'The last of the original Star Wars trilogy 'Making Of's' is every bit as good as its predecessors. It's a rich, lovingly assembled book with enough treats to keep you occupied through a stay in the Sarlacc's belly. It's so packed with rare behind-the-scenes photos and gorgeous concept art that it would be worth buying for the visuals alone. But it's in the words that the real treasure lies. Even the most obsessive Star Wars fan will learn something here.' SFX Magazine, Five *****s 'Bursting with unparalleled access, previously unseen photos, exclusive interviews and on-set tales from the cast and Lucas's crack team of craftsmen, crew and jaunty model makers, Rinzler constructs a unique view of one of history's best-loved sequels.' Shortlist 'The real treat, however is the film's dazzling concept art. The Force is certainly strong with this one.' SPORT Magazine 'One that you will keep on your coffee table with pride. This book is in honour of the 30th anniversary and is the wonderful creation of bestselling author J. W. Rinzler. Rinzler was given access to the Lucasfilm archives and found the most fascinating revelations from behind the scenes of the film. Great to have such an in depth insider look at one of the most famous sci-fi films of all time (and personally my favourite Star Wars film). Now all I need to do is get the back catalogue and clear some bookshelf space...' amazingstoriesmag.com 'The book charts every step of the way, and chronologically we end up with not just the release and various poster camaigns, but also the aftermath of the film.' filmwerk.co.uk 'Another cracking book.' Jedi News 'Concluding Rinzler's trio of books celebrating George Lucas' "Star Wars" films is this "mother lode" of revelations about the making of "The Return of the Jedi" which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2013.'
