What is this magic?! I was so skeptical when I heard about these retellings of the classic trilogy, but this was fantastic! Bracken lovingly and reverently honors A New Hope and gives the die hard fan a glimpse into the minds and thoughts of Leia, Han, and Luke in many moments we never saw on screen. Fabulous.

Also, the packaging of this book is a nerd's dream. The Ralph McQuarrie concept art, both black and white incorporated into the text AND the full color two page spreads with MATTE finish are simply stunning. Buy this for anyone even though it is geared towards the 10 year old market. LOVE.

Also, bravo Bracken for correcting a huge error AND GIVING CHEWIE HIS MEDAL. The End.
