John Knoll was 14 years old when the first Star Wars film (Episode IV) came out in 1977, and it changed his life. By the time the first prequel, The Phantom Menace, was released in 1999, he was one of the visual effects supervisors—a position he held through Episode II (Attack of the Clones) and III (Revenge of the Sith). With Knoll as tour guide, this deluxe addition to Abrams' 365 Days series provides the single most comprehensive collection of "behind-the-scenes" Star Wars images—hundreds of which have never before been seen—including breathtaking 360-degree panoramic shots of sets and models, as well as concept art, props, film stills, and memorabilia. Covering all six films, Creating the Worlds of Star Wars: 365 Days is Knoll's spectacular survey of the visual world created by those films. It shows us George Lucas and his crew creating their universe on location, in the studio, and at Industrial Light & Magic—in pages dense with imagery and information, documenting a remarkable sustained creative effort by hundreds of devoted filmmakers and craftsmen. A CD-ROM, with nearly 300 navigable panoramas of the sets, adds to the beauty of this must-have edition.
