Star Wars: The Making of Return of the Jedi J.W. Rinzler

I posted this on rebelscum a couple of hours ago, thought I would do the same here.

The third and final of the OT "making of" books is scheduled to hit October, 2013 and can be preordered at Amazon!

Woo-hoo! Now I need to start reading them.

Well he took long enough with that.

Finally! I was wondering when this one would be done!

Is it really that surprising? The Making of ESB book was released on that film's 30th anniversary as well.

Also, he's been updating about it on his Twitter ocassionally over the past 2 years.

Still can't wait for this, though. These books are great. And it will be interesting to see how he weaves the Kurtz fallout and Lucas divorce into this one.

Nice. I still need to read my ESB book.

Awesome book series! I look forward to this...

I picked-up the ESB book since it's my favourite but I've always had mixed feelings with makings-of/behind-the-scenes books. I find I'm less engrossed with the movies after reading them and trivia starts to intrude on certain scenes, so I'll probably be passing on this one - well researched as it'll undoubtedly be.

Rinzler! Rinzler! Rinzler!

Oops... wrong franchise.

I also dislike knowing how things were made, it kind of kills the magic and you never reveal a magic trick!

At the same time I love the idea of those kinds of books but I tend to want to buy some like this one and end up rarely reading them, like 3 huge books for the movies, while awesome, is too much for me.

I was debating getting the Star Wars Chronicles by Deborah Fine instead.

To each their own.

I enjoy it simply because it shows how creative these guys were. On a movie that was suppose to barely turn a profit, they poured their heart and souls into it and created a phenomenon that will never die.

Hope they post the front cover soon, curious to see what the photo is.

Hmm, I really need to get these books. Is it worth it getting the hardcover ANH? Does anyone know where to find it?

Worth every penny, and they display well.

I got the Making of IV, V, and Indy for Christmas. I had no idea how in depth they were going to be. I've barely made a dent in reading them (albeit casual reading).

I'm about half-way through Empire but had to take a break, for a bit. Have enjoyed going through the book, though. It's very interesting to see how everything evolved and I especially enjoy seeing all of McQuarrie's art, but Empire will be the only movie I go into this depth with.

That's great news. I got both when they came out and am looking forward the this one.

I've been looking around on the "A New Hope" book.

I find it very confusing. I know that there is a paperback version and a hardcover version.

I've seen the hardcover version being listed as 372 pages. But I keep running into a hardcover version consisting of 276 pages. This one, the author is named Lippincott.

Is this a different version? I don't know which one to get...
