In this lavish thirtieth-anniversary tribute to the blockbuster film Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back, New York Times bestselling author J. W. Rinzler draws back the curtain to reveal the intense drama and magnificent wizardry behind the hit movie--arguably the fan favorite of the Star Wars Saga. Following his The Making of Star Wars, the author has once again made use of his unlimited access to the Lucasfilm Archives and its hidden treasures of previously unpublished interviews, photos, artwork, and production mementos. The result is a comprehensive behind-the-scenes, up-close-and-personal look at the trials and triumphs, risks and close calls, inspiration, perspiration, and imagination that went into every facet of this cinematic masterpiece. Here's the inside scoop on: - the evolution of the script, from story conference and treatment to fifth draft, as conceived, written, and rewritten by George Lucas, famed science-fiction author Leigh Brackett, and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan - the development of new key characters, including roguish hero Lando Calrissian, sinister bounty hunter Boba Fett, and iconic Jedi Master Yoda - the challenges of shooting the epic ice planet battle in the frozen reaches of Norway and of conjuring up convincing creatures and craft--from tauntauns and snowspeeders to Imperial walkers - the construction of a life-sized Millennium Falcon and the swamp planet Dagobah inside a specially built soundstage in Elstree Studios - the technique behind master Muppeteer Frank Oz's breathing life into the breakthrough character Yoda - the creation of the new, improved Industrial Light & Magic visual effects facility and the founding of the now-legendary Skywalker Ranch In addition, of course, are rare on-the-scene interviews with all the major players: actors Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and David Prowse; director Irvin Kershner; producer Gary Kurtz; effects specialists Richard Edlund, Dennis Muren, Ken Ralston, and Phil Tippett; composer John Williams; and many others. Punctuating the epic account is a bounty of drawings, storyboards, and paintings by Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston, and Ivor Beddoes, along with classic and rare production photos. An added bonus is a Foreword by acclaimed director Ridley Scott. The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is a fittingly glorious celebration of an undisputed space-fantasy movie milestone.

Absolutely gorgeous color, and great quality crossbody purse. It also comes with a little 'wallet' or card holder that I wasn't aware of! Beyond happy with the purchase.

Too small inside
Color: B4/Chalk
The purse is nice but nothing fits inside. I returned it. It comes with a little slide in wallet. I took that out and still could only fit my iPhone. I could barely squeeze my key fob in with the phone. It had trouble snapping closed with both those things in it

One of a Kind — Made Really Well
Color: B4/Denim Multi
Leave it to Coach to create this adorable bag. It has embroidered cherries and small leather leaves. The packing for delivery was unbelievable. All the hardware and leather was protected by small pieces of foam. My only disappointment is that there is no zipper pocket on the inside.
It is small so if you carry a lot, this won’t work for you. It will be a nice spring/summer bag.

Instant-On Sight-Love Affair
Color: B4/Indigo, Color: B4/Indigo
The bag is adorable! I loved it instantly before even completely unwrapping it. It feels very well made. It's compact but spacious. I'm surprised it doesn't have an inner zipper pocket but it makes up for that by having a zipper that closes the whole bag rather than a snap. And it has 2 outside pockets with closures. It smells like a brand new pair of jeans. I can’t wait to accessorize it and upcycle it to my style. Also, I appreciate learning that it is made with sustainable materials. What a bag!
I bought this as a replacement for my Brandon Blackwood waxed denim ESR tote that’s seen better days. They are about the same size but the Coach bag is a bit more spacious. They’re both the same price and seeing as the ESR is 5 years old, I’m surprised the Coach doesn’t cost more. Definitely worth the price. Didn’t want to risk it being sold out to wait for a sale.
