Book Description:
An exclusive behind-the-scenes
look at the making of arguably the greatest and most
cherished of all the Star Wars films, the most important
motion picture sequel of all-time, and a movie that
changed pop culture forever: Star Wars: Episode V -
The Empire Strikes Back. J.W. Rinzler, author of the
acclaimed The Making
of Star Wars, once again uses his unprecedented
access to the Lucasfilm archives, and their treasure
trove of never-before-published photos, design sketches,
paintings, production notes, interviews, anecdotes, and
scripts, to take us back thirty years to relive the
entire production process for one of the most
anticipated movies ever produced - along the way
unveiling stories as entertaining, enthralling and
mind-boggling as the film itself. As a long-standing
member of the Lucasfilm staff, J.W. Rinzler has enjoyed
unparalleled co-operation and support from the original
moviemakers, including both George Lucas and veteran
director Irvin Kershner. The result is a truly
definitive account that is destined to become a
must-have for all true Star Wars fans and serious
cinephiles.
