Post by NeoSuperBlissey »

Jonathan Rinzler (better known by his pen name of J.W. Rinzler), an author of well-received documentary books on Star Wars and Indiana Jones (among other films and franchises), has passed away at age 58 after an 11-month battle with pancreatic cancer.

In addition to his authoring of books like his series on the making of the original Star Wars trilogy and books on the making of "Aliens" and the original "Planet of the Apes," Rinzler also served as executive director of Lucasbooks (as the publishing arm of Lucasfilm was then known) from 2001 to 2016.
