Blimey, that's me updated. I wasn't aware how convoluted it had all become! Ah, I long for the pre-internet days where we just had fanzines and the pace of information was, shall we say, more tempered. Or do I. Hm.

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time, is it in relation to anything specific? Hope it's something you can overcome easily. Take it easy. I'm laden with work to catch up on all weekend, most of which is other people's that they didn't finish (gah!), so I'll be online for the duration.

Thanks for all the extra info.

No problem. I've always been very passionate about movies, I guess. And since I am - as undoubtedly everyone on these boards - a SW and ESB fan, I'm very interested in how these movies came to be and recently - as you said - because of the internet there litterally has been an explosion of information on these topics. So once you start walking down the cyberpath, forever will it dominate your destiny. Meaning: when you start reading this stuff you keep hunting for more.

I really can recommend this book, the Secret History of Star Wars, it gives a great insight into these matters, and stays neutral. Well, not really neutral. It's the SECRET history of Star Wars, so it tries to unravel the truth behind George Lucas' recent statements... Great read.

On the rough time...Maybe I exaggerated a little. Yeah, I've been missing out on some sleep lately since there is some stuff going on right now that I'm working on. It's nothing serious. It's just you know... you spend your nights working on stuff only to find yourself the day after for not getting any sleep. The hours of work you do at night are ultimately lost during the day because you being a total wreck... It happens to me all the time. Bat habbit, I guess. And yes that's a pun. To quote from Batman Begins: "bats are nocturnal." I guess I am too. But it's not very healthy...
