Star Wars - yes!
I bought this book for my 14-year old nephew, who is a huge Star Wars fan. When I went to visit, I could tell the book had already been used alot!

Great Star Wars Arrangements!
I bought this Star Wars Piano Book for my 10 year old son who is at the intermediate/advanced level of playing. He had lost his old one in the flood we had. He loves the book! The level of difficulty is challenging enough, but not so hard he has to struggle. The music arrangements are very lovely and sound professional. We are both very pleased and would recommend this book with the highest regards.

"I Believe in 'Star Wars!'
"I have alway's loved Star Wars, especially the music of John Williams. It finally comes to life in this piano book. The adapted music brings the feeling and the excitement of 'Star Wars' to you when you or someone else plays it. Scores, such as the "'Star Wars' Main Theme" and the "Imperial March" are both successful adaptations in this book. I love Star Wars!

Not bad, could be better
I've been a star wars fan for as long as I can remember, and as a musician I've always admired John Williams' work on the films. This book is great if you're looking to play some of the music from the movies on piano, but I'd been hoping for a transcription of the original orchestral scores (particularly the Imperial March). I was disappointed in that what this book has are simplified reductions of the main themes. The original Imperial March is about 3 minutes, 100+ measures. The version here is only a couple pages, maybe 30-40 measures, fairly simplified, and as a result leaves out much of the driving rhythm of the original. C'est la vie...if your expectations are not transcriptions, then this book is great. [...]

Finally a music book that lives up to the film. Fantastic to play, really gives you the sense of star wars. Difficulty varys from intermediate to a more advanced level. They've difenately selected the best pieces, nothing is missing, if your a fan of star wars you MUST HAVE THIS BOOK!

Star wars rules
This captures that adventure that many writers love. This also makes the movie as famous as it is.

Translates well from Orchestra
While I still haven't been able to find a version of the main theme that satisfies me for solo piano, most of the songs were transcribed very well; a few, like "Luke & Leia" and "Parade of the Ewoks" are quite challenging. The only other flaw is that "Cantina Band" sounds little like the real thing, in my opinion

Star Wars is the best!
I also really love Star Wars, so I had to get the book too. It was great, and I've had a lot of fun playing my favorite Star Wars-songs. Some of it is more difficult than the rest. With a poster, and pictures inside the book... :)
