The Chicago Tribune
“If you can pick one up, you should.”

“Something like Star Wars is at least 10 times as much work as any other movie because of the breadth of ideas that have to be put into creating an entire world at all levels—from cultural to physical, it’s very difficult.”
George Lucas
“This book is without a doubt not only the best Star Wars product since the first Archives book from 2018 but also the best book about the prequels ever… it gets my highest recommendation.”

May the Force Be With You
Volume two of the definitive exploration of the Star Wars galaxy
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.

An Amazing book!

Maravilloso libro en todos los aspectos menos uno.

Borja,February 9, 2022
No tengo nada malo que decir de la presentación y la calidad de este ejemplar (a la altura de su antecesor), salvo que no incluye el maletín de cartón negro que sí tenía la edición de la trilogía clásica y que aquí ha sido sustituido por otro de peor calidad y calor marrón. Una pena porque el maletín es una solución maravillosa para evitar que se deteriore y, por supuesto, facilitar su transporte. Amén de la pérdida en la estética. Fuera de eso: este libro es una maravilla.

Ich habe meinen Freund als absoluten Star Wars Fan diesen Band zu Weihnachten geschenkt. Es ist einfach ein traumhaftes Buch! Die Qualität ist überragend, vor allem des Papiers und der Fotos. Es zeigt einfach eine Liebe zum Buch, die man auch spüren kann, wenn man es durchblättert. Für besondere Geschenke genau das Richtige!
