Description

From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the half-man/half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. In 1999, creator George Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and becoming more machine than man. After driving the development of nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever before. He created the first digital blockbuster, and met fierce resistance when he pushed for widespread digital cameras, sets, characters, and projection – all of which are now used throughout the industry. He essentially popularized the modern way of making movies. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel trilogy — Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the Clones, and Episode III Revenge of the Sith — and features exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators. The book is profusely illustrated with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters. Read more

  • Nice quality book
A lot of books out there disappoint. Not this one. I love the quality, content and overall look of the book. I can’t wait for the next one for Episodes 7-9. I hope they don’t take too long.

  • Star Wars Fans
When I saw Star Wars for the first time in 1977 I was addicted. Now as a older adult both of my boys are just like me with all the spin offs. I bought both editions of this book. Not only for the background but in depth insight. It has further enhanced my knowledge and excitement about what the next journey will be. Always a good choice to give as a gift. ... show more
