Description: Star Warsexploded onto our cinema screens in 1977, and the world has not been the same since. After watching depressing and cynical movies throughout the early 1970s, audiences enthusiastically embraced the positive energy of the Star Wars galaxy as they followed moisture farmer Luke Skywalker on his journey through a galaxy far, far away, meeting extraordinary characters like mysterious hermit Obi-Wan Kenobi, space pirates Han Solo and Chewbacca, loyal droids C-3PO and R2-D2, bold Princess Leia Organa and the horrific Darth Vader, servant of the dark, malevolent Emperor. Writer, director, and producer George Lucas created the modern monomyth of our time, one that resonates with the child in us all. He formed Industrial Light & Magic to develop cutting-edge special effects technology, which he combined with innovative editing techniques and a heightened sense of sound to give audiences a unique sensory cinematic experience. In this first volume, made with the full cooperation of Lucasfilm, Lucas narrates his own story, taking us through the making of the original trilogy | ?? Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI Return of the Jedi | ??and bringing fresh insights into the creation of a unique universe. Complete with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters, this is the authoritative exploration of the original saga as told by its creator.

Review: Says on the cover it's the definitive story behind the films. Well no, it isn't. That's the Rinzer trilogy. All this book does is remind you how perfect they are. This book is dull, lifeless and full of rewriting the history of the films via lengthy recent sycophantic interviews with Lucas. Lucas loves to self-mythologize. If only he were consistent. Watch the DGA interview with Chris Nolan and he says he invented the use of the roto-motion-control camera. Read this book and he says it was Joe Johnston. The pictures often have no relation to the text. They're often bland because all the good ones are in the Rinzer books. Also nitpicking but, I notice Leia in Return of the Jedi section is shown fighting with spear when pictured in slave outfit, I guess because Disney feel it's aged badly. The caption reads, "Leia fights to free her love". What's not mentioned, and you'd think it would be, is that the scene was cut from the movie. That's this book. Read the Rinzer ones instead.
