Thanks for the info, Skot. I get the impression the making of the HS would make for an interesting documentary or book.

Of course, this would entail Lucas revealing the true depth of his involvement with it. ;)

Which, if the truth were told, was actually very minimal. He basically handed CBS a story outline, recommended they use Nelvana for an animated feature, and told them to run with it. What happened after that had little or nothing at all to do with Lucas. Which means that could be further incentive for George to actually *want* the tale told...after all, the world at large thinks he made the HS and blames him for its awfulness, so telling the real story would clear his name to some degree!
