Summary

Desde que Star Wars irrumpió en las pantallas de cine en 1977, Darth Vader, el híbrido mitad hombre y mitad máquina, fascinó y horrorizó al público a partes iguales。 En 1999 George Lucas, creador de la saga, empezó a dar forma a la historia de Anakin Skywalker: su infancia, su entrenamiento como jedi bajo el magisterio de Obi-Wan Kenobi y su amor por la reina de Naboo, Padmé Amidala, antes de dejarse atraer por el lado oscuro de su naturaleza y acabar siendo más máquina que hombre。

Tras impulsar el desarrollo de la emergente tecnología digital, George Lucas vio la posibilidad de crear nuevas criaturas y nuevos mundos a una escala nunca vista。 Así nació el primer éxito de taquilla digital, aunque Lucas se encontró con una resistencia feroz cuando insistió en el uso generalizado de cámaras, escenarios, personajes y proyecciones digitales, recursos de los que hoy se vale toda la industria。 Básicamente popularizó la forma moderna de hacer películas。

Concebido en estrecha colaboración con George Lucas y Lucasfilm, este segundo volumen aborda la realización de la trilogía de precuelas – Episodio I: La amenaza fantasma; Episodio II: El ataque de los clones; y Episodio III: La venganza de los Sith, e incluye entrevistas en exclusiva con Lucas y sus colaboradores。 El libro está ricamente ilustrado con páginas de guiones, documentos de producción, arte conceptual, guiones gráficos, fotografías de rodaje, fotogramas y carteles。

Look I’ve been dying for the prequel trilogy to get, ideally, the making of treatment the original films got in J。 W。 Rinzler’s incredible books or, at least, any sort of makings of book treatment。 So this is the latter for sure。 Can’t argue with that。 But ultimately, for reasons beyond the content of the book, this is not fun to read。 It is freaking giant。 Entirely unwieldy。 No matter how you read it your neck is going to feel it。 And as with the previous archives release the images and the tex Look I’ve been dying for the prequel trilogy to get, ideally, the making of treatment the original films got in J。 W。 Rinzler’s incredible books or, at least, any sort of makings of book treatment。 So this is the latter for sure。 Can’t argue with that。 But ultimately, for reasons beyond the content of the book, this is not fun to read。 It is freaking giant。 Entirely unwieldy。 No matter how you read it your neck is going to feel it。 And as with the previous archives release the images and the text are consistently disjointed telling two narratives - one comprised various images and captions that follow the narrative of the movie, the other an oral history detailing the production。 Following both is tedious。 Ultimately it feels like this book was made to be skimmed and glanced at, not actually read。 There are some cool insights here and there, particularly in the final pages and the interviews throughout with George Lucas, but there’s also almost no mention of the larger cultural reactions to these films and how that did or didn’t impact there production。 I’m glad to have some details on the prequels and I’ll browse this book again I’m sure but I don’t see myself ever reading it cover to cover again。 That said, if this volume were the exact same content in a more manageable package that I could actually read in a chair or in bed I’d probably be singing a different tune。 。。。more

An amazing insight into the Prequel trilogy, aka Episodes I-III。 Be warned, this book is huge, literally - as long as my arm, and about as thick!! But so wonderfully filled with gorgeous concept art and plenty of text with behind-the-scenes info and little tidbits。A great amount of the text was more geared towards tech-savvy / movie industry folk, using a lot of technical terms and discussing movie technology in-depth, which all looked like Latin to me!

But I'm sure many others would find that in-dept stuff quite interesting! My only gripe is that, within each movie's section, they kind of jump all over the place, instead of breaking down the movie scenes in chronological order。 (It's mostly chronological, but not completely。) They are also two types of text: the main paragraphs, and the blurbs related to the images。 Oftentimes, the main text would be talking about one particular subject or scene, but the concept art would be from a totally different scene。 They could've matched them up better。All in all, if you have the strength to lift this massive book!!, it's well worth the read for any fan of the Prequels。 Can't wait to check out the Original trilogy archives! 。。。more

Perfect inside look into the creative process for the prequels。

Austin

Fantastic book of you like the Star Wars prequel trilogy (or are open to it)! Just gorgeous throughout, with lots of fun background and behind the scenes stuff and concept art and ephemera。 This and the one from the original trilogy are going to be my very favorite coffee table books。

The book is pretty heavy which is to be expected。 At the same time, it has a good amount of new information and is a must-read for prequel trilogy fans。

Sebastian Zavala

This book was simply amazing。 As a Star Wars fan, it has absolutely everything I would expect from a definitive collection of "behind the scenes" content。 But as a Prequels Fan (oh yeah), it is simply superb, and beyond any of my expectations。 You get interviews with George Lucas, Rick McCallum, all the concept artists and occasionally some of the actors, talking about pre-production, filming and post-production of all three prequels。 And although some (not all) of the information was previously This book was simply amazing。 As a Star Wars fan, it has absolutely everything I would expect from a definitive collection of "behind the scenes" content。 But as a Prequels Fan (oh yeah), it is simply superb, and beyond any of my expectations。 You get interviews with George Lucas, Rick McCallum, all the concept artists and occasionally some of the actors, talking about pre-production, filming and post-production of all three prequels。 And although some (not all) of the information was previously published in other "making of" books and documentaries, this has even more stuff: more conceptual paintings and unused ideas, and explanations for some of the story beats Lucas used in the movies。And yes, it also has a bit of information about his ignored sequel trilogy。 And frankly。。。 it sounds bonkers (Darth Maul was the main villain, Leia was the main hero, and it was all about the crime syndicates who were trying to take over the galaxy after the fall of the Empire) but at the same time, MUCH more compelling and cohesive and original than what we ultimately got。 Because Lucas had a PLAN。 And even though he's not he best at writing dialogue or directing actors, he knows his mythology and themes and has COMPLETE STORIES to tell。 And that's what this book shows: what he knows and the stories he wanted to tell, his legacy and the way he worked alongside an enormous group of people, both to tell stories AND develop technological breakthroughs (digital cinema cameras, digital projections, and many more)。So yeah, this is a treasure trove。 Expensive, yes, and certainly enormous, but totally worth it。 Quite the treat for any self-respected Star Wars fan。 。。。more

An outstanding book!!!

Graham Tomlinson

As with the previous Star Wars Archives this is an awesome book totally brining to life the making of these epic movies。 It also sheds light on how George Lucas and the making of these movies were instrumental in the industry moving into the digital era。 I can not recommend this book highly enough。

One is that the only true route to happiness is through caring about other people。 If all you care about is yourself and about your things and your stuff, you will be unhappy the rest of your life no matter how much you accumulate。" - George LucasDespite the $200 price ticket, The Star Wars Archives。 1999–2005 is a must-have for diehard Star Wars fans。 While some of the information can be found in past George Lucas interviews, featurettes, and other books – the Archives feels like an artful ode to Lucas’ creative genius。 This is far from a coffee table book; it is a little slice of Star Wars history that should be cherished。 Like the first volume, which covered the original trilogy, The Star Wars Archives。 1999–2005 includes rare interviews with Lucas and his team, production documents, concept art and storyboards, on-set photography, promotional stills, posters, and illustrations。 Pick up your copy of The Star Wars Archives。 1999-2005 today。 。。。more
