• In 1997, while George Lucas was working on the early drafts of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, he recruited some of the best storyboard artists of the modern era to illustrate conceptual storyboards that would influence the development of the final script and the finished film. • These artists, based on Lucas's ideas for scenes and sequences, produced beautiful drawings that helped lay the foundation for the worlds, characters, and shots of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. • The conceptual storyboards show early versions of favorite scenes, alternative and unused approaches to character and environment design, and completely different approaches to key moments. • For the first time, Lucasfilm has opened its archives to present the best conceptual storyboards from Episodes I, II, and III in an impressive volume. • Throughout this book, readers will find information on how these conceptual storyboards contributed both to the creation of the Prequel Trilogy and the expansion of the Star Wars universe. • Book dimensions: 30.2 cm high, 22.9 cm long, 2.9 cm wide. • Book weight: 1.796 kg.
