Introduction
Chapter I: The
Beginning -- examines how George Lucas grew up inundated with
comic books, pulp fiction and b-movies and stumbled into the film
industry at a seminal point in American film history, creating a duo
of films which led into the creation of a space adventure
movie
Chapter II: The Star
Wars -- examines how Lucas attempted to adapt Flash Gordon, then
remade Akira Kurosawa's Hidden Fotress, and finally invented his own
"superhero in space" adventure film, first as a complicated and
convoluted comic book action film and finally as a simplified coming
of age adventure
Chapter III:
Revelations -- shows how Lucas took his simple space adventure
and transformed it into a saga, first comprising of 12 and then 9
films, and how the fusion of Luke Skywalker's father and Darth Vader
in early 1978 changed the course of the franchise
forever
Chapter IV: The
Wreckage -- examines how the production of Lucas' first sequel
fell apart and how it impacted the future of the
franchise
Chapter V: Demons and
Angels -- traces how Lucas redeemed Darth Vader and transformed
him into a sympathetic character, and how the nine-episode plan was
cut short
Chapter VI: Endings
-- examines the closure of the Star Wars trilogy and the
collapse of Lucas' personal life
Chapter VII: The
Beginning...Again -- examines how Lucas returned to the series
and re-invented it with his decision to make his prequel
trilogy
Chapter VIII: The
Madness -- looks at the reaction of The Phantom Menace and Star
Wars fandom
Chapter IX: Stitches
-- examines how Lucas continued to shape the prequel story for
the second episode
Chapter X: The Circle
is Complete -- examines how Lucas altered his plans for Episode
III multiple times and consolidated the trilogy as the personal
story of Anakin Skywalker and solidified the new series he had been
building
