About this title

Synopsis

Discover the real secrets of Star Wars: Episode I in this new Incredible Cross-Sections book. Here the inner workings of its key vehicles and spacecraft are vividly revealed. In search of utter authenticity DK flew their top cross-sections artists direct to the Lucasfilm headquarters at Skywalker Ranch where they worked in the film production art department. There the DK team was able to map out the anatomy of each craft as it was created using the original concepts as reference. The resulting large-scale 'exploded artworks' are authoritatively complemented by David West Reynolds' in depth text data files and detailed annotation on each craft presenting a complete comprehensive and artistically remarkable work of reference for all Star Warsfans.Dr. David West Reynolds has also written five Star Warsbooks including Dorling Kindersley's best-selling Star Wars: Incredible Cross-Sectionsand Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary. Richard Chasemore has worked as an illustrator in the USA and Europe on a great variety of projects including the best-selling Star Wars: Incredible Cross-Sections. He enjoys perilous sports involving boards and high velocities. Hans Jenssen specializes in technical art and particularly in machines and has illustrated several Dorling Kindersley books including Star Wars: Incredible Cross-Sections with Richard Chasemore. He lives in England but spends his vacations in Tatooine engaged in moderately disreputable pursuits.� 1999 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All rights reserved. Used under Authorisation. www.starwars.com

Review

The vehicles and spacecraft of Star Wars that we've become used to are quite different in Episode 1. The Old Republic still rules the galaxy and craftsmen still rule the world of design. We therefore find art nouveauesque submarines of the Gungan--a civilisation hidden within the swamps and lakes of Naboo. Perhaps the most artistic place in the galaxy, Naboo's inhabitants' clothing, cities and spacecraft are beautifully designed. In contrast, The Republic is no longer the glorious government of free peoples uniting the galaxy and their spacecraft appear more factory-made and less crafted. Similarly, the Trade Federation's insect-like vessels are futurist in design. David West Reynolds is a Star Wars authority. His last book Incredible Cross Sections showed brilliantly detailed plans of all the Star Wars spacecraft. This book does the same thing for Episode 1 in 14 unbelievably detailed cross-section artworks, including a gatefold cutaway of a Droid Control Ship. The encyclopedic information which accompanies the beautiful pictures provides information on the smallest detail of the crafts. This book is the perfect Episode 1 accompaniment book.
