The book is part of DK Publishing's series of LEGO Star Wars books. This book focuses on the Sith, the dark side of the Force characters. It gives a quick tour from the Sith Era to Return of the Jedi.

The book is arranged in short sections within three chapters (Republic Era, Clone Wars Era, and Empire Era). We get some text and some excellent photography in playful layouts This being a book for young readers, it also features some cute light humor. The photos feature sets, vehicles, and characters. You also get some diagrams, and a even a flowchart so you can see what kind of Jedi or Sith you might be.

On a side note, if you buy the book, it should come with a mini-figure. 

Overall, it is a cute book with fun for all ages. If you like LEGOs or Star Wars or both, this is a book for you. I really liked it.

4 out of 5 stars.
