The definitive exploration of the original trilogy
Star Wars exploded onto our cinema screens in 1977, and the world has not been the same since. In this XXL-sized tome, George Lucas guides us through the original trilogy like never before, recounting the inspirations, experiences, and stories that created a modern monomyth. Complete with script pages, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, and more.
After watching depressing and cynical movies throughout the early 1970s, audiences enthusiastically embraced the positive energy of the Star Wars universe 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 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.

1,000% AWESOME! A MUST have for Star Wars fans!!!
Buy this book now!!! 512 pages of non-stop photos and archives jammed packed with info even I never knew. I’m a Star Wars geek and have never seen some of these photos before! And all for under $30??? Hard bound, full color just slammed with info on how the original 3 films were made. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.The book comes shrink wrapped as the photos show. The printing is spectacular and flawless. This book is 9 x 6.5 inches but feels like it weighs 5 pounds.I could go on and on. I’ve seen A New Hope 100+ times and all the behind the scenes documentaries and there’s still stuff in here I have never seen nor knew about the making of the film. This book includes Empire and Jedi too!!!!This would make a great gift too. I would be more than happy receiving this.Kudos to everyone involved with making this book! Amazing job!!!!
