Following the sensational success of Anakin Skywalker: The Story of Darth Vader, the ?C-3PO Masterpiece Edition showcases everyone's favorite golden droid. Alternately ?smug, stoic, compassionate, and terrified, "Threepio" has won over movie audiences ?since 1977. At last, Threepio gets the tribute he deserves in this exclusive, limited edition ?illustrated hardcover book and exclusive large collector figure. The fully articulated 12-?inch Threepio features a realistic silver leg and blaster residue, and comes complete with ?detachable limbs-recalling his close call in The Empire Strikes Back-and a replica of ?the net Chewbacca used to collect his scattered parts. In the companion book, Daniel ?Wallace and Josh Ling go behind the scenes to gather reflections ?by the creative team behind Threepio's conception, and present a pictorial overview of ?C-3PO collectibles drawn from Star Wars aficionado Steve Sansweet's extensive ?collection. Brought to life by an array of never-before-seen photographs, conceptual ?sketches, production stills, and storyboards, this boxed set will be a prize addition to ?any Star Wars collection. ?To the Official Star Wars Web Site??Check out other Star Wars titles published by Chronicle Books!
