The Lucas/Spielberg creation of Indiana Jones has returned to the big screen. I certainly have Indy on the brain (the Indiana Jones theme won’t leave my head…damn you, John Williams). But perhaps you’re more Han Solo than Henry Jones. If so, you might want to check out The Secret History of Star Wars:
Covering a period of over four decades, you will discover how George Lucas got his ideas for the original film, how Darth Vader was made into Luke Skywalker’s father in 1978 and forever altered the arc of the story, what happened to the infamous third trilogy in the series and how the prequel stories came to be. The book also reveals the style and method of Lucas himself and how his personal life affected and shaped the story, for better and worse. This is a book which challenges many legends surrounding the series and places the films in a new light.
Oh, and it’s free and available for download as a PDF file.
