After George Lucas finished work on
Star Wars Episode III:
Revenge of the Sith, he wanted to look back on the
Star Wars saga with an entirely new point of view: isolating stills, or frames, from each of the six
Star Wars films, focusing on them intensely as works of photography and design, and reproducing them in a book. For two years Lucas went through more than 150,000 frames per film, editing more than 1 million frames down to the 1,416 images that now comprise
Star Wars: Frames, a testament to the hard work, craftsmanship, and dedication evident in every frame of every film.
Star Wars: Frames brings together Lucasand#8217;s personal shot-by-shot selections into a lavishly designed two-volume hardcover setand#151;one volume for the Original Trilogy and one volume for the Prequel Trilogy. For collectors and fans,
Star Wars: Frames is the ultimate look on this grand project devoted to a cinematic phenomenonand#151;and the ultimate
Star Wars collectorand#8217;s tome.
