I like unauthorized because it has mark hamill talking about the sequel trilogy before the prequels were made, and of course it has Charlie Lippincott who is a real nice guy and has some interesting things to say. They should have let Mr Lippincott finish his making of star wars book, instead of that guy who did the prequels books.
I don't want a making of star wars book by anyone involved in the making of the special editions or prequels, just the guy who conducted the interviews and such when it was an unkown item simply called star wars.
Mr. Charles Lippincott, as well as George Lucas and Donald F Glutt all shared a common love for flash gordon and the movie serials of buster Crabbe as well as comic books.
I believe Donald F. Glutt was also asked to pen the novelization for star wars but turned it down, and alan dean foster stepped in and wrote it.
would sci fi fans have heard of star wars if not for mr lippincott's presentation at the world science fiction convention , i highly doubt it. he with the help of Roy Thomas also sold the movie as a comic to stan Lee, as well as got it out as a novelization under the then new ballantine imprint del rey, who's first book published was terry brooks sword of shannara.
