Perfect for Star Wars fans
This book is absolutely delightful! The felt work images are amazing, and the words chosen to tell (or retell) the story are perfect. My grandson wanted to know why I hadn't bought it for HIM instead of for myself.

Great Intro to STAR WARS!
Perfect introduction to STAR WARS for young ones. Note: Luke does have a boo-boo on his face on one page - which initially worried my 2 yr old. (She'd turn away and close her eyes when we got to that page) It's not graphic, just a little cut on his cheek. We used it as a lesson about getting hurt.

Great pictures, one word text per page
The fiber art is amazing! Don’t Expect a story. Each picture has a simple one-word explanation. We use it to retell the movie story. Bought it for the photos of Holman Wang’s intricate felted sculptures. Genius!

Awesome books for toddlers
Awesome books for toddlers. My 2 young boys love it and know the Star Wars original saga even though they hadn't seen the movies and removes all of the "scary" or dark parts of the story line. I would love it if they released new versions for the 1-3 and 7 movies

I love all of these
I love all of these. The photographs are beautiful and where I have one kid starting in on learning how to read, the single word pages are brilliant. These are wonderful, bite-sized versions of the films and the whole family can appreciate them.

Great way to introduce Star Wars to younglings
Awesome, my 3.7 year old daughter is so into it - great way to introduce Star Wars to little kids (the movie is quite violent, so... wait for that later). I add a lot of commentary and characters to the single words. Cool prints of the epic yarns.

only viewable on Kindle-branded devices
I'm frustrated with this--it's apparently only viewable on Kindle devices. I only have a black-and-white Kindle--I use the Kindle app on my iPad for books with illustrations. It was in fine print on the product page that it wasn't viewable on all devices--but it also had the standard 'read anywhere with the Kindle app' language on the page.

As a needle felter myself I am so excited by the release of Star Wars Epic Yarns. These fabulous set of three books for children ( and Adults I might add having ordered myself all three books lol ) created by Jack & Holman Wang cover the stories of Star Wars A New Hope, Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Return the Jedi. Each book has very little written words aimed at using both the imagination of the Adult and young children to create the story from the amazing colour photos. Each photo shows a scene from the movie and is painstakingly created using real miniature sets of such good quality and detail they are worthy of real movie sets themselves. Each scene then shows several beautifully detailed needle felted figures. All the characters are stunning but I have to confess within the three books( there is also Star Wars and Star Wars Return of the Jedi) it was the Stormtroopers that as a needle felter are my favourite as they they are so perfectly 'felted' and really caught my imagination as to what you can achieve as a needle felt artist. As a Sci-Fi Geek myself I would recommend these as a 'collectors item' as well as a lovely item to give to your children/grandchildren/nieces and nephews. Here's hoping for more 'Star Wars' or Sci-fi adventures from these talented artists. All three books are available via amazon for very reasonable prices so it's worth buying the set. 'May the felt be with you!....always' If you love these books please also check out Jack & Holman's range of 'COZY CLASSICS' a range of classic stories such as my fav Moby Dick and Oliver Twist!

Love these books, as does my kid. Great quality construction and the images are fantastic. If you are a Star Wars fan, these books are wonderful.

Just a brilliant summary of one of my favourite films recreated in beautiful yarn based images. A great introduction for my daughter to Star Wars. Obviously there are spoilers leading to my dilemma over whether to skip the reveal of Vader's relationship to Luke so as not to deprive my little girl of that "noooooo!" moment when she watches it for the first time. I'm pretty sure I've got a while before I need to worry about that though! Love these books!!
