Laurent Hopman is a journalist and writer. As an editor in chief in the entertainment press for over twenty years, a specialist in American cinema, and an expert on the Star Wars universe, he has long worked in show business. Now a comic book writer, his passion for Star Wars inspired him to write the script for Lucas Wars, the first graphic novel to tell the story of George Lucas and the genesis of Star Wars.

Renaud Roche graduated from the famous Paris Gobelins School of Arts in 2002, and began his career in visual effects before turning to storyboarding and illustration. For almost twenty years, he worked in cinema, advertising, and press. In 2019, he joined the Illumination Mac Guff studio and helped create feature films, including Sing 2 and Migration. But it was his love of Star Wars that drew him to comics. After Lucas Wars, he decided to devote himself to the medium full-time.

"This is pop culture history of the first order." --Publishers Weekly

"An epic tale of creative struggles and triumph. Lucas Wars is a fascinating journey, whether you're a die-hard Star Wars fan or you can't tell Darth Vader from R2-D2. Most impressive!" --Jeffrey Brown, bestselling author of Darth Vader and Son

"The book is extremely well done, with a clean and unique style of artwork, easy-to-read dialogue, and an honest look at how it all went down." --theforce.net
