Star Wars is one of the most important cultural phenomena of the Western world. The tale of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, & the fall & redemption of Anakin Skywalker has become modern myth, an epic tragedy of the corruption of a young man in love into darkness, the rise of evil, & the power of good triumphing in the end. 

But it didn’t start out that way. In this thorough account of one of cinema’s most lasting works, Michael Kaminski presents the true history of how Star Wars was written, from its beginnings as a science fiction fairy tale to its development over three decades into the epic we now know, chronicling the methods, techniques, thought processes, & struggles of its creator.
