George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, composer John Williams, legendary production designer John Barry, and a host of others share their fascinating tales of overcoming obstacles - storms, crises, technical limitations, high stress and bitter disappointment - while displaying real ingenuity, heroism and creativity. The interviews are fresh, candid and - above all - more accurate than many other reported accounts. Remarkably these interviews have sat, undisturbed, in the Lucasfilm Archives for three decades.

Open to change, open to friendships and open to the idea that facts may be wrong. She showed great determination and bravery in the face of mystery and danger and I was as surprised as Ivy when the ending was revealed. ![]() Her personality changed over the course of the book and the growth I saw isn’t something I think she could have accomplished with her twin by her side. She didn’t become her sister – even though that was her job – rather, she became a more confident and bold version of herself. She started off as a mousy version of herself but over the course of the story she grew in leaps and bounds.

But maybe the Cass story made the rest of the book thinner than it is. He was neither big enough nor bad enough. As I read him, he wanted neither power for the sake of his pride nor revenge for the sake of his vanity he wanted neither to purify the early by obliterating some of the population from it nor did he aim to give every hillbilly and redneck a pair of shoes. I didn’t mind neither loving him nor hating him, but I did object to not being moved to pity. The others couldn’t be bigger than he, the hero, and he to me is second rate.
