An Imperial Star Destroyer plus a doughnut equals a Neimoidian battleship. So reveals Phantom Menace design director Doug Chiang, as he's discussing how the previous Star Wars films influenced the conceptual planning of Episode I. Fans of Star Wars, of course, love to get this kind of skinny, and The Making of Episode I doesn't disappoint. In this comprehensive account of Phantom Menace's origins, packed with page after page of behind-the-scenes sketches and set photos, you also learn about the many hairdos of the Jedi, how Huttese is based on the Incan language Catua, and what a huge influence Young Indiana Jones had on Episode I's seat-of-the-pants, guerrilla-style production.
All the films in the Star Wars saga share unusual origins, but Phantom Menace may take the prize with its ground-breaking technology, nonlinear digital production process, strenuous casting demands, and, of course, the idiosyncratic style of Lucas himself, with his focus on editing and collaboration with actors and designers. The veterans of quite a few "making of" books and documentaries, Laurent Bouzereau (Star Wars: The Annotated Screenplays) and Jody Duncan (Cinefex magazine) don't miss a trick, combining exclusive Lucas interviews with blow-by-blow recountings of every stage in the process, from initial script development and casting to storyboarding, costume design, and set-building through to shooting, editing, and scoring. --Paul Hughes

Format:Taschenbuch
This book provides a snap-shot of film-making at the end of the century. The story of Star Wars episode I's crafting in 150 pages. Packed with detail. Short quotes from people involved, from cast to crew, pepper the text adding colour and information. Well illustrated, clearly told and attention grabbing. Thorough in its scope and ecomomic in language, good reading and eminently collectible. A suitable companion to Thomas Smith's, Industrial Light and Magic: The Art of Special Effects (1986), which covered much on the special effects of episodes IV-VI. A contribution to the myth of Star Wars.

I found this book an excellent addition to my collection of "The Making of ..." books.
The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because I would have liked to have seen some more "meat" in the special effects areas, specially the practical models and sets, and the computer animation, which (in my opinion) has just been given a quick overview. The "Jurassic Park" books were much better, but then the movies didn't have as much CG animation in them (personally, I'd rush out and buy a sequel covering the SFX side alone).
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a very infomative book, and lots of fun to read. Finding out how the movie was made and all the work that went into it, astounded me. Lots of nitty-gritty details and interviews with George Lucas, Rick McCallum, and other members of the crew and cast. The behind the scene pictures were also very intersting. I couldn't stop reading. A must have for any Star Wars fan.
