I really enjoyed this book! It's pretty much a biography on George Lucas. Or well, more on Star Wars. But the actual talk about the saga in a galaxy far, far away only starts around 100 pages into the book. Before that you learn more about Lucas, which is very interesting.
This book tells you a lot about how much trouble Lucas and co went through to create the universe we love to lose ourselves into so much and it was a great, quick read. The writer obviously is as passionate about the saga as we are.
The only downside for me is the part about the prequel hate. I try to keep myself from the hateful side of the fandom and stuff about parents keeping their kids from seeing the prequels, getting angry when they are mentioned and yelling that they don't exist irks me. Disliking stuff is totally fine, but I just disagree with stuff like that.
