Editorial Reviews

Praise for I AM: GEORGE LUCAS

This easy-to-read title contains enough information about filmmaker George Lucas to encourage young readers to follow in his footsteps and possibly create their own films and studios. The father of blockbuster cinema series such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones, not to mention the music-filled American Graffiti, this talented, imaginative man somehow managed to make films his own way without compromising his vision. In a profession often dominated by connections, this quintessential outsider managed to do things his own way, staying true to his own vision for his films. Fans will enjoy seeing the photographs of a young Lucas as well as the lines of moviegoers waiting for tickets to his film as well as reading about his family, upbringing, and his struggles and failures as well as his successes. It's interesting to learn about his single-mindedness and creativity.
