Ricky will be 5 years old in a few weeks and is already hooked on Star Wars - the movies, video games, and the toys. Since Mark and I are fans ourselves, it's kind of nice and lots of fun. I've decided to dedicate the next few posts to Star Wars & Star Wars the Clone Wars.Let me start off by saying that Ricky and Mark have spent countless hours playing the Lego Star Wars game (as well as Lego Batman and Indiana Jones but that's for another post).
We bought him this dictionary before Christmas last year and Ricky enjoys flipping through it and looking at the pictures while we read the captions to him.
Chapter one is the movie saga, chapter two is the Clone Wars, Chapter 3 is Specialist Sets and Chapter four is Lego mumbo jumbo - merchandising, etc. which is very cool to see.
What's interesting is that the book shows the history of star wars legos. For example, the entry for Slave I shows the set in 2000 (which looks very blocky) and then they show the picture of the exact same set in 2006 and it looks so much better. It shows how the Lego company redesigned and improved the star wars lego sets. You can see this difference throughout the book for the entries whose sets have beeen released and re-released.
The pictures of the legos are amazing and it's fun to flip through. Our dictionary came with a Lego Luke Skywalker figure. This book is a must-have for a young padawan.
