The Making of Star Wars: The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

George Lucas spent nearly ten years bringing his dream project to life: a ground-breaking space fantasy movie. It would be a swashbuckling sci-fi saga inspired by vintage Flash Gordon serials, classic American westerns, and mythological heroes. Its original title: The Star Wars., The rest is history.
