Star Wars exploded onto our cinema screens in 1977, and the world
has not been the same since. After watching depressing and cynical
movies throughout the early 1970s, audiences enthusiastically
embraced the positive energy of the Star Wars galaxy as they
followed moisture farmer Luke Skywalker on his journey through a
galaxy far, far away, meeting extraordinary characters like
mysterious hermit Obi-Wan Kenobi, space pirates Han Solo and
Chewbacca, loyal droids C-3PO and R2-D2, bold Princess Leia Organa
and the horrific Darth Vader, servant of the dark, malevolent
Emperor. Writer, director, and producer George Lucas created the
modern monomyth of our time, one that resonates with the child in
us all. He formed Industrial Light & Magic to develop
cutting-edge special effects technology, which he combined with
innovative editing techniques and a heightened sense of sound to
give audiences a unique sensory cinematic experience. In this first
volume, made with the full cooperation of Lucasfilm, Lucas narrates
his own story, taking us through the making of the original
trilogy-Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back,
and Episode VI Return of the Jedi-and bringing fresh insights into
the creation of a unique universe. Complete with script pages,
production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography,
stills, and posters, this is the authoritative exploration of the
original saga as told by its creator. About the series TASCHEN is
40! Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980,
TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping
bookworms around the world curate their own library of art,
anthropology, and aphrodisia at an unbeatable price. Today we
celebrate 40 years of incredible books by staying true to our
company credo. The 40 series presents new editions of some of the
stars of our program-now more compact, friendly in price, and still
realized with the same commitment to impeccable production.
