“5-Minute Star Wars Stories” is a lovely book to use as an introduction to the sci-fi genre。 This book compiles short stories (that, surprise, take about five minutes to read) that highlight important scenes throughout the Skywalker Saga of Star Wars movies。 The book begins with the depiction of a young Anakin’s most important pod race against his rival, Sebulba。 The events of this scene are shown through the eyes of Anakin, who is trying to win the race in order to help his friends repair their “5-Minute Star Wars Stories” is a lovely book to use as an introduction to the sci-fi genre。 This book compiles short stories (that, surprise, take about five minutes to read) that highlight important scenes throughout the Skywalker Saga of Star Wars movies。 The book begins with the depiction of a young Anakin’s most important pod race against his rival, Sebulba。 The events of this scene are shown through the eyes of Anakin, who is trying to win the race in order to help his friends repair their ship。 We then see Jedi Master Yoda in a lightsaber duel against his former apprentice, Count Dooku, as he fights to save his Jedi friends。 The stories continue through scenes from the prequel, original, and sequel trilogy movies。 Children would benefit greatly from reading these stories, as they contain the same themes as the Star Wars movies themselves。 We are shown instances of characters going out of their way to help others in their time of need, as well as being taught the value of family and friendship。 I would definitely recommend this book, as it is an excellent source of education, seeing how it could be used as a beginning reader book, in the form of entertainment。 。。。more

I gave this book a 4 star because there is many stories and not just one story, a thing it could be fixed on is that it has more pictures than words。 I would recommend this book to people who like Star Wars and Star Trek。

I read this book with my son for his "nightly" reading for school。 He is in 2nd grade。 It's pretty age appropriate, there were a few words that I had to help with。 Hes a big Star Wars fan so this was a fun read with him :) I read this book with my son for his "nightly" reading for school。 He is in 2nd grade。 It's pretty age appropriate, there were a few words that I had to help with。 Hes a big Star Wars fan so this was a fun read with him :) 。。。more

Just like the movies except way shorter for kids! Or adults。

Skyler Smith

This collection of short stories is perfect for young Star Wars fans。 The illustrations are charming and kid-friendly, and the stories are short enough to hold a toddler’s attention。 My young nephews adored it, especially the stories including Darth Vader and Rey。 Would definitely recommend。

They don't tell you the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise。 (It's not a story the Jedi would tell you。)My favorite part is the 5-minute duration of these Star Wars stories。 They don't tell you the story of Darth Plagueis the Wise。 (It's not a story the Jedi would tell you。)My favorite part is the 5-minute duration of these Star Wars stories。 。。。more

My kids love all things Star Wars stop they loved these stories。 I wish these stories connected the overall Star Wars saga better, but they were still good。

Erica

Me and my kiddo (who is too young to watch the Star Wars movies) both love this book。 Great artwork, and the stories are straight from the films--without the emphasis on the violence。

Mike Kennedy

Tori loved the short stories。 We took turn readings。 Good for short reads right before bed with kids。

Jodie

Picked this up to share with my nephew and he loved it! Always a good time when I get to share Star Wars with the little ones。 Great illustrations, nicely summed up plots in quick bed time tales。

It's fine。 I don't love the style -- "Luke was so happy his friend had joined the fight after all。" -- but my 6yo is enraptured and read them to himself on the bus commuting to school。 Every day。 For more than a month。What, I'm going to complain about that? Hardly。 It can't be high literature all the time。 We all deserve to keep a mental armest in the mix。 Anyway。 Five minutes for a grown up is about fifteen for him, and these are building his endurance。 That's not nothing。 It's fine。 Just don't It's fine。 I don't love the style -- "Luke was so happy his friend had joined the fight after all。" -- but my 6yo is enraptured and read them to himself on the bus commuting to school。 Every day。 For more than a month。What, I'm going to complain about that?

3。5 stars。 I wish this would have had some original stories in it, but it's still really cute。 3。5 stars。 I wish this would have had some original stories in it, but it's still really cute。 。。。more

My child loves the Avengers, Star Wars, and Batman。 We read one of these stories every night。 They are good short stories, but definitely get tedious after awhile。

Jerry

These are merely kid-friendly adaptations of scenes from the Star Wars movies。。。but with awesome artwork!

Luckytky

Illustrations are 👍! Gorgeous!

My baby loved the stories! Such a cute concept

What have I done!? How many times am I going to have to read this!?

I love these 5-minute Star Wars books。 I honestly think my kids lump all of them together and can't piece the timeline together and these stories are in a format that kid's can understand and stay interested in。 The pictures are really good and the the stories have caused more dialogue between us about the films and I think this book and its sequel have cause more interest in the Star Wars universe。 I have to recommend these to parents as they will really help your kiddo understand what there is I love these 5-minute Star Wars books。 I honestly think my kids lump all of them together and can't piece the timeline together and these stories are in a format that kid's can understand and stay interested in。 The pictures are really good and the the stories have caused more dialogue between us about the films and I think this book and its sequel have cause more interest in the Star Wars universe。 I have to recommend these to parents as they will really help your kiddo understand what there is to love about a galaxy far, far away。 There really is something for everyone in Star Wars, they just may not know it! 。。。more

A must for any Star Wars fan! The illustrations are gorgeous。

Becky Stewart

Rating it 5 stars per Joe’s request。

Jordan Proctor

Fun stories for my 4-year old。

Kristina Wise

Cute book that makes for good bedtime stories。

Cassandra O'Leary

A great, simple version of the Star Wars movies with nice comic book style illustrations, perfect for early readers。 My boy Mr 6 got this book for Christmas and we're already re-reading。 Great companion to the movies as well。 A great, simple version of the Star Wars movies with nice comic book style illustrations, perfect for early readers。 My boy Mr 6 got this book for Christmas and we're already re-reading。 Great companion to the movies as well。 。。。more

Read the abridged version, cute stories for kids, love the artwork。

Laura McLoughlin

Several good stories, but too many from the Episodes 1-3

Virginia

Cute book, short stories that are summaries of the stories we know。 I loved the artwork。 Makes a great gift for parents who are Star Wars fans。

Jessica

The stories go from Episode I all the way through to VII in chronological order, telling a couple of stories from each movie。 The stories are simplified for small children, but not to the point of being overly saccharine, and the art is fun: rather in the style of the Clone Wars cartoons。
