It SOUNDS like there will be some real meat in there. If Rinzler was allowed to include what he wanted as far as the interviews that Lippincott conducted back in the 70's, as well as a lot of the information he found on his own through interviewing Hellman, Tong and Pollack (strange that there is no mention of Ladd Jr. and that they claim an inside view from Fox has never been explored as Ladd has been interviewed numerous times on what was going on behind closed doors at the studio), then this could really be a nice book to slip in front of Once Upon A Galaxy to form the Making Of trilogy on my bookshelf. For years that space has been occupied by Skywalking and Empire Building. The making of books from back in the day took a kind of warts and all approach to the subject from what I remember (been a few years since I read them). But sadly with the current state of LFL, I highly doubt that any kind of REAL look at Lucas' 70s-state-of-mind will be allowed to be released in an official form. Look at how Lucas treats any interview he did pre-SE. He laughs it off as if it was media bias and says that everything he said back then was taken out of context. While this certainly could be the case in some instances, the guy acts like the entire world was out to get him back then and that he didn't say ANYTHING that he is quoted as saying. He will even sit there and dispute quotes caught on video in his OWN LFL produced vintage documentaries! But, Empire Of Dreams was good and there have been a few other recently produced docs that touched on some of the real troubles that were going on back then. So who knows. This thing could end up being a really good read. I PRAY that they don't chop down the Lippincott interviews TOO much. Other than the BTS photos, those will be my most looked forward to aspects of this release.

Shit... now I feel like starting with Skywalking and reading all the way through the Making of Sith. Heheh.
