Reviews

[Thomas Schulte]

This picture book is basically in three parts: (1) roots for the film in movie and sci-fi history, (2) a novella-ization of the story, and (3) behind the scenes stories and pics. Only (3) is of real interest and value, I think. Some of (1) isn't convincing as being real inspiration for Lucas and (2) is just unnecessary.
