“[A] tour de force…. Taylor’s research is staggering, and even fans who consider they know all there is to know about the film franchise will find much to be told–and savor.” —Associated Press
In How Star Wars Conquered the Universe, veteran journalist Chris Taylor traces the Star Wars series from the difficult birth of the original film through its sequels, the franchise’s death and rebirth, the prequels, and the preparations for a new trilogy. Taylor provides portraits of the friends, writers, artists, producers, and marketers who labored in the back of the scenes to turn Lucas’s idea into a legend. He also jousts with up to date-day Jedi, tinkers with droid builders, and gets inside Boba Fett’s helmet, all to learn how Star Wars has attracted and inspired such a lot of fans for goodbye. An full of life, fast-moving account of this creative and commercial phenomenon, How Star Wars Conquered the Universe explains how a filmmaker’s fragile dream beat out a surprising selection of rivals and gained a diehard, multigenerational fan base–and why it’s going to be galvanizing our imaginations and minting money for generations to come.
