STAR WARS ARCHIVES EPISODES I - III 1999 2005 HC

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. In 1999, creator George Lucas began the story of how Anakin Skywalker grew up to train as a Jedi under Obi-Wan Kenobi, found love with the Queen of Naboo, Padmé Amidala, before turning to the dark side of his nature and becoming more machine than man. Made with the full cooperation of George Lucas and Lucasfilm, this second volume covers the making of the prequel trilogy and features exclusive interviews with Lucas and his collaborators. The book is pro FUSEly illustrated with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters.

But there are chances for even a slime to become a hero...
