I haven't seen the "vault" book in person yet, but it seems like it might be an amped-up version of "The Star Wars Scrapbook-The Essential Collection" (also by Sansweet) that came out a few years back (in other words, maybe a bit gimmicky?)
I've been debating whether or not to get the "vault" book, but "the making of" was a no-brainer for me.

cannot wait for his definitive making of raiders of the lost ark.
rinzler's next book sadly is the making of indy IV to tie in with when the movie comes out.
the coolest thing about the vault as far as i'm concerned is the reproduced pages of lucas empire strikes back handwritten treatment. from what i've heard it is only a couple of sample pages and is not complete, unless someone here says otherwise.
i've never understood why lucasfilm just does not release the scripts and prototype scripts and film treatments to the public in terms of "editions" in book form.
yes i know rinzler analyzes the journal of the whills treatment in the making of star wars but they did not reproduce it as a facsimile inside the book.

Then everyone would know that Anakin Skywalker wasn't the main idea from the beginning.

they are going to squeeze the making of four movies into like 500 pages or something and give a minimalist take on it great, just great.
hey at least del rey is reprinting the indiana jones trilogy as an omnibus edition for those who never got to own the books they have been out of print and hard to find unless you use ebay and abebooks and shell out a lot of money or get shitty dog eared reading copies.
as for the novelization of indiana jones IV i could not give a rats ass about that. i willl decide whether or not i will go see the film when i actually get a hold of the script and read it.
i hope the revised making of empire strikes back and return of the jedi are not thrown together in a single book they deserve their own release.
