This volume contains all three full-length Star Wars screenplays, presented with the secrets that led to their creation. Through interviews with such people as George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan, the author uncovers the complex process through which the Star Wars saga came to the screen.

The complete screenplay of the second Star Wars motion picture is accompanied by selected storyboards used in filming the space adventure.

The most popular series of movies in the history of cinema, the Star Wars trilogy altered forever our notion of what the movies could do. Return of the Jedi is the trilogy's concluding section. With its myriad peculiar creatures, it seems, at first, to be a lighter film than the others. However, as its subtle narrative unfolds, it becomes apparent that the centre of the trilogy is not Luke Skywalker but Darth Vader, and it is his redemption that forms the culmination of this epic story. The power of this conclusion excites curiosity about how someone who began so idealistically could have turned to the dark side of the Force - the story of which will be revealed in the next three instalments to the Star Wars saga . . .
