In 1999, creator George Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and becoming more machine than man. After driving the development of nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever before. He created the first digital blockbuster, and met fierce resistance when he pushed for widespread digital cameras, sets, characters, and projection – all of which are now used throughout the industry. He essentially popularized the modern way of making movies. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel trilogy ― Episode I The Phantom Menace, Episode II Attack of the Clones, and Episode III Revenge of the Sith ― and features exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators. The book is profusely illustrated with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters. About the series TASCHEN is 40!

Review: Much better than previous volume - So I was not a huge fan of The Star Wars Archives - original trilogy, I thought it is an unnecessarily big ang bloated volume with stuff already published a million times. The base concept is the same for this book too, so if you dont like the idea of a gargantuan block of brick sitting in your lap, this book is not for you. With that said, I think this book delivers its premise better than its predecessor - stuff inside is more rare and the information is more new - altought I have to point out that the book draws heavily from "The Beginning" Phantom Menace documentary and other documentaries published on Youtube. My only problem with the book is that the pictures and the text go about in their own pace, so there are times where the interviews and pictures have no connection whatsoever. Sometimes the text catches up, then it loses it again. That is a stupid thing, but overall not a huge issue. I was very happy with this purchase and I read this book from beginning to end really soon after I bought it - something I can not say about the Original Trilogy edition which still sits on my shelf half read a year later. Printing and binding quality is superb, but it was also superb in the previous edition. Overall, I still think these books are way too big and should have come in a smaller format, but I think the writer really corrected a lot of mistakes from the first volume. I recommend it wholeheartedly! Review: Great Star Wars book - A great book for Star Wars fans packed with facts and pictures. Looking forward to the third book coming out later this year. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 59,781 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 75 in Fantasy & Science Fiction Films 83 in Film Direction & Production (Books) 98 in Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Television | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 832 Reviews | ## Images ![– The Star Wars Archives: 1999–2005. 45th Ed.
