Anyway, for anyone who has read these, wouldn't you want to see a TV series - or perhaps even just a fan movie (flash or LA) showing the story of the first one, from the perspective of ghost (I'm sure there's another term for that...) Obi-Wan? You konw, it could start out something like this.
DAGOBAH
(((a voice seeming far off, or perhaps subtitles as getting an Alec Guiness impersonator would IMO disrespect him))) Oh! Hello there, young one. If you're seeking Yoda, he has passed away. I am Obi-Wan, and I was a student of his.
Oh, I see; you can't see me, but you can just barely hear me. With proper training in the force, perhaps you could see me.
*sigh* it seems only yesterday when I was almost a farmer... do you care to hear my story?
END SCENARIO
Something to that effect.
A sample chapter of the first book is available at http://www.scholastic.com/titles/starwars/jedisamp1.htm
Reviews are available at http://www.amazon.com/Rising-Force-Star-Wars-Apprentice/dp/0590519220
I have a bad feeling that this idea won't be received well...
