The book titled Creating the Worlds of Star Wars: 365 Days is authored by Jonathan W. Rinzler and John Knoll, and it was re-released to the public on October 1, 2012.
This version, unlike the first edition, does not feature the interactive CD-ROM that was previously included.
When the initial Star Wars movie (Episode IV) premiered in 1977, John Knoll's life, who was then 14, was forever altered. By 1999, when the first prequel, The Phantom Menace, debuted, he was the visual effects supervisor, heading all special effects, a role he continued through Episodes II (Attack of the Clones) and III (Revenge of the Sith). This deluxe addition to Abrams' 365 Days series, guided by Knoll, offers the most exhaustive compilation of Star Wars visuals available. It features stunning 360-degree panoramic views of sets and models, alongside concept art, props, film stills, and memorabilia.
Star Wars: 365 Days, uniquely covering all six films, is Knoll's impressive overview of the visual landscape shaped by these movies. It presents George Lucas and his team crafting their universe both on location and within the studio. Its pages are filled with rich imagery and information, documenting a remarkable and sustained creative endeavor by hundreds of dedicated filmmakers and artisans.
