The Making of Star Wars: The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film is a 2007 book detailing the making of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The book was written by J.W. Rinzler, with a foreword by Peter Jackson. It was published by Del Rey to make up for the lack of such a book when the film was made, in contrast with the other five Star Wars films.
Rinzler has held presentations relating to the book at Celebration IV[1] and Comic-Con 2007.[2] He has also published several articles relating to the book in Star Wars Insider.
