Review: A book that will make "Star Wars" fans feel like Rebel spies - "Entertainment Weekly" film critic Anthony Breznican wrote one year ago that the difference between the "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" franchises is that "Trek" appeals to the head, while "Wars" appeals to the heart. "Star Wars: Death Star Technical Manual" definitely appeals to the head. Copiously illustrated with cutaway drawings, floor plans, diagrams and stills from the various "Star Wars" films, writer Ryder Windham explains in detail-without ever lapsing into technobabble and becoming boring-the Empire's ultimate weapon, including its onboard systems and controls. It also traces the Death Star's history from concept to a top-secret project that began in the time of the "SW" prequel trilogy, before the Old Republic's fall and the Empire's rise. (The Trade Federation's spherical warships, seen in "The Phantom Menace," provided the inspiration for the Empire's technological terror.) The book also covers briefly, toward its end, the unfinished Death Star II seen in "Return of the Jedi." With the impending theatrical release of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," "Star Wars: Death Star Technical Manual" is highly recommended as a Christmas gift for "Star Wars" fans. Holding this book in their hands, they may even feel like Rebel spies possessing the Death Star's design schematics.
Review: Very Useful for Death Star Owners - This is perhaps one of my favorite purchases, it includes thorough specs, guides and instructions for nearly every aspect of the Death Star, and it's served me very well in learning everything I can about the legendary, hulking non-moon space station that we all love so very much. Thanks to this manual I've finally gotten my own Death Star off cinder blocks in the backyard, and I am right on schedule with test firing the Ion laser. Only disappointment was the apparent lack of a labeled "low power" button nor does this manual contain instructions for taping planets back together after mass dispersal. P.S. How long will it take NASA to figure out Mars has vanished after my test fire date?
