Book Description:
When the first Star Wars film was screened in 1977 it
changed the face of intelligent adventure blockbusters
forever and defined the cinematic experience of a whole
generation of moviegoers. The industry that followed -
two sequels, three prequels, an entire book publishing
program, dedicated magazines and comic books; toys and
figurines, plus sell-out conventions where fans could
meet the actors, writers and film-makers - turned the
Star Wars phenomenon into the most influential and
commercially successful entertainment franchise of its
kind; one, moreover, which is still going strong after
30 extraordinary years. Now, to commemorate its
thirtieth anniversary year, comes the ultimate Star Wars
collectible keepsake book. In these lavishly produced
and designed full colour pages fans will find a treasure
trove of never-before-seen letters, photographs and
other material connected with the films each of which
has been lovingly reproduced from the originals.
Among the book's features are:
- The special questionnaire for the
first and only test screening of the original Star
Wars and the invitation to attend it
- George Lucas' hand-written
treatment for The Empire Strikes Back
- Lucasfilm Christmas cards
- Iron-on T-shirt transfer
- The very first concept sketch drawn
for Star Wars
- Blueprints of Star Wars vehicles
and sets
- Original hand-written directions
for ground-breaking special effects
