The Art of Star Wars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Art of Star Wars is a series of books by various authors featuring concept art from the Star Wars motion picture saga. The books mainly feature artwork accompanied by a short explanation of the scene and the artist's ideas, but also script notes, posters and other information. All three books are published by LucasBooks and DelRey. The Art of Star Wars, Episode III - Revenge of the Sith features a foreword by director George Lucas.

The first three books were re-released in 1997, with changes and new material added to reflect the Special Edition theatrical releases. The original 1979 The Art of Star Wars was also retitled to reflect the new opening crawl (which would finally be shown in theaters in the 1981 re-release).
