This is actually a really neat book, for anyone who likes to get the backstage scoop on the actual actors and crew of Star Wars Episode II.

It's an oversize glossy book with full color pictures throughout, from this movie as well as earlier installations in the series.

The background on the actors and the crew is what really caught my eye. You'll find details on Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Samuel L. Jackson, Frank Oz, Anthony Daniels and many more.

The cool thing is that they don't forget the people with small parts either. You'll find out about Jimmy Smits as Bail Organa and Rose Byrne as Dorme. You even get the scoop on the CG characters like Jar-Jar Binks and Watto.

This book can appeal to people of all ages. If they are a genuine Star Wars fanatic, this is a valuable book for their collection.
