A good companion book to the movie. ( )

Although this was published before the movie's original release, that shouldn't make a difference to the telling of this tale. This is the most unimaginative retelling I have ever read. There's nothing here that enhances the movie experience: characters' inner thoughts and feelings are barely touched upon (except, ironically, R2-D2's), something I look forward to when reading a novelization. Yes, it was published before the movie, but basically, the book is merely a "this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened, and then this happened" until the end. There aren't even any rich details about what characters look like, their surroundings -- so what if the movie hadn't come out yet?

Awful. And no surprise that he hasn't written any Star Wars novels since. ( )

Elfogult Fanok szerint is a legjobb rész, szerintem is. Bár irodalmiértéke vajmi kevés és filmként is jobb, látványosabb, ütősebb, de azért hazánban kötelező darab a '81-es kiadás. Érték. :-)
Ezt már moziban láttam... még abban az évben 147 db. birodalmi szondát lőttünk szana-széjjel az unokabátyámmal.

Ice planet panic.

Or, if you really don't know how this one goes that is possible evidence for alien life, as I am not quite sure where you have been to miss it.

The rebels are hiding out on a very cold planet when they are discovered leading to a pitched battle, evacuation, and reunion with an old friend for Han Solo, etc.

If you like the you-know-what you will probably like this too

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (novel)

Book description

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0345283929, Mass Market Paperback)

From the Rebels' defeat at the Battle of Hoth to the battle between Luke and Darth Vader, The Empire Strikes Back continues the story of Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, and the others as they struggle to overthrow the evil Galactic Empire. This abridgment of the classic story is complemented by nearly 150 two-color illustrations--based on images from the film--drawn by Brandon McKinney in a style reminiscent of comic books from the 1950s. Star Wars fans of all ages will be delighted with this beautiful little gift book. --C.B. Delaney
