STAR WARS FAQ: EVERYTHING LEFT TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRILOGY THAT CHANGED THE MOVIES
Book ID/图书代码： 11684015B80842
English Summary/英文概要： From the books and movies that inspired George Lucas to imagine the Star Wars universe, to early screenplay drafts that were never filmed, to short biographies of many people who made key contributions to the movies’ success, Star Wars FAQ explores every aspect of the original Star Wars trilogy (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi). Along the way, it unearths underreported stories and illuminating minutiae often skimmed over or completely ignored in the other histories of the legendary film series. Highlights include details about the Star Wars Holiday Special debacle, the Ewok TV movies, the rise of Star Wars fiction and its importance in the revival of the franchise, and the wave of Star Wars imitators and parodies that flooded theaters and TV screens in the late 1970s and early 1980s-along with dozens of rare publicity stills and photographs of vintage memorabilia. Offering an original analysis of the series’ enduring appeal and cultural impact, Star Wars FAQ tells a story as thrilling and action-packed as the movies themselves, with bold characters facing apparently insurmountable odds, full of frantic chases, narrow escapes, daring victories, and tragic setbacks, culminating in an unlikely triumph that changed the course of the galaxy-or at least of Hollywood.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《星球大战疑问解答》中介绍了给乔治•卢卡斯带来灵感的书籍和电影，未能与影迷见面的早期电影剧本，以及对电影成功做出巨大贡献的主创介绍。该书探索了《星球大战》电影三部曲（《星球大战》、《帝国大反击》、《绝地大反击》）的方方面面，还解析了一些不为人知的故事和常被观众忽略的有关这部传奇电影的历史。书中的高潮包括《星球大战》假日版的失败、易沃克的电视电影、《星际大战》小说的成功以及其对周边产品复苏的重要性、对《星际大战》的模仿潮导致上世纪七八十年代电视和电影市场中洪水般地涌入大量拙劣的仿制品。书中还包含了数十张珍贵的剧组宣传照和纪念品的照片。
《星球大战疑问解答》对该系列电影持续的吸引力和文化影响作出了分析，它讲述的故事和电影一样精彩。电影中大胆的角色、疯狂的追逐、艰难的逃脱、激动的胜利、悲惨的挫折，最终出乎意料的凯旋改变的整个电影界，至少是改变了好莱坞。（XAT）
