About this product
Product Information
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.Product Identifiers

The Ultimate History Of Star Wars
Published in 2007 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of Star Wars, this book documents the creation of the film. Everything is covered, from the initial drafts of the script, right through the production and release in May 1977. This is a fascinating read, one of the best books about cinema. As well as including rare archival interviews, discovered in the vaults of LucasFilm, this is handsomely designed and lavishly illustrated, including concept art, storyboards and matte paintings. The author's meticulous research displays an amazing level of insightful detail and delivers a comprehensive and honest account. J W Rinzler sadly passed away recently, I could list a dozen other films that I would have loved to see him write a making of book about. The Making Of Star Wars is a definitive work, truly excellent and a must have for fans.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
