I know you mostly discuss the novels, but it's well worth your while to wander over the the youth section of your bookstore or library and check this out. This is not the pop-up book of your childhood!
Each double page spread has a center pop-up, plus many smaller pop-ups at the corners, and sometimes pop-ups in pop-ups! It's amazing, and beautifully ("artistically") done.
But wait, there's more! On the page depicting the ROTJ duel, there are working lightsabers!
Possibly the coolest Star Wars book ever made!

Neat I will have to check this book out. I work part time at Barnes and Noble so it should be there. And it might be and even better way to get my daughter (2) into Star Wars even more!  |

I saw that book on The Colbert Report and I was wondering if you get pop-ups from all the movies? Or it it more about the original trilogy? And how many pop-ups are there?

There are 6 main double-page spreads with large pop-ups, and each of those pages has multiple smaller pop-ups. Haven't counted them all but the first double-page spread has four smaller corner pop-ups, including one pop-up under another pop-up. (You really have to see it to believe it!)
The content is all classic trilogy, with all three films more than adequately represented! Maybe if this one is successful, they'll make a prequel pop-up book! I'd vote to see the arena beasts in a pop-up battle!

 This is such a cool book,and the little lightsabers light up.I have the original Star Wars Pop Up book with C-3po and R2 on the front but this book is nothing like that,It's almost like origami of Star Wars,It's fascinating!
