Description

Text and illustrations describe the characters and high-tech accessories from “Star Wars, Episode I : The Phantom Menace”
It doesn’t matter what you thought of Phantom Menace, you just have to love its visual effects and props. Episode I used to be absolutely radiant with special effects, making use of a few 2,000 of them, dwarfing that of previous Star Wars installments and even the CGI-happy Titanic with its now-paltry 500. And the low-tech effects, the physical props of Star Wars, have all the time been unbelievably detailed, from Luke’s scuffed-up speeder to Vader’s reasonably dinged-up helmet (don’t pretend you didn’t notice). Phantom Menace continues this tradition proudly, whether it is with Amidala’s baroque headgear or the intricately machined (and deadly) armament on a droideka.

A page-turning droolfest, Episode I: The Visual Dictionary stops the film and zooms in on all this eye candy. As he did with the first trilogy in Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary, creator-archaeologist David West Reynolds once again elucidates and itemizes with glee, combining witty, pseudo-scholarly prose with clear movie stills and excellent closeup photos of actual props and characters. Each and every personality and group of note gets its due in this well-labeled, picture-packed book, from the Jedi High Council to the podrace crowd to the sea monsters of Naboo. Craving a closer have a look at Maul’s double lightsaber? Wish you’ll want to tell a Neimoidian’s rank by the hat on its head? Need some ideas for filling out your podracer toolkit? This is the book for you. –Paul Hughes
