What Everyone's Saying about The Star Wars Rings"Let me start by telling you how excellent this book is. I had read previous iterations of the various Ring Theories, but Tomas wrote this book in such a way that makes it easy to understand and proves his points very well. He is filled with so much knowledge on story structure that I couldn't get enough" Jedi Temple Archives. "The Star Wars Rings will change how you view literature and film." LilBookLovers "If you are a Star Wars lover and a fiction writer, you should get this! Besides Star Wars, Tomas Pueyo Brochard introduced some other stories to show how this tried and true method of Rings can help your writing and plotting. At the end, there are many predictions about Star Wars. Wouldn't it be cool if the predictions were correct?!" Read Try Write "I couldn't drop the book. I was initially hesitant because I like Star Wars but I'm not a die-hard fan. But you don't need to be. This book is not just about Star Wars. It's about all stories and what makes them great. The author then applies those insights to Star Wars, making it at the same time easy to follow for a non-Star Wars fan, and deep enough to make the story patterns obvious from the movies." Patricia de Llano "I read a lot of material on narrative design and storytelling and I found this book immensely valuable. The kind of structure uncovered is really fascinating." S. Swistun "A fantastic, thought-provoking book" Pierre Djian "A page turner - full of hidden secrets, unravelling story patterns, and predictions about the new Star Wars movies" Amit Aharoni Don't wait.
