WORTHLESS!?!
Excuse me, but most all of it makes more sense than gas from beans :>
I don't care how "Lucas" it is, it is just a helpful and usefull sorce of
information that makes my teenie brain say, " Ah, how simple." Many books
spawned off of the Original Trilogy, and Lucas said it was good. Another
bunch of movies (and specials) spawned from the Original Trilogy and the fans
said, "Bleoch!" I have followed Star Wars and seen and read everything since
I was 4 (waaaay back in '77) to the point that I know enough to know that
Lucas reserves the right to call anything he did not personally write so much
poo-poo. If you don't want discussion material or helpful info, then don't
cruise the discussion groups with superiority. I merely suggest another
source for the Questioner's knowledge. Geez, this Star Wars bunch is awful
touchy!
Doesn't anybody ever watch anything else, like campy "Red Dwarf" for our goof-
ball entertainment?
How in the great wide wilderness can you call anything Star Wars "real". Good
grief.
