SynopsisStar Wars: The Blueprints gives an all-access pass into the Lucasfilm Archives to unveil the original technical drawings of the galaxy far, far away. With more than 250 blueprints , 500 photographs and illustrations , and ten stunning gatefolds , Star Wars: The Blueprints is a deluxe volume that reveals the work of the engineers, designers, and artists who dreamed up the look and feel of the Star Wars universe. Best-selling author J. W. Rinzler explores the complex process of envisioning and creating the Star Wars films throughout this collection. Witness first-hand the technical expertise and jaw-dropping detail involved in every part of the process, from concept sketches to final scenes . Star Wars: The Blueprints showcases the transformation of careful technical drawings to now-iconic sets--the rebel blockade runner , the Millennium Falcon , the bridge of General Grievous's flagship , Jabba the Hutt's throne room , and many others. Meticulously researched and packed with gorgeous artwork and little-known details, Star Wars: The Blueprints tells the story of the brilliant minds and technical prowess that brought this extraordinary epic to life., Star Wars: The Blueprints goes deep into the Lucasfilm Archives to uncover and showcase the original technical drawings and concept art, featuring hundreds of blueprints, photographs, and illustrations.
Unique insights into the making of Star Wars sets, droids and vehicles.
The blueprints of the vehicles, locations, droids, etc are top notch (since they were done by true engineers) but the stories, photos and insights really pulls the curtains on how Star Wars came together logistically. In a galaxy of hundreds of Star Wars books (many repetitive and unnecessary), this book stands alone as a unique entry. Worth the $.
