Star Wars is one of the most important cultural phenomena of the Western world. The tale of Luke Skywalker,
Han Solo, and the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker has become modern myth, an epic tragedy of the
corruption of a young man in love into darkness, the rise of evil, and the power of good triumphing in the
end. But it didn.t start out that way. In this thorough account of one of cinema.s most lasting works,
Michael Kaminski presents the true history of how Star Wars was written, from its beginnings as a science
fiction fairy tale to its development over three decades into the epic we now know, chronicling the methods,
techniques, thought processes, and struggles of its creator. For this unauthorized account, he has pored
through over four hundred sources, from interviews to original scripts, to track how the most powerful
modern epic in the world was created, expanded, and finalized into the tale an entire generation has grown
up with.
