{"product_id":"george-lucas-star-wars-2000","title":"George Lucas: Star Wars [2000]","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe phenomenal success of George Lucas's first \u003cb\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/b\u003e trilogy quite simply revolutionized the cinema; but what sets Lucas's films apart from their legion of imitators is the quality of their screenplays. Lucas originally intended this trilogy to be a single film, but the epic scope of the story (combining hi-tech, sci-fi cinephilia with elements of Arthurian myth and mysticism) demanded that it be split into three.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first panel of the triptych is \u003cb\u003eA New Hope\u003c\/b\u003e. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, young Luke Skywalker leads a dull, isolated existence on his uncle's homestead. One day, two androids, C3PO and R2D2, show up bearing a message from Princess Leia, the leader of the rebel forces engaged in a struggle against the vicious tryranny of the Empire - as personified by the rasping presence of Darth Vader. The message leads Luke to realize his heritage as a Jedi Knight. He sets out on a wild adventure across the galaxy and, together with Leia and rogue pilot Han Solo, attempts to thwart the Empire by destroying its menacing base of operations: the Death Star.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucas, George","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52554708287827,"sku":"9780571202997","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/lucas-george-george-lucas-star-wars-2000-9780571202997-1210602019.jpg?v=1765311192","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/george-lucas-star-wars-2000","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
