Product Description

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." It's been 30 years since those immortal words were first seen on movie screens nationwide and it was the start of a worldwide phenomenon and the beginning of the most successful movie franchise of all time.

The Star Wars Vault: Thirty Years of Treasures from the Lucasfilm Archives, With Removable Memorabilia and Two Audio CDs by Stephen J. Sansweet and Peter Vilmur (HarperEntertainment; on-sale October 30, 2007; $85.00) is the official illustrated book celebrating this year's 30th anniversary of George Lucas' first Star Wars movie, and includes removable reproductions of memorabilia, along with two CDs containing vintage radio ads, original cast interviews, George Lucas' commentary, and even Carrie Fisher singing in the Star Wars Holiday Special.

The Star Wars Vault is the insider's look at the development and making of all six movies, and the huge cultural impact they've had. In addition to hundreds of photos and pieces of artwork, the book includes fifty interactive, rare, and some never-before-seen pieces of memorabilia.

Among the book's features are:

  • The special questionnaire for the first and only test screening of the original Star Wars — and the invitation to attend it
  • George Lucas' hand-written treatment for The Empire Strikes Back
  • Lucasfilm Christmas cards
  • Iron-on T-shirt transfer
  • The very first concept sketch drawn for Star Wars
  • Blueprints of Star Wars vehicles and sets
  • Original hand-written directions for ground-breaking special effects

The Star Wars Vault is the ultimate, one-of-a-kind insider's look into the sensation that launched a phenomenon that includes six feature films; two spin-off films; three television series with more to come; and an extensive collection of licensed books, comics, video games, action figures, trading cards, and many other products worldwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Own Star Wars Item!, November 6, 2007
By Henry Branham (Howell, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Nothing you read about this incredible collection can prepare you for how actually spectacular it is. After flipping through only a few pages you will quickly realize it was money well spent and by the time you get to the end you'll be proud to be a Star Wars fan all over again. No aspect of the Star Wars galaxy appears to have been forgotten. There is even goodies on the "The Star Wars Holiday Special"! If you are any type of Star Wars collector then this set is an absolute must!

By Y. Karl (Scandinavia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For anyone who has been a fan of Star Wars for more than 10 years, this book is simply a must. It offers an amazing wealth of information, pictures and even reproduced, long-since gone, Star Wars items and memorabilia. Letraset, CDs, stickers, letters, Japanese poster, iron-on etc. etc. For any Star Wars fan this must be the ultimate Birthday or Christmas gift. Again: Simply a must!! Great job by Steve Sansweet & Co.
