Why read it?
1 author picked Skywalking as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
There have been so many books about George Lucas’s most famous creation, the Star Wars saga, and about the man himself.
As far as biographical accounts are concerned, Dale Pollock’s volume (initially published in 1983, and updated in 1990 and 1999) has to be given a lot of credit for being the first to properly introduce this unique filmmaker, whose life and career have been so full of unexpected twists and turns, to the world – and to me!
Pollock’s well-researched and very readable book set a high standard for all the writers following in his footsteps.
From Peter's list on the life and films of George Lucas.
