Only two pages of full narrative for the JOTW were ever written, but GL had evidently more in mind, judging by his outlines of people and places meant to appear in the film. I’ve tried to follow those as best I could, filling in the gaps by reference to the stuff he would’ve seen and associated with each particular locale/character/etc.

As for typing up the single known JOTW page, I’m way ahead of you.

Agreed that the GL of the 1970s was a terrible speller. (In fact, at least one SW book I’ve seen has digitally altered the first page of the ESB treatment to correct some of his misspelled words! Special Editionism goes deep…)

Whoa, I was WAY off. Somehow instead of Kissel I got Rinel! (which I thought was a perfectly good planet name, but whatever…)

That’s just hilarious, too. I can only hope he caught some of his typos when he typed it up. Otherwise Brackett was probably scratching her head trying to figure out what he meant.
