Topic: The Greedo scene has been changed again. Don't look if you don't want to know.

Han and Greedo now fire simultaneously.  I can live with this re-edit, but I'd have preferred it the way it was originally.

The Jabba scene is much better done, now, also.

I was afraid of that. I had read this rumor a few days ago, and Hopped It would be wrong.

Well, I seem to remember that they both fired at the some time in the book, which was just the script in a different format. I'll look for it next time I go to Books-a-Million.

Well, at least its better than Greedo firing first.

Of course, you do know (though he is uncredited if I recall) the book was actually written by Alan Dean Foster and NOT George Lucas.  Alan Dean Foster was also hired to write a sequel to Star Wars if I recall...he was told to make it a cheap story that could be easy to produce and not cost much money.  The result...Splinter in the Minds Eye.  However Star Wars did excessively well and a nice chunky big budget and all sorts of other perks were granted and Lucas saw he could go ahead with another method...at which point Splinter in the Minds Eye was cast aside in favor of a new plot...and a more expensive movie...that of ESB and the rest is history...

Just some trivia to the unknown and uncredited author of the book Star Wars (though I think it was noted some time ago in one of the Star Wars magazines).

Cool, nice triva.

However, the book came AFTER the movie, and the man was told WHAT was to be in the book by that script. All he really did was fill in a few blank spots... the kind of stuff that you couldn't do with 1979 SFX.

Lucas still had final approval of how the book was written, so if it is in the book, it jives with how he wanted it.

Brace yourselves.... I'm about to nitpick!


Splinter _OF_ the Mind's Eye, not 'in'....


It wasn't bad, as far as my 12-year-old mind remembered.

[Voidwar]

splinter of the mind's eye was a great little book.

Hin and Kee were awesome, especially when one had to "clean out" the Imperial Walker 

I thought it really had the feel of the movies, and the empire/rebellion struggle.

[The_Joker]

Yeah, I enjoyed Splinter of the Mind's Eye, too.
