What is it?
Star Wars is one of the most important
cultural phenomena of the Western world. The tale of Luke Skywalker,
Han Solo, and the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker has become
modern myth, an epic tragedy of the corruption of a young man in
love into darkness, the rise of evil, and the power of good
triumphing in the end.
But it didn’t start out that way.
In this thorough account of one of cinema’s
most lasting works, Michael Kaminski presents the true history of
how Star Wars was written, from its beginnings as a science fiction
fairy tale to its development over three decades into the epic we
now know, chronicling the methods, techniques, thought processes,
and struggles of its creator. For this unauthorized account, he has
pored through over four hundred sources, from interviews to original
scripts, to track how the most powerful modern epic in the world was
created, expanded, and finalized into the tale an entire generation
has grown up with.
