Rubin, Michael. Droidmaker: George Lucas and the Digital Revolution. Florida: Triad Publishing Company, 2006.

This book is a semi-autobiographical story of George Lucas the film maker, and the digital revolution that came with Star Wars. The book goes into detail about the technology that went behind making Star Wars, and its lasting influence in todays films. Interviews and quotations are taken from Lucas and his many famous friends to give a better insight. The chapters are put into chronological order of progression of the first Star Wars film. In each chapter a side note is given on the history of cinema and technology, giving detailed pictures like cameras, celluoid film, dvds, etc. I think this is a great book because it will help me better understand the technological side of cinema and how Star Wars brought about this revolution.
