I just got it. This book is huge and packed with information and pics. It's gonna take me a while to absorb it all.

It's only $24 on Amazon.

It's a great book, but it was released in paperback last year (I should know. Due to a mishap, I ended up ordering the paperback edition as well as the hardcover).

I do hope that the Making of The Empire Strikes Back (mentioned in an interview last month) will happen.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Don't you know, Lucas had the six film saga all planned out in his head back in the 70's!


I guess? Seriously though, I'm not sure what the problem is, as this was an authorized work. From Amazon.com:
About the Author
J. W. Rinzler, executive editor at Lucasfilm Ltd., is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Making of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, as well as The Art of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, The Art and Making of Monster House, and Creating the Worlds of Star Wars, which he co-authored with visual-effects supervisor John Knoll. J. W. Rinzler now lives in Petaluma, California.
But then people can rip on Saxton too for being some kind of renegade, so go figure.

Maybe that's not what he meant? ;)
fun/fantasy movies existed before the overrated Star Wars came out. What made it seem 'less dark' was the sheer goofy aspect of it: two robots modeled on Laurel & Hardy, and a smartass outlaw with bigfoot co-pilot and their hotrod pizza-shaped ship, and they were sucked aboard a giant Disco Ball. -adw1
Someone asked me yesterday if Dracula met Saruman and there was a fight, who would win. I just looked at this man. What an idiotic thing to say. I mean really, it was half-witted. - Christopher Lee
