-Titulo Original : How Star Wars Conquered The Universe The Past, Present, And Future Of A Multibillion Dollar Franchise
-Fabricante :
Basic Books
-Descripcion Original:
In 1973, a young filmmaker named George Lucas scribbled some notes for a far-fetched space-fantasy epic. Some forty years and 37 billion later, Star Wars -- related products outnumber human beings, a growing stormtrooper army spans the globe, and Jediism has become a religion in its own right. Lucass creation has grown into far more than a cinematic classic; it is, quite simply, one of the most lucrative, influential, and interactive franchises of all time. Yet incredibly, until now the complete history of Star Wars -- its influences and impact, the controversies it has spawned, its financial growth and long-term prospects -- has never been told. In How Star Wars Conquered the Universe, veteran journalist Chris Taylor traces the series from the difficult birth of the original film through its sequels, the franchises death and rebirth, the prequels, and the preparations for a new trilogy. Providing portraits of the friends, writers, artists, producers, and marketers who labored behind the scenes to turn Lucass idea into a legend, Taylor also jousts with modern-day Jedi, tinkers with droid builders, and gets inside Boba Fetts helmet, all to find out how Star Wars has attracted and inspired so many fans for so long. Since the first films release in 1977, Taylor shows, Star Wars has conquered our culture with a sense of lightness and exuberance, while remaining serious enough to influence politics in far-flung countries and spread a spirituality that appeals to religious groups and atheists alike. Controversial digital upgrades and poorly received prequels have actually made the franchise stronger than ever. Now, with a savvy new set of bosses holding the reins and Episode VII on the horizon, it looks like Star Wars is just getting started. An energetic, fast-moving account of this creative and commercial phenomenon, How Star Wars Conquered the Universe explains how a young filmmakers fragile dream beat out a surprising number of rivals to gain a diehard, multigenerational fan base -- and why it will be galvanizing our imaginations and minting money for generations to come. Review Exhaustive.... those of us more casually in tune with the Force will find more than a few tasty nuggets. Wall Street Journal Insanely microresearched and breezily written. New York Times Book Review An excellent look at the genesis of Star Wars.... [Taylors] put together a volume thats honest and interesting--and one thats completely reignited my passion for Star Wars. io9 An unconventional approach that serves to bring a spark of life that might otherwise go missing from a straightforward commercial or cinematic look at Star Wars. Washington Post Even obsessives will likely find much thats news to them ... worthy of being savored ... amusing ... reveals what a huge role serendipity played in Star Wars. New York Post Delivers a payload of information... you will find intense emotions in its observations of a battle for autonomy within corporate cinema, and to the public that swoons for Lucas products. San Francisco Chronicle An immensely readable look at the worldwide impact of the Star Wars saga over the decades. McClatchy Taylor brings a genuine love of pop and nerd culture to this comprehensive retrospective on one of the 20th centurys most popular film series....
