Audiences around the world gasped in delight as they watched alien creatures cavorting in a bar, entire planets exploding, and futuristic space ships rocketing through galaxies… George Lucas had launched a new era in filmmaking, combining a vivid imagination with state-of-the-art technology. Star Wars and its sequels… pitted traditional forces of good against evil in an exciting futuristic context. People had so much fun at the movies that they demanded toys, T-shirts, and just about anything else related to the saga… STAR WARS : FROM CONCEPT TO SCREEN TO COLLECTIBLE takes readers behind the scenes and features over 150 full-color images -- many never before published -- of collectible items, movie stills, and prop sketches from the archives of Lucas-film and Kenner toys.". Fifth printing. Oversize Hardcover. Fine condition/Very Good+ dust jacket. Illus. by Essig, Steve; & David Tucker (photography). 132pp.
