Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide, Terry Whitlatch and Bob Carrau offer a faux naturalist's sketchbook of the fauna born of George Lucas and co.'s considerable imagination: the spot-light sloths of the Dagobah Rain Forest, the Peko Pekos of planet Naboo's Gungan Swamp, the gas-filled Beldons of Bespin, which can achieve a girth of 10 kilometers, and a host of other fantastical creations populate this delightful large-format book. Drawings on every page are substantiated by salient pieces of information about habitat, habits and danger-factor.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful illustrations. A little pricey at list price,
By Michael L. Dennis "mitchdennis" (West Des Moines, IA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide (Hardcover)
The Wildlife of Star Wars is a Audubon-like field guide to the creatures and species of many of the classic and episode I-II planets.The illustrations are lavish watercolor-type drawings including several views of each creature--parents with their young, face on, running in their environment, etc. Some include internal drawings of internal systems. Text is somewhat sparse, but I do feel that too much text would have drawn the attention away from the superb illustrations. Drawings are extremely well done, but the list price seems somewhat high. The cover and backing look quite sturdy and the pages are of high quality paper. ....

Whitlatch is a genious.,

This review is from: Wildlife of Star Wars (Paperback)
As an artist working in the visual effects industry I found this book an absolute inspiration.Terryl Whitlatch's illustrations are deceptive - in this time of computer-aided concept art she brings pencil and paint drawings to the table, and at first look one might think these are more childlike than the usual photoshoped fare. Not so. Terryl's knowledge of animal anatomy shines through every creature. Each and every drawing could be made into a model that works, design-wise and function-wise. She is a true master of creature design, and peppers the pages of this book with poignant narrative highlights. The Bantha suiciding off a cliff, the Krayt dragon digging up a Sarlacc and dragging it away, and many other pieces have to be seen to be believed. Any Star Wars fan will find this book simply incredible. 5 stars.

I own the 2005 edition of this book. It was extremely successful with the children. Large and detailed and colorful images, lots of explanations. A lot of fun.
