Images from the Star Wars films have become part of our culture. Layered over time-honored myths and stories, these images reside in our collective consciousness and derive much of their mythic power from their detailed and artful costumes. Here is an in-depth presentation of these amazing artifacts as well as a behind-the-scenes look at their creation.

Featuring over 500 full-color photographs and illustrations from the Lucasfilm archives representing characters and costumes from all six films in the Star Wars saga, this stunning tour de force spotlights the costumes of Episodes I, II and III, hundreds of which were handcrafted for each film. The book includes astonishing costume presentations in which animated computer graphics characters are displayed in their virtual costumes. Throughout, there are commentaries by Samuel L. Jackson, Jimmy Smits, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christensen, Natalie Portman and other actors.
