Book Description:
John Knoll was 14 years old when the first Star Wars
film (Episode IV) came out in 1977, and it
changed his life. By the time the first prequel, The
Phantom Menace, was released in 1999, he was its
visual effects supervisor-in charge of all special
effects-a position he held through Episodes II
(Attack of the Clones) and III (Revenge of the
Sith). With Knoll as tour guide, this deluxe
addition to Abrams' 365 Days series provides the
single most comprehensive collection of Star Wars
images, including breathtaking 360-degree panoramic
shots of sets and models, as well as concept art, props,
film stills, and memorabilia.
The only book that covers all six films, Star Wars:
365 Days is Knoll's spectacular survey of the visual
world created by those films. It shows us George Lucas
and his crew creating their universe on location and in
the studio-in pages dense with imagery and information,
documenting a remarkable sustained creative effort by
hundreds of devoted filmmakers and craftsmen. A CD-ROM,
with nearly 100 QuickTime panoramas of the sets, adds to
the beauty of this edition.
