Critical reception
The magazine Le Point praises it as a fast-paced, sensitive graphic novel, a credible and sensitive portrait of George Lucas, and appreciates the important presence of two Star Wars heroes who are too rarely celebrated: Marcia Lucas, unofficial consultant to her husband, and the visionary producer Alan Ladd. [5]
The website Culture Tops appreciated the work and felt the story was almost as exciting as Star Wars itself [6]
The comic book website Actua BD highlighted the significant research as well as a successful drawing by Renaud Roche. They felt it was a graphic novel accessible to fans as well as to neophytes of the Star Wars universe, the authors having succeeded in maintaining the right balance between homage to the saga, biography of the director and discovery of the underside of cinema. [7]
The cultural webzine Benzine highlighted the choice of the title of the book, perfectly adapted to what George Lucas had to face, and the beautiful cover. However, they would have liked the authors to feature more of the innovations in Star Wars, like the very first use of computer-assisted cameras. [8]
