erichart 's review for:
A comprehensive account of the making of the series, combined with a study of fandom and the popularity of Star Wars.
Taylor relies heavily on Jonathan Rinzler's books about the making of the original series, but includes a lot of new material from his own interviews with former Lucasfilm associates and employees, such as Gary Kurtz and Charles Lippincott. He gives special attention to dispelling often-told myths about Star Wars and George Lucas, often including contrasting viewpoints from his interviews.
My favourite section is Chapter 25, in which Taylor analyses the fallout from the Prequel Trilogy. This is probably the best evaluation I've read about the much-criticized Episodes I-III: unflinching and yet balanced, Taylor manages to come to terms with the flaws but also the positive points of the prequels. A must-read for anyone wishing to prepare for Episode VII.
