Excellent history of Star Wars!

Revisado: 12-20-21

I have thoroughly and completely enjoyed this audiobook. Through the years I have read or listened to several histories of the Star Wars saga. This includes biographies, autobiographies, authorized (and unauthorized) histories, and "making of" books. That said, there were several gems in "Secrets of the Force" that make it well worth the listen/read. Indeed, there is so much information that this will likely be a book I go back and listen to (either parts or maybe the entire thing). There is so much great material that it sometimes feels like trying to drink from the proverbial firehose.

The organization of the book is terrific and makes complete sense. The authors have mined interviews and histories from a variety of sources and pulled them together to give the listener what feels like a true behind the scenes look at one of the most iconic film series in the history of cinema. The interviews and histories are drawn from cast, crew, producers, directors, film buffs and critics, podcasters, and others. There are both positive and negative comments on a wide variety of topics. The information not only includes the Lucas-involved films (originals and prequels), but also the sequels and beyond. There is even a section of the Star Wars Holiday Special.

The cast of readers is great, too. The producers of the audiobook have different readers represent different contributors. For instance, sources that are women are performed by women. Sources that are Scottish or American are performed by Scots and Americans, respectively.

I truly enjoyed this book and found it incredibly entertaining and informative. I hope you do, too.
