A Brief Guide To Star Wars ? The Unauthorised Inside Story

George Lucas was a rebel, refusing to make films in the style of the dying studio system, relentlessly pushing the technology of the day and almost alone in understanding the potential of merchandising, but he was a rebel who built an empire. From the staggering unexpected success of the original Star Wars in 1977, when cinema attendances exceeded 20 million for the first time since 1963, through The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, then the ?dark times? ? the 16 years leading to the blockbusting prequel trilogy ? this is the fascinating story of how it all happened. Life-long Star Wars fan and movie journalist Brian J. Robb edited the official Star Wars magazine for a decade and visited the sets of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith in Australia (observing
director George Lucas at work), as well as the famous Skywalker Ranch. He has interviewed many of the stars and crew of all six Star Wars movies.
