Glad somebody else pointed out the "Usby" thing. I had been giggling about that and was about to post on it before I read Erik's. And also glad to see that you reference the Starkiller script site. I found that place back in '97 and fell in love. Printed out every damn thing they had on there and still have it all in binders here at the computer desk. I saved your writings to my hd and will read it while I am at "work" in the next week. I love these kinds of works as it shows just how far an idea can stretch once it is conceived. I also highly recommend to everyone the various essays and stuff on the Starkiller site linked from Zombie's page. The stuff there is invaluable to any behind the scenes SW buff.

Man, I really cannot WAIT for that Making of SW book in May. We can only hope that it is the real stuff and that Rinzler really used all of those interviews and writings that he had access to. Just too bad that Lipincott didn't get around to writing it back in '77. Would be nice to have a dusty old vintage paperback sitting on the shelf next to the Empire and Jedi Making Of books. Haven't read them in a while, but from what I remember, they have some great no holds barred stuff in them.
