A Galaxy Not So Far Away Writers and Artists on Twenty-five Years of Star Wars Paperback - 2002

by Glenn Kenny


From the publisher

A dazzling collection of original essays by some of America's most notable young writers on the cultural impact of the Star Wars films
"A"" Galaxy Not So Far Away" is the first ever exploration of the innumerable ways the Star Wars films have forever altered our cultural and artistic landscape. Edited by Glenn Kenny, a senior editor and critic at" Premiere" magazine, this singular collection allows some of the nation's most acclaimed writers to anatomize, criticize, celebrate, and sometimes simply riff on the prismatic aftereffects of an unparalleled American phenomenon. Jonathan Lethem writes of the summer he saw "Star Wars" twenty-one times as his mother lay dying of cancer. Neal Pollack chips in with the putative memoir of a certain young man having problems with his father, written in the voice of Holden Caulfield. Erika Krouse ponders the code of the Jedi Knight and its relation to her own pursuit of the martial arts. "New York Times" film critic Elvis Mitchell meditates upon the mysterious figure Lando Calrissian. A classic assemblage of pop writing at its best, "A Galaxy Not So Far Away" is a book for everyone who loves Star Wars films and seeks to understand just what it is about these films that has so enchanted an entire generation of filmgoers.

First line

1. In the summer of 1977 I saw Star Wars-the original, which is all I want to discuss here-twenty-one times.
