- Summary:
- Drawing on new and revealing interviews with key figures, as well as access to previously unpublished material, Empire Building tells the riveting story of how Star Wars confounded Hollywood. It charts the off-screen dramas and bitter boardroom power struggles, the public triumphs and private tragedies of its stars, and chronicles how Hollywood - and the wider business world - were transformed forever by the changes that ensued. It also examines the enduring appeal of the saga, a powerful modern mythology drawing on the past, yet set to inspire far into the future.
