Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Before Star Wars (1977), "sci-fi" movies were grade-B affairs that even their staunchest fans couldn't keep a straight face about. After that box-office miracle, at least sci-fi movie budgets increased. Hearn's survey of SW director and franchise proprietor George Lucas' output affirms that Lucas is pretty solely responsible for that change. SW wasn't easily accomplished. Lucas' just-previous film, American Graffiti, showed one of the highest returns on investment in movie history, yet he struggled to adequately finance SW and worked for free himself while wrapping it up. The SW story isn't the most interesting in Hearn's chronicle, which is a press kit of artbook proportions rather than a biography or a critique. The most absorbing pages concern Lucas' early years and first professional work, and indicate that a full-scale life would be worthwhile. This book, replete with lots of pictures, including frame enlargements that for once don't look anemic, is for gawkers and -production-trivia-mongers; and with the last film in the Star Wars sextet hard upon us, their numbers should be reaching uncritical mass.

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School–With this impeccably constructed coffee-table book, movie aficionados have the opportunity to explore 20th-century science fiction and American culture through the work of an immensely talented director. Film clips, scripts, and interviews help readers to review his vast output. Hearn describes Lucas's childhood, his college filmmaking career at USC, his work with the American Zoetrope collective of San Francisco, his friendship with director Francis Ford Coppola, the making of the classic coming-of-age film American Graffiti, and more. The volume includes photographs of Harrison Ford, Ron Howard, Cindy Williams, and Billy Dee Williams; reproductions of film posters and publicity stills; and the action-packed, movie-shooting schedules of Star Wars and the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, as well as a history of Lucas's educational foundation. Although the book is highly readable, the author sometimes dips into sentimentality and hero worship, and he only briefly discusses the director's movie-business enterprises (Lucasfilm, Ltd., Skywalker Ranch, Industrial Light Magic, and LucasArts), known as the San Francisco Bay Area's mini Hollywood.–ayo dayo, Chinn Park Regional Library, Prince William, VA

Gorgeous George!
16. März 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Just when I thought Charles Camplin's GEORGE LUCAS: THE CREATIVE IMPULSE would be the most beautiful book ever produced on Lucas's career, along comes Hearn's THE CINEMA OF GEORGE LUCAS which, style-wise, aesthetically and visually, blows the former out of the water! A biography and a visual history (many photos never seen before) of the life and career of STAR WARS mastermind George Lucas, this coffee table-esque masterpiece should be the prototype for potential works on Spielberg, Kubrick and Scorsese...these guys all deserve the deluxe treatment after so many years of incredible talent and entertainment! For all STAR WARS, THX-1138, GRAFFITI and Lucas fanatics in general, this hefty beauty will make a very worthy addition to your book collection, not to mention offer readers with a detailed glimpse into the mystery man behind The Force. The text offers information that not even Lucas junkies would know and, as a graphic designer, I was most-impressed with the layout of this entire book...the original delays on its publication were put to excellent use! Most enthusiastically recommended!!!

Remarkable!
14. November 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is filled with rare and beautiful images from the Lucas archive. If you're interested in George Lucas, there is no alternative. The story is pretty good, although a little limited. If you combined the images from this book with the detailed story in DROIDMAKER (subtitled- George Lucas and the Digital Revolution- which i just read straight through and LOVED), I think you'd have the perfect Lucas book. Still, i highly recommend this.
