In film studios long ago but not so very far away, George Lucas directed three Star Wars movies in what became known as the Prequel Trilogy: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. But he didn't do it alone...

Film historian Dennis Pellegrom gathers an eclectic ensemble of Star Wars cast and crew for a wide-ranging series of interviews.

Pellegrom also dishes up a grab bag of chats with some of the notables from the Star Wars Clone Wars series, including Tom Kane (Yoda), James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan) and Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker). From the Expanded Universe several interviews with authors like Kevin J. Anderson and Michael Stackpole are featured in this book.
