Hey, I wrote that article. :)

There are like a million sites picking up this piece now, my original article has gotten like 2000 hits in the last 12 hours. Finally, people are paying attention.

I may or may not have mentioned this on-board, but I honestly believe your years of hard work will eventually expose the fan base, as well as the general public, to the truth behind this franchise.  That's the reason I never discuss Star Wars77 without mentioning and\or linking to your sites.  Your knowledge & hard work make it possible for me to discuss my tiny Star Wars world with - as you so eloquently put it in another topic - normal people. 

I've never made any secret of the fact that Marcia Lucas is responsible for two of my top ten films moving me the way they did. Truth is, they might not even be in my top ten list if it weren't for her. She also contributed to the end of Raiders Of The Lost Ark ( a third in my top ten), a scene which I've always really liked (building steps).  However, without your book & web site to reference in discussions, that sentiment is lost on the masses.  The article linked above is proof that the truth will eventually get out there. 

Lucasfilm and the TFNers can spin, lie, revise, alter, and believe whatever they want.  In the end, they will be exposed and whether they accept it or not - they'll know the truth.

*edit*

For the record, I'm not above a little shallowness myself.  Along with Marcia shaping three of my favorite films of all time, I should point out that I've always found her very attractive.  This is my favorite picture of her.

Gorgeous.
