The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Vanity Fair takes a look at the new book The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back by J. W. Rinzler.

Out this month, the slick coffee-table tome The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back chronicles the complete tale—from pre-release to blockbuster success—of what’s become the fan favorite of the Star Wars series. Released in 1980, George Lucas’s Episode V pushed the boundaries of special effects and left audiences with one of cinema’s most epic cliffhangers.
