For example, the two-page spread on the alien warlord General Grievous includes not only pictures of the nightmarish cyborg in action but also diagrams explaining how he can dislocate his shoulders and split his arms in two in order to wield four light sabers at the same time; detailed schematics of his energy staff and blaster (the Blastech Custom DT-57 Annihilator); and a brief history of how and why he became transformed into a cyborg.With Jedi knights, battle droids, alien cyborgs, clone troopers, and exotic technology and weaponry galore, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith -- The Visual Dictionary is an absolute feast for the eyes. This book will be cherished by Star Wars fans of all ages. Paul Goat Allen
