Reviews for Making Solo: A Star Wars Story (Industrial Light and Magic Presents)

An inside look at how the iconic visual effects company created new planets, creatures, and starships for last year's film. -- Entertainment Weekly online a lavish photo album of the production, from location scouting in The Dolomites (backdrop to the train-heist sequence) through to puppet-master Phil Tippett digging out Episode IV's original armatures for another round of holo-chess. The relatively sparse text is generally upbeat in tone . . . a handsome volume - many pics are monochrome, upping the classiness. -- Total Film
