Jon Rinzler, George Lucas's official 'Star Wars' chronicler on the 'Return Of The Jedi' book (2013)
Jonathan Rinzler, writer of many excellent 'Star Wars' books (including 'The Making Of Star Wars') discusses the 2013 release of the next book, 'The Making Of Return Of The Jedi', and about the pleasures and perils of having unlimited access to the Lucasfilm archives!
We hear for the first time about 'Black Friday' at Industrial Light And Magic, the day that George Lucas said 'no' to huge amounts of submitted VFX footage for Return Of The Jedi (1983); the issue of proposed character deaths in RotJ; that nigh-notorious 'Slave Leia' costume; and also about Jonathan's Edgar Allen Poe animation project with illustrator Greg Knight, The Riddle Of The Black Cat...as well as upcoming Star Wars books such as Darth Vader & Son.
