Skywalking : the life and films of George Lucas / Dale Pollock London: Elm Tree, 1983.
Call No: 81LUC POLAuthor: Pollock, Dale Source: UKPlace: LondonPublisher: Elm TreePubDate: 1983PhysDes: xvi, 304 p., [16] p. of plates : ill., ports. ; 24 cmSubject: AUTOMOBILES IN FILMS ; DIRECTORS ; LUCASFILM ; PRODUCTION. USA ; COPPOLA, FRANCIS FORD ; LADD, ALAN, Jr. ; TANEN, NED ; LUCAS, GEORGE ; AMERICAN GRAFFITI (US, George Lucas, 1973) ; RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (US, Steven Spielberg, 1981) ; STAR WARS (US, George Lucas, 1977) ; THX 1138 4EB (US, George Lucas, 1967) Summary: "SKYWALKING is the story of one of the most creative visionaries in all film history. George Lucas was a typical Californian child of no great promise - he read comic books and watched TV; no one guessed that his imagination would inspire millions of people. Dale Pollock brilliantly tells the story of Lucas's legendary days at USCinema and his tangles with Francis Coppola and Universal Pictures. Pollock was one of the few reporters allowed on the set of RETURN OF THE JEDI, and he takes us behind the scenes of Lucas's movies. We find out how Artoo-Detoo got his name, how the Force came to be, and many other surprising revelations. Complete with photographs from Lucas's private collection, SKYWALKING is a powerful biography about a man who is setting the future course of film for years to come."
