Foreword by Rian Johnson

Written and directed by Rian Johnson and production designed by Rick Heinrichs, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, like every chapter before it, owes its visual language and fully imagined cinematic landscape to an incomparable art department: the Lucasfilm "visualists." The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi explores their vision and illuminates their creative process in stunning detail.

Featuring concept art, costume sketches, and storyboards, this book takes fans on a deep dive into the development of the fantastic worlds, characters, and creatures--both old and new--of The Last Jedi. Exclusive interviews with the filmmakers and with the Lucasfilm visualists provide a running commentary on this unforgettable art and reveal the inspirations behind moviemaking magic at its finest.

"The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi is much more than a bunch of pretty pictures. Buried in Phil Szostak's 256-page book are some fascinating insights into the production of the film. . . . We highly recommend you flip through yourself." --Gizmodo

"While they're rarely celebrated, conceptual artists play an integral role in creating the look of a film . . . The Art of Star Wars: The Last Jedi gives these talented men and women their proper due by showcasing their valuable contributions." --Unbound Worlds
