At present, my intentions are to write nine novels. I'm sorting out my concepts before attempting to write any chapters. Do you think a collaboration would be more productive? It could be a lot of fun. But it strikes me that there are some very different ideas being aired here which wouldn't co-exist as well as they could stand alone, you know?

I watched the OOT the other day (on my new S-VHS VCR - yay!) and it struck me that ESB has the best script of all three films. I was also struck by how much fault must be laid at ROTJ's door. The whole Anakin Skywalker = Darth Vader thing is only in ROTJ, Luke's sister = Leia is only in ROTJ, the musical numbers (the song that was replaced by 'Jedi Rocks' is actually pretty ropey to begin with) and burp jokes started in ROTJ. Off the back of that, I decided that I won't alter much, if anything, of ESB in my novelisation. It will be ROTJ that receives the most re-writing.
