Star Wars gets the BFI treatment

New thesis by Will Brooker


The BFI series of books is a long-running and highly reputable library of film analysis. Printed in relatively small numbers, some titles have been known to become quite valuable also (John Carpenter’s The Thing being one).

So it’s great to see that Star Wars is finally getting the BFI treatment.

Author Will Brooker also wrote Using the Force: Creativity, Community and “Star Wars” Fans aswell as books on Batman and Blade Runner.
