Stormtrooper catching up on some reading
Yes...I am a die-hard Star Wars fan. Always will be. Although Mr. Lucas tried to ruin the greatest movie trilogy ever by adding on those more recent embarrassments. Nevertheless, Star Wars fans worldwide can rejoice (well at least 5,000 of them) in knowing about the release of the new book Star Wars: The Blueprints.
The Blueprints brings together, for the first time, the original blueprints created for the filming of the Star Wars saga. Drawn from deep within the Lucasfilm Archives and combined with
exhaustive and insightful commentary from best-selling author J. W.
Rinzler, the collection maps in precise, vivid and intricate detail the
very genesis of the most enduring and beloved story to appear
onscreen.
The Blueprints also gives voice to the groundbreaking and brilliant engineers, designers and artists that have, in film after film, created the most imaginative and iconic locales in the history of cinema.
