I'm sure something similar could be done, but I'd rather see the original, even recast. In my mind, Splinter is an insight into the early concepts of Star Wars and the direction in might have gone. All subsequent literature has been much more restricted by the expanding canon of various levels. But this book has such a fresh and different perspective that I'd love to see in motion. Its appeal to me is its contradiction to more recent sources.
BTW, I read that Foster was really shocked when Luke and Leia turned out to be siblings, considering just how romantic many of their moments are in SOTME. I thought that was pretty funny.
