Creating The World Of Star Wars 365

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
its visual effects supervisor—in charge of all special effects—a
position he held through Episodes 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 Star Wars images, including
breathtaking 360-degree panoramic shots of sets and models, as well
as concept art, props, film stills, and memorabilia. The only book
that covers all six films, Star Wars: 365 Days is a spectacular
survey of the visual world created by those films. It shows us
George Lucas and his crew creating their universe on location and
in the studio in pages dense with imagery and information,
documenting a remarkable sustained creative effort by hundreds of
devoted filmmakers and craftsmen.
