In 1997, George Lucas enlisted the talents of some of the greatest storyboard artists of the modern era to illustrate conceptual storyboards that would inform the development of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Working from Lucas's ideas for scenes and sequences, these artists produced beautiful drawings that helped lay the foundations for the worlds, characters, and shots of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. Lucasfilm has opened its archives to present the complete conceptual storyboards for Episodes I, II, and III. Star Wars Storyboards: The Prequel Trilogy collects the storyboards for all three films together in one striking volume, along with relevant excerpts from early drafts and shooting scripts, to provide context for these pre-visual guides.
