Absolutely the best book I’ve found on the subject of developing, pitching, and creating the visual development and concept art for video games. The book is full of information about what it took to find the right concept that would work with audiences and push the Star Wars canon. This is a “must have” for anyone who wants to create art for the game industry. You can really get a sense of how much work needs to be “churned out” for a game, because the book is so full of art the binding is about to break. That’s my one annoyance. This book should have been printed better. The binding on my copy, and for several other artists, is coming apart. I still can’t give it 4 stars for that though, the quality of the artwork makes up for it.

My kids love these books and even though there are about 40 pages in each of these they sit still for the whole book. That doesn’t happen often.
This book is jam-packed with information on the making of the movie, from Preproduction to Principal Photography to Digital Shot Production. Really, this book has it all!
In “Part 1″ it shows original drawings and rough drafts of the script. In “Part 2″ it shows what they filmed every day, and even has quotes straight from Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman, and Ewan McGregor. You can read about the problems they would go through on a day-to-day basis.
In “Part 3″ it mostly talks about adding in those special effects that make the movie what it is today. Plus, there are a few pages about those Wookiees!
If that isn’t enough, almost every page has 3-6 crystal clear, candid photos. And I just want to mention that there are more than 220 pages. Small font is used in order to fit in more information.
This book tells a whole lot more than the special features on the DVD do. I’m serious, this is a must-have for any Star Wars fan. Even if you’re not obsessed like some people, I think everyone will enjoy this book.
I was hoping this book would provide information on the various ‘film codes’ used in the film (such as colour and shot symbolism, style of music, frame composition, costume etc) and how they enhanced the actual story. There is none of that in this book; however, it does provide ‘a fly on the wall’ insight into the production of the film. It relays conversations between Lucas and his producer, as well as recreates dialogue between Lucas and his actors as they move through the filming process. Glorious pictures, but you can get the same images from the net if that’s what you’re after. The book didn’t provide me with what I wanted, but the Star Wars nerd in me liked it nevertheless.
Well, it’s been about 30 years in the making but the Star Wars saga finally came to an end with the release of Revenge of the Sith. This book is about all the hard work, both in front of and behind the camera, that made the final film possible. As with the DVDS I felt that too much time was spent on the “technical” aspects of the film and not enough was spent on the actors, the scriptwriting process, and the themes of the work as a whole. I guess what I’m trying to say is that Star Wars films and this book’s problem is that there is an obsession with “design” instead of the emotional content or the plot. Instead of obsessing about the look of each and every laser gun, Lucas should have filled us in about plot holes and told us why Qui-Gon couldn’t have communicated with Yoda and said “Palpatine is the Sith Lord”! and saved the whole universe with those words. There are some entertaining and insightful looks into the psychology of the characters, especially in the 1st drafts of the script in which Lucas envisioned Palpatine as the person that conceived Anakin through his control of the Force, which would make him Anakin’s father in a way, and Luke and Leia’s grandpa! The other negative thing about this book is that you become more conscious of the trickery used in Episode 3. When you read about all the digital head-swapping, especially of Palpatine and Christopher Lee, when you view the film, you start to notice the slightly different looking heads during the duels. It also made me disillusioned to find out that at the beginning of the film when Anakin and Obi-Wan face Dooku, Christopher Lee was not even on the same set with them. So I don’t know, this book really revealed all fakery that I believe is so responsible for people’s unease with the prequels. Movies like Sin City which were completely digital made no pretensions to look real, but Lucas tries so hard to make Episodes I-III look authentic that somehow everything seems bogus. If you read this book, you will probably never view the film the same, and I mean that in a negative way.
I thought that this was a very well done book! I liked how it showed what they were doing each day while filming, and how they prepare for making the movie. I learned alot about making movies, and now know alot of what the technical terms mean. It also had a nice format, with behind the scenes pictures on most of the pages. I am a HUGE Star Wars fan, and I thought this was a great book. A must read for all fans, or “wanna be” movie makers.
