Author Phil Szostak Shares Details On The Process of Creating His Art of Star Wars Books

Last year, Phil Szostak showed us concept art, costume sketches, storyboards, and blueprints that gave us a “behind the scenes” look into the characters, weapon, worlds, aliens, and creatures of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. His book “The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi” was among the most popular, selling a multitude of copies worldwide. Phil’s upcoming book titled “The Art of Solo: A Star Wars Story” does not hit shelves until May 25, but the author has already begun sharing details about the process of what goes into making it and his other “Art of” books. Read on for more!

 

Creative Art Manager and author Phil Szostak took to Twitter Sunday to share the process for making his ‘Art of Star Wars’ books with his fans, especially those who are interested into how things work creatively over at Lucasfilm.

“Been thinking about doing a step-by-step thread on my process for making an Art of #StarWars book for a while,” he tweeted. “partly just to give you guys a glimpse into how things work creatively at #Lucasfilm more generally. So away we go…”

    So no oscar wins for Star Wars last night? I didn’t watch it but looking at the list of winners it seems Blade Runner 2049 won the ones Last Jedi was up for. Which is fine with me, that movie was visually gorgeous.

      The “Art of…” books are really the only new merchandise that I end up purchasing. They do a great job with them.

    These books contain some of the most beautiful Star Wars art ever compiled. Well worth buying them.

    Still can’t get over how good the new Falcon interior looks.
    They can kill off all the characters they want but the Falcon need to last forever
