Get it Gomer? There's no earthly way he can be happy about this, and if he is, then he's nuts. But there's no way of knowing, so its a total moot point anyway.

He may or may not be happy, but it sounds like to me that he was bought off. He has a book to sell. In order to sell it, he needs Lucasfilm's permission to publish stuff they have the copyright on for Star Wars, and he has a foreword by Lucas. So he had to accept everything with a happy smile on his face, or Lucas wouldn't of given him the rights in the first place. So no matter what he personally thinks of it, I'd be very suprised if he said anything against the CGI.
