History of the Force: A Definitive Star Wars Chronicle by The New York Times
Long before the Star Wars galaxy captivated audiences, The New York Times was already anticipating its impact.
Back in 1973, Times journalist Judy Klemesrud quoted George Lucas, then working on “The Star Wars,” describing it as a “real gee whiz movie” inspired by Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers. Four years later, when Star Wars debuted, film critic Vincent Canby called it “the most elaborate, most expensive, most beautiful movie serial ever made”—and the journey began.
History of the Force captures this journey like never before. With more than 85 pages reprinted from original Times articles, this anthology covers every major milestone from the original trilogy to today’s The Mandalorian and Andor. Presented in a stunning 10.5” x 13.25” hardcover bound in velvety imitation leather with a matte silver-foil cover design, this custom-made book is as timeless as the stories within. For the fan who lives and breathes Star Wars, it’s the perfect addition to their collection—an incredible look back at the legacy that’s shaped generations.
