From the Publisher
40 Years of TASCHEN
Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia. In 2020, we celebrated 40 years of incredible books by staying true to our company credo.
The 40th Edition presents new editions of some of the stars of our program—now more compact and still realized with the same commitment to impeccable production.
May the Force Be With You
Star Wars exploded onto our cinema screens in 1977, and the world has not been the same since. In this book, George Lucas guides us through the original trilogy like never before, recounting the inspirations, experiences, and stories that created a modern monomyth. Complete with script pages, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, and more.
The definitive exploration of the Star Wars galaxy
In this first volume, made with the full cooperation of Lucasfilm, Lucas narrates his own story, taking us through the making of the original trilogy.
Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, and Episode VI Return of the Jedi.
Bringing fresh insights into the creation of a unique universe. Complete with script pages, production documents, concept art, storyboards, on-set photography, stills, and posters, this is the authoritative exploration of the original saga as told by its creator.
