Summary:
Illustrated with movie stills and illuminating infographics, this book examines the central characters, conflicts, and technology of the Star Wars galaxy. When the first movie premiered in theaters in 1977, no one-- not even its creator, George Lucas-- could have predicted the success it has become. The movie reinvented the science fiction genre-- and changed the way movies are made. Hidalgo, Horton and Zehr illustrate how things fit together throughout the Star Wars saga, with timelines and topic boxes providing greater detail. -- adapted from back cover and Introduction (pages 12 and 15).
