This is a Christmas gift for my son and I was disappointed that the person who delivered it would bend it. Why not just leave it by n front door if it didn’t fit properly in my mailbox? 😡 on the flip side -The book itself looks cool and easy enough for beginners.

Music in the book was what I was looking for. But, it wasn’t in new condition. Had been spilled on. See photo.

My sons are year two piano players and lifelong Star Wars fans, so this book is great. It has a few tunes from the prequel trilogy (most notably “Duel of the Fates”), but the lion share of songs are from the classic Star Wars movies. The arrangements are fairly simple and still true to the music.

I'm going to start with 5 stars & I will update if needs be. I got my book today, & boy was I excited. I played piano as a teen very briefly. I learned how to read music for just the 5 finger stretch around middle C. This was enough for me to dabble, more off than on, throughout the years with beginner books. I want to enjoy the piano, but it is not my primary learning instrument. So my practice is just an enjoyable daily time out with a couple of songs.
I wanted to add too my dismally small collection of easy books, otherwise practice is going to be real boring real quick. I also wanted something that would familiarize me with lower and higher notes. I could already workout a limited amount of these notes, but this book, already, has me using them regularly. Working on the first song, is the challenge I needed. It is described as "Love Theme from episode ll." As I attempt to play it, I can feel myself becoming comfortable with more of the piano. I know the later films as I am a child of the original Star Wars, and a mum of children aged for the prequels. Even though my timing is pretty dreadful I can recognize parts of the tune, and I find the melody pretty enchanting. It is pleasing to the ears.
Of course, I just want to be able to play Darthvader's theme tune. However, that is later in the book, and that is really going to stretch me. Looks hard. I believe this to be a good book for those with some basic knowledge of piano & the desire to push their abilities. If this book were any easier the songs probably would not be so easy on the ears.
