Synopsis "The Galaxy Britain Built - The British Talent Behind Star Wars"
The untold stories of the British talent behind the biggest movie of all time... In the sweltering heat wave of 1976, the filming of Star Wars was underway at Elstree Studios in North London. No one who was working on the movie could have imagined just how successful the film and franchise would be... 'The Galaxy Britain Built' has tracked down the most modest of British talent who brought the galaxy to life. In this book they reveal the secrets behind the creation of some of the most famous costumes, props and sets in movie history. Think you know everything there is to know about Star Wars?

"We got wheelbarrow wheels, some plywood and some polystyrene and we built a Landspeeder." "Harrison, Carrie and Mark, being American, said they hadn't tried Yorkshire puddings before! So on that Sunday, we invited them round for lunch..."
