Why read it?

1 author picked Skywalking as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

There have been so many books about George Lucas’s most famous creation, the Star Wars saga, and about the man himself.

Pollock’s well-researched and very readable book set a high standard for all the writers following in his footsteps.

From Peter's list on the life and films of George Lucas.
