"You don't know ow bad things are, kid," Biggs interrupted. "Only the threat of the Rebellion keeps the Imperials from being even more evil. Out here on Tatooine, you don't hear much about the terrible things the Empire does. The Rebellion is growing, and I want to fight for the side I believe in."
The friends said a sad good-bye. Luke returning to the farm and Biggs going off to fight for his beliefs. Luke couldn't remember ever feeling so alone.
There were plenty of liberties taken with the script, and Darth Vader's violence, as well as most violence in general (the Greedo confrontation wasn't even mentioned, although the picture of his fried body, coincidentally, was in there). I love what they did with the Force choke scene...
On Death Star, the powerful new battle station, the Imperial leaders were holding a meeting. General Tagge, a young man who hated Darth Vader, said angrily, "The Rebels are more dangerous than any of you think. They have good ships and pilots. They also have the plans of the battle station, thanks to Lord Vader, who has not been able to find the data tapes. He has not found the location of the hidden Rebel fortress, either."
Vader was infuriated.
Not as much a man of action, huh? The coolest thing about the books, though, are the pictures. Very high quality images, especially of the end battle (why George ever thought the models needed replacing is beyond me), and a lot of them are from different angles than the images in the movie, which makes for a whole new experience. I'm so glad I have these.
There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.
