Reviews

"An inside look at how the iconic visual effects company created new planets, creatures, and starships for last year's film." -- Entertainment Weekly online "a lavish photo album of the production, from location scouting in The Dolomites (backdrop to the train-heist sequence) through to puppet-master Phil Tippett digging out Episode IV's original armatures for another round of holo-chess. The relatively sparse text is generally upbeat in tone . . . a handsome volume - many pics are monochrome, upping the classiness." -- Total Film "For the nerd who loves to kick back and peruse pretty Star Wars centric pictures at leisure, this would make the perfect present" -- Cultured Vultures "It's brimming over with an infectious love of filmmaking, and there are some revealing details about the nitty gritty of how blockbusters come together." -- SFX
