Besides breaking down the armour and weapons that each race wore, it takes the main charcters that were in story and shows what they used and carried.

Along with Brian Sibley's "The Making of the Movie Trilogy" (released in 2002) and the "Art of" series, this is one of those books that you will want to keep and refer to again and again. It is one of the...
