CED Library: Star Wars From Concept To Screen To Collectible

Do you know that we have a Star Wars Book in our library?

Star Wars Book, we have...

The book is in CED Library's Circulation Section (791.4375 Sa 58 1992).

It was a film to top all others. 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 at a time. George Lucas had launched a new era in film making, combining a vivid imagination with state-of-the-art technology.

Star Wars and its sequels, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Return of the Jedi, 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.

Today, collecting Star Wars memorabilia has become one of the hottest hobbies around. Here, for the first time, Star Wars: From Concept to Screen to Collectible takes readers behind the scenes and features over 150 full-colores images - many never before published - of collectible items, movies stills, and prop sketches from the archives of Lucas-film and Kenner toys. The lively text provides a complete overview of this extravaganza, including recent interviews with George Lucas and other Star Wars experts, and offering an intriguing glimpse into one of pop culture's most engaging and enduring phenomena (Sansweet, 1992).
