![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes I did pay full price for this one $399. You gotta admit, that is some seriously cool bonus material right there. You get the actual leftover fabric from the production in your little booklet. Each set of swatches were chosen randomly and you might get a tunic or cloak or trouser fabric swatch from your favorite characters. But the real beauty of the book is that each buyer gets a set of swatches that are mixed into the fantastic photos and though no two sets of swatches are identical, your book is absolutely unique from the next guy's book. Yes it is heavy in the prequel fabrics because it's author is of course Trisha Biggar, prequel costume designer. The swatch book has a fantastic accordion folded booklet that has individual fabrics from all the films included. The other cool inclusion in the deluxe version is a fabric swatch book. I know, not so impressive if you are not a prequel fan, but a novelty nonetheless. There is an actual Wookiee belt buckle prop inside the book cover that is cast from the mould used in Episode III. It also has an impressive clamshell cover and includes some sweet extras in addition to a very nice chronicle of all things SW Costumes from the entire saga. This one approaches the subject material in the same style as the Modeling The Galaxy book.
