John Knoll was 14 years old when the first Star Wars film (Episode IV) came out in 1977- and it changed his life. By the time the first prequel- The Phantom Menace- was released in 1999- he was its visual effects supervisor-in charge of all special effects-a position he held through Episodes II (Attack of the Clones) and III (Revenge of the Sith). With Knoll as tour guide- this deluxe addition to Abrams* 365 Days series provides the single most comprehensive collection of Star Wars images- including breathtaking 360-degree panoramic shots of sets and models- as well as concept art- props- film stills- and memorabilia. ****The only book that covers all six films- Star Wars: 365 Days is Knoll*s spectacular survey of the visual world created by those films. It shows us George Lucas and his crew creating their universe on location and in the studio-in pages dense with imagery and information- documenting a remarkable sustained creative effort by hundreds of devoted filmmakers and craftsmen. A CD-ROM- with nearly 100 QuickTime panoramas of the sets- adds to the beauty of this edition.
