Star Wars Interviews: The Original Trilogy and Expanded Universe [Volume Two]

by Dennis Pellegrom, Bob McLain (Editor), Rick Stanley (Foreword)

In film studios long ago but not so very far away, George Lucas, Irvin Kershner, and Richard Marquand each directed a Star Wars "episode" in what became known as the Original A New Hope , The Empire Strikes Back , and Return of the Jedi . But they didn't do it alone... Film historian Dennis Pellegrom gathers an eclectic ensemble of Star Wars cast and crew for a wide-ranging series of interviews. From Jabba the Hutt sculptor John Coppinger, creature-effects creator Nick Maley, and Mark Austin (Boba Fett), to art director Nilo Rodis-Jamero, costume designer John Mollo, and Michael Carter (Bib Fortuna), you'll learn more about your favorites, and discover the behind-the-scenes wizards who make the real magic happen. In all, over 50 interviews—nearly enough to fill a galaxy far, far away! Whether you're looking for backstage gossip, fan interaction stories, or the nitty-gritty about how the effects of the early Star Wars films were created, you'll find it here.
