Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
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.

Want to get a battle-droid's-eye view of the inside of an AAT battle tank? Care to see what Darth Maul's hiding in the trunk of his sinister-looking Sith Infiltrator? You're in luck: the crew that brought us the super-cool Star Wars Visual Dictionary and the Incredible Cross-Sections for the first movie trilogy is back. Boy wonder archaeologist-author David West Reynolds has put together another Incredible Cross-Sections guide, this time pulling apart the vehicles and vessels in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. DK has mastered the art of making Star Wars fans drool, and this latest guide is definitely state of the art, opening up everything from Naboo starfighters to Trade Federation transports.
As always, Reynolds approaches the Star Wars universe with the respect and love of a fan, putting each ship in context with his characteristic friendly but scientific style. The clean chromium lines and meticulous wiring of Queen Amidala's Royal Starship reflect the order and honor of Naboo royalty; the flowing, shell-like details on a tribubble bongo sub show off the Gungans' organic aesthetic. The best ships, of course, belong to the bad guys: you can check out the secret weapons and cloak field generator packed aboard Maul's Infiltrator (which, we learn, has an "experimental" ion engine that will later put the I-E in TIE fighters), and the Trade Federation's droid starfighter and control ship get a full giant fold-out. From the "bunker-buster" high explosive shells spit out by an AAT to the flame emitter weapon on Sebulba's podracer, this inside-out tour makes all the stops you want it to. --Paul Hughes -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

The artwork and detail in this book is mind blowing. However, since few of the Episode 1 vehicles are as intriguing as the ships in the original trilogy, this book is slightly less interesting, in my view. That is not to say it isn't essential if you're into technical artwork or Star Wars as a whole. It's probably best to get them both, the older book and this new one. I have one question to DK, however: Where's the Star Trek cross sections book?

I THINK THIS BOOK IS MORE OF A GET-TO-KNOW-STAR-WARS-SHIPS. INCREDIBLE LIFE LOOKING REALIZUMS OF THE ACTUAL STAR WARS ACTION PLANES. YOU SEE THE FUEL TANKES TO TINY GISMOES. I THINK IT IS A PERFECT BOOK FOR BEGINING STAR WARS FANS.

I enjoyed the well done pictures within this book. I love blueprints and the like, so seeing this left me no choic but to buy it.

Excellent book
I loved this book. The only questionable part is the choice of vehicles. (I would have prefered to see droid, lightsabre or more podracer cutaways than Coruscant taxis and Naboo... Lesen Sie weiter...

Wow! Incredible artwork, good movie integration
The only thing I didn't like was when I saw the movie and the republic cruiser (first in this book) was only seen in three shots.
The book was astounding. Lesen Sie weiter...
