I thought the book was very enjoyable! A decent length, not too short for older readers such as myself but not too long for kids as the story was intended for. I thought the book had an accurate and detailed description of the events leading up to C-3PO and R2-D2 being purchased by the Lars homestead and meeting Ben Kenobi with Luke, in a simplified manner so that it was easier for children to understand but still not taking away the importance and emphasis of main events in the storyline. If I had one criticism it was that I noticed they said the line “R2-D2 was sad” a lot, like about 3 times, at least twice. I thought it was slightly inaccurate for some moments and R2’s feelings, but I guess it depends on the readers/movie watcher’s opinion whether or not they thought R2 was feeling the emotion of sadness in these moments, such as the author clearly did. I also thought the extra fact included about Leia’s dress being white was unnecessary and just added in for some reason, however I LOVED the artwork on every page. A ton of detail was put into every picture, including the wind blowing Luke’s hair even. The colors are bright and vividly beautiful. Lastly, I thought the story summarized this small part of A New Hope in a good direction leading accurately from point A to point B with the events very well. This story would be great for kids, and for adults it’s a super easy and relaxing read that will chill out and ease the stresses on your mind and body as you go through the short story, as an accurate portrayal of important moments in the Star Wars galaxy. The story also had a very overall positive vibe and mood to it.
