Saw last five reels of Director's Cut of Jedi--some scenes different/longer. Saw Lucas's re-cut of sarlacc scene. Writing, up to page 40...

Watched the first seven reels of the director's cut of Revenge of the Jedi at SR this morning on a KEM; sound is really 50% of picture.

Yesterday started writing rough draft Making of Jedi. After 7 months, 530 pages, 218,000 words of research. More to do, but had to start...

Found elusive revised second draft of Jedi at SR--interesting collage script. Hit 150,000-word mark--still only research. Urk, as they say.

lots of other tidbits in his feed.

Sounds like the book is coming along with much info to be discovered.  Hope it's longer then the ESB book, which looks a little skimpy next to the SW making of book.

Wonder how close the revised second draft is this revised rough draft: http://starwarz.com/starkiller/2010/03/revenge-of-the-jedi-revised-rough-draft/
