About the authors

Former executive creative for 15 years at Lucasfilm, Rinzler wrote and directed an animated short "Riddle of the Black Cat," which was shown at numerous film festivals, including the Montreal World Film Festival. His adaptation of George Lucas's original rough draft became "The Star Wars" graphic novel and was a #1 New York Times best-seller.
Born in Lakewood, New Jersey; grew up in Manhattan/NYC and Berkeley, CA, J W Rinzler fell in love with old monster films, such as Dracula and Frankenstein, as well as Robin Hood and other adventure movies.
His historical-fiction novel ALL UP, a thriller about the first Space Age, from World War II to the Apollo 11 mission, will be out in July 2020.
"All Up is an exceptional book that takes the reader beyond the usual descriptions of the challenges and achievements of the first Space Age, by describing the human reality behind the extraordinary efforts of intelligence and will that made it all possible. Imagine if we could meet Wernher von Braun, Jack Parsons, and Sergei Korolev, and hear them speak about their lives, their failures and hopes and their eventual successes. That is the story told in All Up, a timely contribution at the moment America is seriously considering a return to the Moon, and a valuable guide to the stunning voyages to come."—Dr. Jacques F. Vallée, computer scientist, winner of the Jules Verne Award for science-fiction
“With its fascinating personalities that only Rinzler could describe, ALL UP can’t be put down.”
—David Mandel, Emmy–award winning writer/executive producer, Veep & Curb Your Enthusiasm
“Hang on for the jet-propelled ride of your life. You won’t want to stop till you find out how it all comes out!”—Roy Thomas, writer/editor, member Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame

This was the final George Lucas Star Wars movie, and with it comes some of the best artwork yet. Revenge of the Sith brought us General Grievous (and its infinite toyline), the Battle over Coruscant, and the duel on Mustafar as some of the exciting scenes brought to life. And it all started with concept art, the kind you find in these Art Of books. Some of the best conceptual artists have brought their ideas to life in this book, and it must have been difficult for George Lucas to pick what would eventually end up on the silver screen.
I love and appreciate the sketches and drawings and ideas that go into these Star Wars Art Of books. If you bought the other two, buy this to finish your collection. Recommended.

This "Art of ..." is perhaps the best of the prequel Star Wars illustrated books, alongside Star Wars: The Phantom Menace - Illustrated Screenplay and The Art of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones - Including the Screenplay . Ordinarily I'd award 5 stars for this item ... but it's way too pricy! As I review, it's priced at nearly £30. It simply isn't worth that. I paid £8 for this book, which I think is reasonable. As such, I suggest looking to see if you can find a better priced copy elsewhere.
When I took this and showed it to the class I work with the effect was magical. They were all clamouring to ask questions and look at the different parts of the book, it totally fascinated them. It wasn't just a passing thing, either. Weeks on they will go to the book shelf in my classroom and leaf through it, there is always something more for them to discover. Moreover, being the paperback version, it is not overly cumbersome. They enjoy it for the pictures they recognise from the films and video games, but it also gives them a chance to learn about something they love without staring into a box. If you are thinking of buying this for a young person you know, go for it, you won't regret it, especially at this price!
All that remains for me to say is that I was very impressed with the speed of the delivery. The book arrived well before the estimated time, which when you live in China is something of a miracle!
