This is a mess. As such, it is an interesting take on one of the early drafts of what eventually became the Star Wars we all know and love (it took years and many revisions of the story and script to make that film). It's pretty amazing that the author and artists were able to make this into something as semi-coherent as it is. You should only read this if you are a giant Star Wars fan and your little fan-boy heart won't be broken when you see the names of your favorite characters attached to almost unrecognizable new characterizations. I had fun reading it.… (meer)

Every non-fiction book or documentary that tries to document the making of more than just one Star Wars movie always has the same flaw: they spend less time, and go into less detail, on each successive movie after the first one.

And it always annoys me.

Other than that, this book is great and has a ton of interesting information.

3.5 stars.

Definitely not sure I buy all of Howard Kazanjian and Marcia Lucas' claims in this book, and I would have liked a slightly broader - and more neutral/objective - perspective from Rinzler and his sources, but I got what I came for, namely some rare behind the scenes information on More American Graffiti.

It's difficult to know what to say about this project - the book is very well-executed, the art is incredible and it's a lot of fun seeing all the familiarity of Star Wars refracted and remixed into parts of its original vision. However, George Lucas' first draft, the basis of this book, is an uneven mess with a lot of pacing and character issues. However, I can't fault the book for this, as showcasing the rough draft as it is was the entire point. Ultimately very entertaining.
