Chronicle Books' Star Wars Chronicles, by Deborah Fine and Aeon Inc., focuses on the original Star Wars Trilogy (episodes 4-6).
A few years later Chronicle Books would release a Prequels book of the same size and scope.
To me, these are the most comprehensive books about the films imaginable. They should be-they cost $150+ each.
The book is practically busting its binding with the amount of photos, art and schematics from everything from character design to set layouts.
Much of the photos and art have never been seen before other than in this book.
The oversize hardbound book comes in a clever magnetic flip lid case.
The gold over flap has several diecut spaces reminiscent of the portholes seen on the Millennium Falcon’s gun posts.
In the open diecut spaces readers can set several horizontal bars in silver and dark gray with spotlighted character poses.
The lid is shortcut allowing the black portion of the box to show on the right hand side.
Running vertical down the right side are diecut windows, each of which has a silhouette of a character seen in the strips.
Inside readers get a film by film examination of every element of the films.
Look for spaceship size comparison foldouts, model designs and constructions, full color character profiles in various poses, alien designs, weapon and accessory concepts and completions and set construction.
There’s plenty of behind-the-scenes photos, costume fittings, sketches, matte paintings, special effects, deleted scenes, novelizations and much more.
It’s an entire universe of photos, art and fascinating text.
Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV) “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.”
