'''''Empire Building: The Remarkable Real Life Story of Star Wars''''' is a book about the making of the [[Original trilogy]] and its subsequent impact, written by entertainment journalist Garry Jenkins prior to the release of [[Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace|Episode I]]. Jenkins is also a biographer of [[Harrison Ford]]. His interview subjects include Sir [[Alec Guinness]], [[John Dykstra]], [[David Prowse]], [[Charles Lippincott]], [[Peter Mayhew]], [[Kenny Baker]], [[Howard G. Kazanjian]] and [[Gary Kurtz]], who is a likely source of the book's behind-the-scenes photos. (Pictures from the [[Tunisia]] filming of [[Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope|Episode IV]] feature Kurtz's young daughters on the set, sometimes wearing [[Jawa/Legends|Jawa]] costumes.)
