Format:Hardcover
Only got this last night so have only had a flick through it but can honestly say it is a fantastic book. Very large, comes in a rigid slipcase along with 2 prints.
Basically follows the creation of the entire Star Wars universe over a 30 plus year time line from before the first film came out right up to and past the more recent Clone Wars releases. Jam packed with loads of images interspersed with details of world events that were taking place during the same period of time.
Recommend for all Star Wars fans without a doubt.
Superb.

An interesting concept, this is essentially a time-line of the Star Wars saga (in its entirety - films, books, toys, comics, etc), broken down by year and then by month, interspersed with key news events and links to other projects - films and books - that involve people who either are, or will become, involved in the saga. By placing the series into a historical context, it allows you to see how certain things in the films were shaped by the times and how sometimes - such as with the Pixar Imaging System - real life has benefited from advances made by Lucasfilm. The book is broken into five sections - "Life before Star Wars", "The Original Trilogy" (both written by Ryder Windham), "Between the Trilogies" (by Daniel Wallace), "The Prequel Trilogy" and "Clone Wars & Beyond" (both by Pablo Hidalgo) - and all of them are interesting in their own way. However, as someone who was 8 when "Star Wars" was released here in December 1977, the original trilogy section is the one that speaks loudest to me. It's also interesting to note the between section, where Wallace comments that the films are in danger of slipping out of the public eye - I remember thinking the same thing myself, back in the late 80s and early 90s. Great fun, a really absorbing read and with some excellent photographs, I'd say this was a must-read for Star Wars fans. Highly recommended.

Star Wars has been part of my life since I first watched and recorded Episode IV - A New Hope on TV in 1982 when I was only 6 years old. Bearing this in mind, this book is just a treasure trove of fascinating trivia, world history and everything relating to the creation of the greatest Sci Fi Space Opera our generation has seen.
We take in everything from an early 1914 animated cartoon short, through Flash Gordon, Metropolis, Snow White, the Old Wild West serials and Elvis. From Akira Kurosawa, Harryhausen, Kubrick, The Beatles and James Bond we see the world Lucas was living in leading up to beginning Star Wars.
From 1975 onwards though it is both a timeline of my own lifetime and a sumptuous Star Wars fest!! Featuring original handwritten story ideas of 'The Starkiller', original concept art, revealing photos, fascinating stories and brilliant insights from the archives its quite simply a triumphant success.
Beautifully packaged with its own durable slipcase this is a big coffee table effort. (I have no coffee table!) The book also comes with two lovely, high quality prints of scenes from the Star Wars Universe housed neatly on the inside cover. I love it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to delve that little bit deeper.
And its a steal at the current price!!!
