^ Fan to George: “Will you do the first Trilogy, first, then the last one?”
George Lucas: “Yeah, I’ll do the first Trilogy, first. There are 9 floating around there somewhere… but I’ll guarantee that 3 are pretty much organized in my head, and there are a lot of notes on them. The other 3 are kind of out there somewhere.”

^ 'In 1987, WEG acquired a license from LucasFilm to produce a role-playing game based on the Star Wars franchise. In addition to the role-playing game, WEG also released Star Wars Sourcebook a 144-page hardcover book written by Bill Slavicsek and Curtis Smith.
In the 2014 book Designers & Dragons, games historian Shannon Appelcline noted that in 1986, Bill Slavicsek began working on Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game as developer and editor, then "Early in 1987, Slavicsek was also working on another important release: The Star Wars Sourcebook (1987), which he co-authored with Curtis Smith. This exhaustive sourcebook was one of the first references to really detail the Star Wars universe; even giving the names of some alien races for the first time. In many ways, it marked the start of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. The Sourcebook was released simultaneously with the Star Wars RPG later in the year.’
Even for those with little or no interest in playing the actual Star Wars Role Playing Game… this was an essential book for any Star Wars fan at the time…
…one of the first books that covered various bits of information regarding the Star Wars universe, including chapters on general spacecraft systems, starfighters, capital ships, space transports, droids, repulsorlift vehicles, Imperial ground assault vehicles, aliens, creatures, general equipment, lightsabers, stormtroopers, Rebel bases, Imperial garrisons, and the heroes and villains of the original trilogy of movies.
