I always wondered why in 1985, when everyone was using Japanese animation studios because they were good and cheap, George went with the weak Canadian studio Nelvana?

Now I watch this interview and find out that Tokyo Movie Shinsha (arguably the best TV animation studio at that time) actually did some sort of pilot to try and get a Star Wars cartoon series going.

It really bothers me that A) George blew this opportunity and B) I'll never get to see this footage and it will just rot away in some guy's attic.
