Featuring all three original trilogy scripts in their entirety, this book includes interview annotations from George Lucas, Irvin Kershner, and numerous others who worked behind-the-scenes on the films. I have to admit that there wasn't much in this collection that really stood out for me - perhaps in 1997 there was, but with DVD documentaries and internet access today, most of the annotations in this book are things you probably already know. This book makes up for that weakness with in-depth notes and comparisons to all three original drafts, explaining how the characters and stories could have been entirely different for us. Fascinating differences that will make any Star Wars fan wonder "what if?" Overall, it's nice to have the complete scripts at hand, along with a few different stories from the set and film-making process. The late Irvin Kershner's interviews are most interesting to read, as well as the in-depth descriptions of original drafts and story concepts. The annotations almost serve as a commentary - although I felt more scenes should have been talked about more than others. Certainly a decent add for your book collection, but I wouldn't recommend paying anything over $10.Read full review
