The latest making of book from the original Star Wars films has finally arrived. This book is one that you will keep on your coffee table with pride (I know I have). I was lucky enough to be sent a copy ahead of the release (available now at Amazon.co.uk) which, quite frankly made my September! Flicking through the pages of this book makes you feel like you were there on set with the cast and crew. This book is in honour of the 30th anniversary and is the wonderful creation of bestselling author J. W. Rinzler. Rinzler was given access to the Lucasfilm archives and found the most fascinating revelations from behind the scenes of the film. The book is full of previously unpublished photos, concept artwork, script excerpts, on-set interviews, storyboards and commentary. Here is a sneak peak to a few of the pictures in the book:
