Matches the Film nearly Beat for Beat
Unless you're watching the remaster, you will miss several specific scenes that didn't make the original cut. Quotes and lines were said differently in many places but that's an obvious when the film wasn't released yet and George Lucas (who had the book ghostwritten by Alan Dean Foster) produced a script of the film to his author.When you love the movie, you'll like the book. It gives more detailed "under the surface" emotions but other than some added scenes and characteristics, it doesn't add any more than that. It directly translates the film.

Yagyu review
The story that spawned the greatest sci fi universe ever. This was actually written and adapted by Alan dean foster who also wrote splinter of the minds eye. Lucas did the script but i like to think it was foster and ralph mcquerie who really brought the universe to life and created the actual look and feel of star wars.pros1: Its Star Wars! Nuff Said.2: Darth Vader!!! This was our first introduction to the ultimate Sith Lord.3: Star Destroyer! Who doesnt remember the first time they watched as a Rebel blockade runner slowly flew across the screen only to be followed by the massive warship the Star Destroyer.4: Deathstar! If you loved the giant ships like the Star Destroyer then the Death star will blow your mind.5: Luke Skywalker! I think this character touches within us all the sense of youthful restlessness and desire to accomplish great things.6: Han Solo! He always shoots first.7: More details. The book goes a bit more into things the movie may have brushed over and passed up.Cons1: Not written as a trilogy. Youll notice it when look is checking out and getting excited by his sister lol.2: A bit short. I would have liked a more fleshed out story and for them to include more from the radio drama.So there ya go. One of the best star wars reads out there. Not really much bad to say about it. Go read it right now!!!
G**!
A New Hope - how appropriat...
Well, when you pick up this novel for the first time, your heart and soul leap for joy.What could be better than holding in your hands the start of one of the greatest stories ever told?Well, dont get too carried away. Sure the book is good, but just remember that the movie came first, so when you read this, you are reading the novelisation of a classic movie, and not the other way around.But buy it, read it, and keep it.Then pass it down to your kids.May the Force be with us all.:-)

The story that started it all!
I loved every moment of the book. As a major Star Wars fan, this little catalyst was the story and the adventure of a lifetime. There were a lot of scenes that didn't make it into the final cut of the movie but they were interesting to read about in prose. Some of the ideas and terms were a little dated but it all worked out in the end. A world, er, galaxy reminiscent of Flash Gordon, spaghetti westerns, mythology and samurai films, this is the true Star Wars.

Episode IV Novelization: A New Beginning
The novelization for all of the Star Wars books is great, but - just like the others - to gain a depth of understanding and detail about the Star Wars universe, reading the novels is necessary. While not particularly revealing compared to the Prequel novels, small details and other storylines are picked up in the novel. I also like the reading style of the books; it engages the mind and the imagination, and helps “slow” the story down from the often frantic pace of the films. I recommend getting the novelization for all of the films for these reasons.

Esta bien pero no desarrolla la historia
Es fiel a la película pero podría profundizar más en la historia, como hacen otras novelizaciones de la saga Starbucks wars
