Description

A gloriously illustrated celebration of one of the greatest movies ever made, this exclusive behind the scenes book documents a piece of cinema history.

It is the true story of human endeavour and creativity that led to the production of one of the most outstanding and innovative movies of all time.

George Lucas spent nearly ten years bringing his dream project to life: a ground-breaking space fantasy movie.

It would be a swashbuckling sci-fi saga inspired by vintage Flash Gordon serials, classic American westerns, and mythological heroes.

Its original title: The Star Wars. The rest is history. Yet its production is a story as entertaining and exciting as the film itself.

Now, recounted in the words of those who were there, it is finally being told, for the first time.

During the years 1975 to 1978, over fifty interviews were conducted with key members of the cast and crew.

Remarkably these interviews have sat, undisturbed, in the Lucasfilm Archives for three decades.

Until now. The interviews are fresh, candid and – above all – more accurate than many other reported accounts.

George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, composer John Williams, legendary production designer John Barry, and a host of others share their fascinating tales of overcoming obstacles – storms, crises, technical limitations, high stress and bitter disappointment – while displaying real ingenuity, heroism and creativity.

Using his unprecedented access to the Lucasfilm Archives and this trove of never-before-published ‘lost’ interviews, photographs, production notes, factoids and anecdotes, J.

W. Rinzler hurtles readers back in time for a definitive look at the making of Star Wars.
