Reviews

[Dimitris Papastergiou · Rating 1 out of 5]

Set in 32BBY

Unreadable. I don't ever again want to read about Gungans. Especially the way they talk.

[Shawn Fairweather · Rating 2 out of 5]

Yet another take of the Phantom Menace storyline. Redundant in many ways, but The Phantom Menace era is known for that of course.

[Ruth · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute kid's story told from the point of view of Boss Nass. While it is told from his view there isn't too much "Gungan" language and the few words that are used are explained at the beginning of the book.
There are various activities to be completed throughout the book and suppose to be stickers to place on various locations of the book, but the stickers for my book were missing :(.
The story begins with the Jedi's appearance in the city of Otoh Gunga and goes through the battle of Theed. Gives a little bit of information on the Gungan's hiding that isn't shown in the movie.
Excellent illustrations throughout the book.
