Since 1977, no dramatic saga has touched the world in the way that Star Wars has, capturing the imaginations of filmgoers and filmmakers alike. From A New Hope through The Mandalorian, this is the anecdotal history of the series production. Just as they did for Star Trek in The Fifty-Year Mission, Edward Gross and Mark Altman bring together the commentaries of hundreds of actors and filmmakers involved with and impacted by Star Wars—including George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Alan Dean Foster—as well as critics, authors, film historians, toy experts, and many more.
