AUTHOR LAURENT BOUZEREAU / OUT 24 OCTOBER / 256 PAGES
This Spiel-book by a long-time chronicler of the director is heavyweight: John Williams and George Lucas offer forewords, and the centrepiece is a huge film-by-film interview with the man himself. Bouzereau knows his stuff, and it crackles along, but many of the stories will be familiar to fans. Also, it’s technically the first 11 years covered — but hey, it’s not the years, it’s the mileage.
