Summary: Great Artwork for Students of Film design or Star Wars Fans
Comment: I just got a great deal on this Portfolio today. I had never seen it before, in stores or even online. But I saw it at a store at a very low price so I picked it up. The packaging was great! It was in a beautiful chrome box. I wasn't disappointed at the contents either.
Inside are the twenty prints most of them are of Naboo and the Gungon's in particular. There was only one print of Darth Maul, which was a bit disappointing, but the art work is great. Although I had seen some of these pintings in the Art of Star Wars Episode I book, it was great to see them as larger prints. The size of the prints is "About" 24 inches wide by 12 inches tall give or take an inch, or two.
If you are a Star Wars Fan and appreciate the art, design and imagination that went into the Star Wars movies pick this up.

Summary: Excellent presentation, content slightly disappointing
Comment: I was looking forward to this collection of production art more than any other piece of Star Wars paraphernalia accompanying the new film. I have been collecting the production art produced by Ralph McQuarrie for the first three films since 1977, and have come to appreciate a certain degree of romance conveyed in the images. In this case, I found that generally the artwork was strangely lifeless. Watching the film, I found the queen, her ship, and young Mr. Maul to be the most striking and evocactive images in the film, however, the production art seems to focus more heavily on the Gungan design and environments. I was particularly expecting to see a known Chiang painting of the Queen's Starship on Tatooine. I found the contrast of the highly polished ship against the sand artistically evocative. This image was not included in this collection. Having said that, I enjoyed the Coruscant print very much, and it is matted and framed above my computer as I type this. The box, too, is an excellent stroke of design genius, incorporating the Flash Gordon-esque spirit of the Queen's Starship.
Although I am glad I bought this set, I felt it was important to those considering a purchase to illustrate that it is not as fulfilling as, say, the original Star Wars portfolio. I hope this is helpful.
