Critical acclaim for Tim Burton and George Lucas, by the same author:
'A highly useful guide... They read the films with a restrained intelligence that occasionally lights up with comedy' Guardian
'A dizzying collation of facts, figures, trivia and opinion, Lucas's movie empire is mapped from every angle with lightsaber precision... Great for dipping into, this looks set to become the definitive information source for this "mogul, mythmaker and one-man brand".' Film Review
