More than twenty-five years after the groundbreaking movie Star Wars: A New Hope first hit the silver screen, Star Wars remains one of the most beloved sagas ever told. Together, the three original Star Wars movies–A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi–told one epic: a heroic tale of innocence lost and wisdom gained, of downfall and redemption, of the never-ending fight between the forces of good and evil. Read the story of the movies–all three in one trade paperback volume–and rediscover the wonder of the legend that begins

Before we start this review I need to point out 2 things here. The first thing is that this book is a collector’s edition which involves novelizations of the original star wars trilogy. And the second thing is that I have already reviewed each of these novelizations separately just to keep things simple and somehow short, instead of reviewing each book in this review which would have easily become 10 pages long if I did everything in this review.

I wanted to read those Novelizations of the original star wars trilogy for a few years now, and when I saw this collector’s edition I immediately knew I had to buy it and read it. And now that I have read it, I need to say that this book is one of the better star wars books I have read so far this year (2026).

I already reviewed each of those novelizations in this book as I’ve said above, so I wont repeat it here. But what I will say is that reading this book and those 3 novelizations of the original trilogy was very fun. I personally were clued to this book and I had a very hard time putting it down because I was sucked into this book and just couldn’t stop reading this book. I personally had a lot of fun reading this book.

All of the Novelizations in this book had different authors of course, each of the books were pretty decently written but I need to admit that Donald F. Glut had done the worst job of all the authors of the novelizations in this book. 

My favorite novelizations in this book was of course the “return of the Jedi” since I always preferred that movie in the original trilogy even though “a new hope” have started my star wars obsession and made me a nerd.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
