For the first time, here you will see the initial concepts behind such iconic Star Wars scenes as the Rebel blockade runner hallways, the bridge of General Grievous’s flagship, the interior of the fastest “hunk of junk” in the Galaxy, and Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Never before seen craftsmanship and artistry is evident whether floating on the Death Star, escaping on a speeder bike, or exploring the Tatooine Homestead.<br /><br />Star Wars: The Blueprints is a limited edition. Only 5,000 hand-numbered English language copies will be available, 1000 of which will be signed.<br /><br />Highlights from the collection include the following blueprints (which have been cropped here for better visibility) of:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">R2D2 (Artoo)</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqADJjMfToatdqax5RKQVJaK6fJUeBjo5h1hKIE08US4nYPTb9duiVWgEvGJpatwig7i6UEnxqvI7T_4DjHMDc5ugQOavEdqpOBdVV9E2VeWS31fJNGUyU1nbi3IVpgBStnTBsSAX9oKA/s1600/R2D2-blueprint.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5632707657096548050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqADJjMfToatdqax5RKQVJaK6fJUeBjo5h1hKIE08US4nYPTb9duiVWgEvGJpatwig7i6UEnxqvI7T_4DjHMDc5ugQOavEdqpOBdVV9E2VeWS31fJNGUyU1nbi3IVpgBStnTBsSAX9oKA/s400/R2D2-blueprint.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;

Unrolling each extraordinary document, one after another, it became clear that a central part of the very genesis of Star Wars lay in these technical drawings, 95 percent of which had never before been seen by the legions of devoted fans. The origins of the streets of Mos Eisley, the X-wing fighter, even the legendary Battle of Hoth, the cantina, the Carbon Freezing Chamber, and many other iconic sets were guided to the silver screen through these critical documents, and could have otherwise been lost to time.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The author:</span><br />J. W. Rinzler, executive editor at Lucasfilm Ltd., is the author of The New York Times best seller The Making of Star Wars, as well as the London Times best seller The Complete Making of Indiana Jones. His most recent book is The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Rinzler lives in Petaluma, California.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">other contributors:</span><br />The weight of history was on author and Lucasfilm executive editor J.W. Rinzler’s shoulders throughout the making of Blueprints. As he culled from hundreds of blueprints those that would most accurately and thrillingly speak to fans and devotees worldwide, there were difficult decisions to make. To make the final cut for the publication of Star Wars: The Blueprints, each of the 200 seminal images included here was selected by Rinzler in collaboration with an expert panel of Academy Award®-winning visual effects artists.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Panelists</span>:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dennis Muren</span><br />Industrial Light & Magic’s Dennis Muren is an eight-time Oscar-winning special effects artist who helped pioneer and propel visual effects technology through his work on the first five Star Wars films, in addition to other classic films with jaw-dropping special effects including Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jurassic Park and E.T. The visual effects supervisor for the original trilogy, Muren is a revolutionary, and the only special effects artist with his own Hollywood “star” on the Walk of Fame.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">John Knoll</span><br />Award-winner John Knoll is a visual effects supervisor and author of Creating the Worlds of Star Wars: 365 Days. Knoll served as Visual Effects Supervisor on the Star Wars prequels and on the 1997 special editions of the original trilogy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lorne Peterson</span><br />Model-maker Lorne Peterson is an Industrial Light & Magic visual effects artist who worked on all six Star Wars films. In addition, he is the author of the 2006 book, Sculpting a Galaxy: Inside the Star Wars Model Shop, in which he details his experience making classic ships and locations like the Star Destroyer, the T-65 X-wing starfighter, and the Jedi Temple come to life.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Star Wars: The Blueprints By J.W.
