Summary
|
|
If you, your spouse, or your child liked the Star Wars Episode 1 movie, then this CD will provide many hours of entertainment. While this is not an educational title, it is ideal for trivia fans and those wanting to learn more about how the movie was made. I found having my son explore the CD was a welcome change from having him charging around the house with his light saber. It's also helped answer many of the questions he continually asks me about the movie. Overall, it's well done, informative and has a hilarious ad by Watto (path: Vehicles - Podracers - Watto's Podracer sales).
