Great Collection.

This book offers an inside look at the huge collection of the Lucasfilm Archives. Conceptual art, models, props, puppets, masks, and various other movie making elements from the original STAR WARS and INDIANA JONES trilogies are examined and the last few pages look at three or four items from other Lucasfilm projects including WILLOW and HOWARD THE DUCK. The text is more than just element descriptions and some of the information is interesting and rather fascinating. A great book for any STAR WARS and/or INDIANA JONES fan and a must for a Lucas buff.

This is why the franchises are so solid and popular

This book provides the reader with a rare glimpse of a lot of concept art and even model making that ILM produced for the 3 Star Wars and 3 Indiana Jones movies. And unlike, the Art of Star Wars Episode 1 for example, there is more text than simple art credits, and includes descriptions on how the different tools (say, matte paintings), are used for effects in the films. The book also provides an excellent look at ILM's story boards, which are usually so well drawn that they would make ideal comic books. It has a beautiful series of pictures of props-from Colt pistols to blasters, from scimitars to lightsabers, all held together with great informative text by Mark Gotta Vaz and Shinji Hata. This is one of my favorites.

You wont regrett buying this.

This is infinitely worth the price to any fan of Star Wars, George Lucas, Indiana Jones, Lucasfilms or any of his other movies. There are so many pictures and so much info you wont notice half of it until youve searched through the book several times. There are many unique parts of this book, so don't worry if you expect this to be a compliation of everything you already have.

Great for every fan of Star Wars or Indiana Jones movies

Great close ups of most of the models and props used in all the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies. Every fan will love to get a look at the detail of many objects (Especially love the detail of Darth Vaders mask when Luke took it off Darth's face). Includes models, props, costumes, masks and mattes. A fan's dream. I'm taking off a point because I want more! more! more!

A must have for any movie watcher!

This book is only rivaled by the catalogs of the Smithsonian archives. Take a jaunt through movie history with the props, costumes, and artwork of the two greatest trilogies in movie history. A must have
