in this book there is nothing lost. (Nothing is lost, or the originals must be stunning to look at!) The artwork shows you just why the movie relies so much on visuals (and not on strength of character or plot). Artists Doug Chiang, Ian McCaig, and Terry Whitlatch to name a few, are so skilled at vividness, their works immediately juice your imagination into action. Looking at concepts for space-ships, you can almost hear them fly.
The emphasis is on Doug Chiang and Ian McCaig, one a brilliant architectural and mechanical artist, the other a genius at characters and costumes. Whitlatch seems to handle most of the aliens, while gorgeous matte-paintings by Doug Chiang depict, in color, some of the more finalised concepts.
If you are a fan of Star Wars, this book is a must for any in-depth knowledge of how things developed behing the scenes. For film scholars, I would also recommend this book, for the glimpse it provides into the realm of pre-production, especially for you film scholars who have never set foot onto a film studio, or a design office.
For fellow artists, I can only say that these works inspire to improve my technique and work even harder at my art. It’s always the test of an artist when he runs into someone who is superior; does the work make you want to quit art, or make you want to improve? This stuff will make you choose the latter.
THIS GAME IS JUST AWSOME.

This was a very interesting game, requiring a joystick. I wanted to play it, but it kept freezing up on my year 2000 PC with much more than the stated system requirements, video cards, etc. Lucas Arts said I should try downloading some video patches that do not exist anymore (remember, my computer is years(?) beyond this product), but they warned me the patches could crash my computer. Gee, thanks for wasting my money.
Several years after playing through to completion, I was disappointed to find that Racer on the CD was completely unplayable on XP. Seems the changes in DirectX support between the old version 6 and the new versions left Racer unsupported, with some calls to the audio and video systems crashing the system on newer computers.
Thank heavens for the ability to search the web for answers. The LucasArts support page was unhelpful, but if you search around long enough, you will find a link to a hidden page at [...] on, of all places, Amazon’s UK site. I think diehard players and people unwilling to bother the folks in the UK will appreciate a way to bring Racer back to life on XP computers.
Anyway, with these two patch files, Racer becomes not only playable again, but brings a great racing game back into the fold. The graphics and audio hold up extremely well for a game that’s nearly 7 years old. Even now, this blindingly good game gets your whip-snap reflexes back into shape, and leave other racing games in the dust. The clever upgrading ability and multiplayer support stand out today even more clearly for being well ahead of their time.

I HIGHLY RECOMEND THE EPISODE 1 CLARANET SONG BOOK FOR 2 REASONS . 1 – IT HAS GREAT ,EASY-TO-READ MUSIC THAT IS FAIRLY SIMPLE TO PLAY, PLUS A CD THAT REALY HELPS ON THOSE TRICKY SONGS.2 – IT FIANALLY BRINGS THOSE SONGS WE KNOW AND LOVE TO LIFE. THIS BOOK IS SO GREAT, YOU’LL FIND YOURSELF HUMMING ALL DAY THOSE GREAT SONGS YOU NOW CAN PLAY ON YOUR CLARANET:] !
book is just what I was looking for. in great shape. and arrived in short order. will definitely use this seller again.
The Star Wars Episode I- The Visual Dictionary is great. It has amazing facts about Star Wars episode I such as all of the members of the Jedi High Council (which I was amazed to find out that there is another one of Yoda’s species on it, and her name is Yaddle, and she is young at 477), the species, name, and personalaty of the Trade Fedration leaders, every last detail of a Battle Droid and Droideka, Queen Amidala’s dresses and makeup and the reasons she wears them, the sea monsters of Naboo, Gungan warfare, why Jar Jar was banished, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Mace, and Yoda’s lightsabers, the Queen’s handmaidens, Darth Maul’s double-bladed lightsaber and speeder, and much more!
This is a great book and will provide hours of fun for any Star Wars fan (at least, it did (and still does) for me).
We have a 4 1/2 year old daughter obsessed with the Star Wars girls (Shaak Ti in particular) and this is good because it tells all about the different charachters, places, vehicles and robots of the movie in easy to understand, yet complete language.
Very good for the little Star Wars fan or anyone who would like to go a little deeper, but not THAT deep.
This book was interesting. It told of a lot of elements in the Phantom Menace movie like biographies of Anakin, Padme, and Darth Maul. It also went way beyond the movie and talked about things not mentioned in the movie. From shortened biographies on the Jedi Council members to looking inside a battle droid’s head, this book has everything any Star Wars fan would ever want. The photography is great and the pictures are labeled showing a lot of the parts of machines and lightsabers. This book is the bomb.
