Not knowing about the above discussion, I agree with you guys. The book is long-winded, and thats the most consistent complaint people have, and I agree, so that's my focus for the second edition.

However, it really did perplex me that IGN thought I was being hard on Lucas. Really? Really? I thought I painted a very human portrait of him. If you want to see me being hard on him, that's about as gushing a portrayal as I think I am capable of. The review did have a heading "in defense of Episode I", which I already thought I did an honest job of defending as much as is reasonable, so I guess that's the crowd you are dealing with. But whatever, no such thing as bad publicity as they say.

I did come here to announce that Save Star Wars officially has a Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Star-Wars/353462731392141

I at first considered sharing Mielr's similar page but this is just easier.
