SKYWALKING
Skywalking: The Life and Films of George Lucas is the story of one of the most creative visionaries in all film history. George Lucas was a typical California 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. In its 4th printing, Skywalking: The Life and Films of George Lucas has now sold more than 150,000 copies and is used in many film schools course as the definitive biography of Lucas. And now with the imminent release of the documentary The People vs. George Lucas, Skywalking: The Life and Films of George Lucas is due for a renaissance of interest.
