From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences
have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the
half-man/half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. In 1999, creator George
Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a
Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo,
Padme Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and
becoming more machine than man. After driving the development of
nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could
create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever
before. He created the first digital blockbuster, and met fierce
resistance when he pushed for widespread digital cameras, sets,
characters, and projection - all of which are now used throughout
the industry. He essentially popularized the modern way of making
movies. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and
Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel
trilogy - Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the
Clones, and Episode III Revenge of the Sith - and features
exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators. The book is
profusely illustrated with script pages, production documents,
concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters.
