Star Wars Poster Book

Collected for the first time in one volume are over 300 of the most evocative and memorable Star Wars posters: some famous, others never before seen, and many completely hand illustrated and painted. All were created under George Lucas' eye. From campy to darkly serious, surreal to ultra realistic, these posters are considered to be some of the greatest of their time.Along with behind-the-scenes stories from artists and designers, the evolution of Star Wars posters over 25 years is described in intimate detail. From the original theatrical one-sheet to the Polish collage of an exploding Darth Vader helmet to the latest Episode III digital art billboards, their sheer scope will entice casual browsers and overwhelm hardcore fans.Sansweet, Stephen J. is the author of 'Star Wars Poster Book', published 2005 under ISBN 9780811848831 and ISBN 0811848833.
