A collection of concept art (sketches and computer models) from The Rise of Skywalker, featuring buildings, vehicles, characters, creatures, droids, and planets. There are brief explanations and behind-the-scenes details on the artistic side of the movie-making process, but not as much as some other Art of Star Wars books, unfortunately. There are many great art pieces, but not much text. Kushins, Josh (2016). The Art of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Harry N. Abrams. ISBN 9781419722257.

The Art of Star Wars was also the title of an exhibition of Star Wars artwork, props, and costumes mounted by Lucasfilm at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco in 1995. [1] The exhibition was subsequently expanded to various international venues from 2000–2001, including the Barbican Art Gallery in London and the Helsinki City Art Museum. [2] [3] Content [ edit ] I love "Art of..." movie books, and I've generally felt more enthusiastic about the behind-the-scenes aspects of the Star Wars sequel trilogy than about the actual films themselves. So I looked forward to seeing the concept art for The Rise of Skywalker—a film I liked quite a lot the first time I watched it, but less and less with each subsequent viewing.

Carol Titelman's first volume, originally entitled The Art of Star Wars, was published in 1979 amid a popular trend for behind-the-scenes, " making-of" media products (such as The Making of Star Wars documentary). The book presents a range of pre-production concept art, storyboards, and publicity shots alongside Lucas's screenplay. It has been noted as a rich record of the previsualization behind the 1977 movie that gives the reader an insight into the "possibilities that might have been" in the final production design, and that challenges the "authorial singularity and originality" that normally surrounds the works of a Hollywood auteur. [4] The first volume has been called the definitive work on the development of the cinematographic art of Star Wars, a body of creative works that heavily influenced later films.

Featuring exclusive concept art, character and costume sketches, and vehicle and creature designs by Lucasfilm Publishing and its partners, this official companion to Star Wars: The High Republic (Phase 1) offers fans a definitive, behind-the-scenes look at an ambitious new era of Star Wars storytelling.As a result, as with The Force Awakens, I think the production design for TROS is a bit too faithful to the look of the Original Trilogy. Ralph McQuarrie, the key concept artist for the original Star Wars, is quoted reverentially in the book - with good reason. However, some of the best designs in the book find a way to both fit Ralph's style and to do something new. For example, the snow planet Kijimi was inspired by Japanese architecture from Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, but modified with embellishments reminiscent of buildings in Ralph's work. As a setting, Kilimi works wonderfully - both as a concept and in execution. I would however disagree about the direction - if anything I think that the concept material captured in this book is even more interesting since it is less about what was in the film but more about what came about because of it - there are many scenes for example that never appeared in the film altogether.

Two essential releases will take fans inside the world of the Star Wars Jedi game franchise -- and behind the scenes. If you can separate the art from the film, this book - like all of the other "Art" volumes dedicated to individual "Star Wars" films, abounds with impressive creativity. As is almost always the case, the blind alleys that the design peeks into are sometimes as compelling, or more compelling, than what makes it to the screen. The sequel trilogy has been, of course, somewhat divisive and the book mostly shies well clear of any particular insight or introspection upon what has worked, and what has not.

Bursting with hundreds of beautiful works of art that include production paintings, concept sketches, storyboards, blueprints, and matte paintings, The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens will delight both Star Wars fans and film enthusiasts for years to come. [2] Media [ ] Editions [ ] Commentary about the development of the story is brief and often never particularly illuminating, but the idea that they even conceptually had far better ideas than what they chose to settle on within the absurd three months they were left to produce a film Disney wanted released for December 2019, rather puts a pin on just how awful rushing to make films without a plan really was in the long run.

THE BAD: Unfortunately, 'The Art of The Rise of the Skywalker' also manages to show how rushed was this movie. The script kept changing all the time (even while shooting!), and some of the ideas they discussed actually sound more intriguing and visually compelling than the ones that appeared in the movie. Like Kylo going to an abandoned Coruscant and to a secret place in the Jedi Temple! Or the final duel taking place in an flooded Death Star hangar! Add to that the fact that the book contains NOTHING related to Exegol, Palpatine or the actual last act of the movie (save a couple of drawings), and the overall experience or reading it feels... incomplete.
