A very revealing and factual book.
From the book section of the An Index & Help Thread for ‘The Expanded Universe’ section…
Michael is/was an OT member here, and you can find more of his stuff on here in threads on his book. Seems a cool guy:
The Secret History Of Star Wars - by Michael Kaminski (OriginalTrilogy•com member zombie84)…
^ essential reading on the actual revision-free history of Star Wars - and not the retconned official version from George & Lucasfilm.
• The Secret History of Star Wars thread on the book - by zombie84 (2007 thread)• The Secret History of Star Wars - now available in print - by zombie84 (2008 thread)
• The Secret History of Star Wars Audiobook - by ryanvb (2014 thread)
• zombie84’s ‘Secret History of Star Wars’ website (kindly re-hosted by none) - for intriguing information about the book.
• zombie84’s ‘Saving Star Wars’ website - for general information on the history and suppression of the theatrical version of the Original Trilogy films, the debunking of George’s many retcons & claims, and also covers the Special Edition changes. As of Sept 2011.
Some of his work from the Secret History of Star Wars and the Saving Star Wars website are also in these pinned OT threads:
An OriginalTrilogy.com Timeline | a history of the site | the why & how it came to be…
George Lucas: Star Wars Creator, Unreliable Narrator & Time Travelling Revisionist…
I remember him and and many others getting banned from TFn for just simply talking about the OOT, and George rewriting Star Wars history, back in early or mid 2000’s. TFn mods and members just couldn’t handle it and the mods started purging OOT fans from there, and also people correcting or highlighting George’s new bullshit “masterplan” history. Many ended up on here and other similar websites. There is more on that in An Index & Help Thread for Original Trilogy Discussion.
I love the book and will have to read it again soon. I hoped for a long time that he may do a documentary or video series on it, but I doubt it would happen now. People seems to lap up and worship videos more than books in the past few years.
What do you think of the book MinchD36?
