By Phil Szostak

Book Overview

Phil Szostak, the author of The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, takes fans behind the scenes of the blockbuster sequel with this incredible visual archive of the creative process.

Foreword by Rian Johnson

Written and directed by Rian Johnson and production designed by Rick Heinrichs, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, like every chapter before it, owes its visual language and fully imagined cinematic landscape to an incomparable art department: the Lucasfilm "visualists." The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi explores their vision and illuminates their creative process in stunning detail.

Featuring concept art, costume sketches, and storyboards, this book takes fans on a deep dive into the development of the fantastic worlds, characters, and creatures--both old and new--of The Last Jedi. Exclusive interviews with the filmmakers and with the Lucasfilm visualists provide a running commentary on this unforgettable art and reveal the inspirations behind moviemaking magic at its finest.

"The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi is much more than a bunch of pretty pictures. Buried in Phil Szostak's 256-page book are some fascinating insights into the production of the film. . . . We highly recommend you flip through yourself." --Gizmodo

"While they're rarely celebrated, conceptual artists play an integral role in creating the look of a film . . . The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi gives these talented men and women their proper due by showcasing their valuable contributions." --Unbound Worlds

Customer Reviews

Excellent find!

The book is very nice purchased with the force awakens one. I got mine in very good condition had some stuff on the top but the book however is very good condition still had a price tag on it but not a problem. The book came with the original dust jacket. Which is not a guarantee with used books. The cover had a bit of being bent out of shape but for what it’s worth it’s good. I am quite enjoying the two purchases. They shipped together Arrived before they were due. Very interesting artwork as well.