“Making Of” was written a few years ago by J.W. Rinzler. He was able to comb the Lucasfilm archives and unearth dozens of interviews that were conducted contemporaneously with the making of the original film. This, along with tons of production artwork, photographs, and behind the scenes materials are what comprise the book. It was both a difficult read, and an easy read. After reading the introduction by Peter Jackson, I plowed straight in to the book. It’s not a terribly long book (around 300 pages), but it a big book – thick and unwieldy – printed in an almost sadistically small font. It’s also printed on heavy stock paper, with just enough gloss to make it challenging if lighting conditions aren’t ideal. There – that’s the bad – all physical issues with the book itself. Now on to the good.
As a fan, I pride myself on knowing a decent amount of Star Wars trivia and folklore. Still, I was amazed at the things I learned in the book. It’s been 33 years since the original film came out. I, like some many others, have grown up with the Star Wars mythos as part of the fabric of my life – it’s easy to take for granted. For most of us, we don’t really remember a world without Star Wars. (I’m also happy to say that I’ve passed my love of “Star Wars” done to both of my kids.) With that perspective, I found it fascinating to Lucas struggle to pull this new world together. You get to follow that evolution through four different versions of the script, and ultimately to what we all know and love from the film itself. You can see Lucas as he struggles to meld the ideas that he has, refine them down., and deliver a true “modern fairy tale”. You also see his unyielding self criticism, and unhappiness with how the movie eventually turned out. It’s easy to understand why he revisited the films in 1997 to “fix” them, and try to put on the screen the story he always wanted to (except for the Greedo incident – there he should have left well enough alone – Han ALWAYS shoots first. End of story).
Along with the evolution of the script, you get a good look at what it took to start a special effects company from scratch (ILM), and get a movie that no one believed in, made in the late 70’s. There were many stories I had heard before – Luke Skywalker was originally called Luke Starkiller; and many that I had not heard – he was called Starkiller up until just shortly after principle photography had started. Lucas felt, with the Manson murders in the news, that Starkiller might not play well. They hadn’t yet filmed the scene where Luke introduces himself to Leia in the Death Star prison cell, so the change was made.
If you are a “Star Wars” fan, or just a fan of movies, you should read this book. I am giving it five stars. I almost gave it four stars because it was so physically frustrating to read but, in the end, I just enjoyed it too much. “Star Wars” was a seminal event in film history, and I loved to get a look behind the scenes of how it came to be. Rinzler is publishing a definitive history of the making of “The Empire Strikes Back” – due out this summer. I’ve already got it in my shopping basket on Amazon.
If you are a Star Wars fan and think you know it all, think again. This book shows original scripts and story concepts of how George Lucas originally conceived Star Wars. Not the same story you are familiar with. You’ll see how it evolved to what is had become, and enjoyed, from 1977 until today. Original interviews with cast and crew, some dating back a year or two before the movie came out. It is so interesting to see these Q and As before the film was a huge success, or even viewed, by the public. How Lucas put his heart and soul into the project, a true labor of love. Just getting it green lighted by a studio was a painstaking effort. Hundreds of photographs in which, I am positive, you have never seen before. You will find this book fascinating and very enjoyable. Even before a Special Edition or renaming the epic from Star Wars to “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope,” this little film was truly loved and a masterpiece. This big book is a masterpiece based on a masterpiece.

The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
Great book, great illustrations, great stories, but the text is way too small. Make sure to buy a magnifying glass, even if you’re not a geezer.
Being a Star Wars fanatic for nearly 30 years, in my wildest dreams I could not have imagined the wealth of information in this book. If it were just the pictures, many I’d never seen before, I would’ve been enthusiastic, but the way this is written, it’s like I was there during production. A better book on Star Wars A New Hope I, obviously, can not imagine.
This 1983 book is 292 pages long, and it has everything in it that you would want to know about the making of this film. It includes a detailed, diary account of the day-to-day making of “Jedi.” It includes actual telex messages (before the email/Internet era) between the filmmakers, set schedules, actual call sheets, and much, much more! This will make any Star Wars fan drool, but it’s also for students of the filmmaking process. The sheer detail of the information inside will satisfy even the most demanding Star Wars fan.
