May the Force Be With You
 
From the moment Star Wars burst onto the screen in 1977, audiences have been in equal parts fascinated and appalled by the half-man/half-machine hybrid Darth Vader. After driving the development of nascent digital technology, George Lucas perceived how he could create new creatures and new worlds on a grander scale than ever before.
 
Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, ‘The Star Wars Archives’ volumes cover the making of the earlier movies— and features exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators.

Star Wars (1977) The iconic image of a Rebel X-wing fighter under attack from an Imperial TIE fighter. George Lucas: “I always see images flash into my head, and I just have to make those scenes. I have an overwhelming drive to get that great shot of two spaceships, one firing at the other, as they drive through the space fortress. That image is in my head, and I won’t rest until I see it on the screen.” Courtesy TASCHEN/TM & © 2018 LFL. All Rights Reserved.
