Summary: My 30-year-old brother loves it
Comment: I bought this for my brother for his birthday and he loved it. He has been obsessed with Star Wars since we were kids, and he loves trivia. This was perfect for him, because he can do it by himself as opposed to other trivia games that require 2 or more players.

Summary: Nice, but Expensive
Comment: I tried it in the bookstore and was surprised at how fun it was. It keeps track of your score electronically sending you throughout the book to find the next question to answer.
A lot of the questions are extremely obscure and I wonder how canon they are. Of course, most question can't be answered from simply knowing the movies. I've got my own ideas for that book!
The only down side was the price (and what drops it down a star). The book's a coffee table book with a little computer gadget, so I guess that's where the price comes from. Still, I wouldn't pay that much, but I wouldn't mind it as a gift.

Summary: A lot of fun for the Hardcore and Casual fan
Comment: Whether you are a hardcore or casual Star Wars fan, you will certainly enjoy this book. It's not a book that one read, necessarily, but rather, a book that one "plays with." There more than enough questions to keep you entertained for quite some time. Some questions are obvious, others are challenging, yet fun to think of the answer. And yet others are more like "I've never even HEARD of this before!" The last set of questions are more for fans that, not only are VERY familiar with the movies, but also much of the literature set in this 'galaxy far, far away.' Literature such as novels and comics.
With the small, yet fun little computer 'thing-a-majig,' if you don't know the answer, it will tell you each and every time. It also keeps track of your percentage of correct answers.
It's a lot of fun that you can have either by yourself, or with friends. I highly recommend it!
May the Force be with you!

Summary: Fun, challenging and educational
Comment: I have to admit that I am *not* obsessed with Star Wars. I've seen Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi a few times each, but the remaining films only once. I haven't read the comics or books, either. So, I went into this expecting to have my light saber handed to me.
That being said, I still had fun with this interactive trivia book. It's electronic scoring module starts in random question mode, which selects questions from anywhere in the book. You can also change the module so that you choose which questions to try. Much better for someone like me who is "familiar with star wars".
The questions range from easy (what color is Obi-Wan's light saber?) to downright difficult. So, I think all fans will find something they like. After a few questions that were obviously from the movie that I got wrong, I wanted to go back and watch the movie again to see what I missed.
This is a great gift for a Star Wars fan. 2,500 questions will take A LOT OF TIME to get through (maybe 18 hours or so) so it's a good value for $29, even better if you get it here for a discount. The batteries are replaceable, so you can use it as long as you'd like. I am only partially through it.
