I'm pretty sure you mentioned that you have John Knoll's book, Star Wars: 365 Days, but it was just something that came to mind as something that will probably be a good resource. In addition, if you haven't seen them already, these two books might come in handy:
- Industrial Light & Magic: The Art of Special Effects, by Thomas G. Smith
- Industrial Light & Magic: Into the Digital Realm, by Mark Cotta Vaz and Patricia Rose Duignan
They can be rather expensive, as I believe they are both out of print (not sure about that, but I think they're on the rarer side, at least), but one can get fairly good deals if one used for used copies on Amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com (I have Into the Digital Realm, and that's how I got it).
Hope this helps!
Take care,
