Book Reviews of The Making of Star Wars: The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film
Book Review: The making of a movie
Summary: 5 Stars
A very informative book. Much of which is comprised of transcripts from interviews given by principle members of the cast and crew of Star Wars at the time of filming.
This offers a fascinating glimpse into what has become a milestone in film history. Of particular interest were the excerpts from the various handwritten drafts of the screenplay that chart the evolution of the adventures of Luke Starkiller.
What is evident is George Lucas enthusiasm, creativity and passion which was somewhat lacking in the recent prequel series.
Lavished with some great photographs - some of which are published for the first time make this an indespensible buy for any Star Wars and film fan.
