STAR WARS

Absolutely Everything You Need to Know

As a small child, the Star Wars movies were a central theme for me. I remember playing with my friend’s Star Wars figurines (which he had zillions of!!) during summer vacations when I was visiting my Grandparents. We played everyday, for almost an entire summer with those characters – outside having battles or inside if it was raining. Then I’d watch the movies on VHS at my Grandparents house, over and over.

I was happy when the new Star Wars movies started coming out and now my own children – although they have not yet watched a Star Wars movie – already know who the characters are and even talk about Star Wars with each other and their friends.

They were crazy excited when I pulled the 2 Star Wars books out of my review box (Thank you DK Canada!). Here’s a look at the other book we received: Ultimate STAR WARS Review
