From the publisher:
From the producers of the acclaimed Dressing a Galaxy: The Costumes of Star Wars comes an inside look at the secrets behind the saga's artful models and sculptures. Lorne Peterson, model and sculpture designer for the entire Star Wars saga, takes us on a journey through the intricate process of crafting and sculpting the models from sketch to screen and the artistry behind the dazzling results.
Sculpting a Galaxy: Inside the Star Wars Model Shop features more than 300 full-color photographs and illustrations from the Lucasfilm archives, models from all six films, interviews, images and text with concept sculptors, an overview of the ILM model shop from 1976 through today and numerous gatefolds of the most loved models.
ILM virtually redefined visual effects and blazed a trail into the digital realm, follow behind the camera and into the rarely seen workshops and an amazing look at the creation of movie magic. Sculpting a Galaxy: Inside the Star Wars Modelshop takes readers behind-the-scenes for the first in-depth look at these amazing models and the process behind their creation, punctuated by Lorne Peterson's exuberance and dedication to craft.

NEW Facts
This section will eventually replace the long read above, for better bite-sized info and attribution.Ugnaught Support
"[Model Maker] Ease Owyeung built the ship, including the inner cockpit detailing. His early iterations had a second bank of seats for Fett's underlings -- early sketches by McQuarrie had the pig-like Ugnaught guards actually working for Fett instead of being Cloud City laborers as in the finished film. As the story developed, Fett was defined as a loner and these support-crew seats disappeared." – Lorne Peterson
Slave I's Stop-Motion Wings
"Slave I also changed orientation during flight. The base of the ship on landing became its trailing edge when in flight. Accompanying this ninety-degree shift was a rotation of the ship's support wings, which weren't motorized but could be stop-motion animated into position." – Lorne Peterson
