my question is will it be more of mr. lucas revisionist history and not what actually happened with the original making of the film.
Back in the day they were supposed to release a book called the making of star wars written by Charles (Charlie) Lippincott and being the book collector i am i've found out that it never was released even though you can find it's isbn on amazon. I would rather see this published because he was there from the get go as the publicist, and was on the set as a spectator. Plus he was an avid flash gordon fan and really loved this movie because it brought back the nostalgia of a more innocent and fun time.
Just like the old documentaries were good honest making of specials not propaganda like empire of dreams although is has some nice tidbits.
I would like to read a book on star wars written by Gary Kurtz or empire by Irvin Kershner because at least they are honest in there account of how it came to be made.
Star wars went down hill on jedi because of the fact of the hiring of Kazanjian a yes man if there ever was one and a precurser to rick mcallum.
Yes people butted heads on the making of empire and it cost more money than star wars but that makes it a far better film. Kersh must have been so sick of it that's why he turned down jedi and this was before lucas left the dga.
