Book Overview

This book covers many aspects of the filming, and as Arnold has covered decades of movie making before writing this book, he is obviously genuinely impressed with the scale of the production. Good... This description may be from another edition of this product.

The Inside Look...

Alan Arnold had a first hand glimpse behind the scenes of what most fans consider the best Star Wars film out of the Six. From the difficulties of filming on a cold and icy snow blown glacier, to rushing through filming at the massive sound stages at Elstree Studios, Arnold takes us inside for a view that few were aloud to see...and hear. The price of this paperback book tells of its value and rarity. It is a one of a kind piece of literature that is quickly disappearing from the market. Get a copy while you still can.

BEHIND THE SCENES OF A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE!

Alan Arnold was the publicist on THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. In this journal, Arnold takes you from the very beginning of principal photography to the end of production, detailing all the behind-the-scenes mishaps, adventures and difficulties associated with the filming. Included are interviews with Irvin Kershner, George Lucas, John Williams, all the cast and many of the crew. This is a treasure-trove for STAR WARS fans!

Great!!!

This combined with The Making of Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Making of the Movie recreates for the reader EVERYTHING that went on during pre-production, production, and post-production and even months after! Excellent book for anyone who loves Star Wars, a must-have.
