The book is divided into eight chapters which help the reader understand George Lucas. The story starts from Lucas’ humble beginnings in Modesto, CA, introduces us to his family and start in the film making business. The book then goes to analyze each of the Star Wars films and the creative process (not the technicalities of movie making) which created the much beloved stories and characters.

Soon afterward I read the Splinter of the Mind’s Eyenovel by Alan Dean Foster, and the Han Solo novels by Brian Daley; on the comics side, I continued to read the new stories appearing in Marvel Comics’ ongoing series.
