Overview

Lucasfilm creative art manager Phil Szostak’s The Art of Solo: A Star Wars Story reveals the design evolution of each fantastical set, otherworldly machine, and unforgettable character in the film.

Foreword by James Clyne and Neil Lamont

Packed with hundreds of spectacular images, including production paintings, concept art and sketches, storyboards, and matte paintings, The Art of Solo: A Star Wars Story is the definitive guide to the art of the film—and a must-have keepsake for fans.

“[Szostak] explores the filmmakers’ visions and illuminates their creative process. . . . and provides a deep dive into the development of the worlds, characters, and creatures – both old and new – of Solo.” —IGN

“Seeing art imagined for a film, whether it ended up being used or not, is an educational gift, a look into the process and genesis of locations and character development. It’s why ‘Art of’ books are special.” —Nerdist
