Maybe you are right. All I am saying is you have to assume that everything he says is a lie and everything you read between what he does say is "how it really is".

It's all "Sure Lucas says A, but because of this and this and this, he must be lying and really means B."

It's just quite a bit of assumption on your part is all.


-The original Star Wars was the movie that brought him success, he poured his heart and soul into it, it was a huge struggle for a young film school graduate and he shined through.

-ESB and ROTJ weren't even directed by him.

-The prequels were made 20 years later with the technology attained with the billions of dollars he's accumulated over the years.

Seriously, if you were him, which one of those would be the most special to you?

As a LOTR convert, I think it was wise to leave out the Tom Bombadil scene, because it was the part of the book that made me stop reading. You see, I started reading shortly before the FOTR movie was about to come out because I wanted to know what I was in for. I thought it was great, but then around the part of the meeting in Tom Bombadil's house, it just dragged so slowly that I just put the book down. Then I saw the movie and realized how foolish I was, because right after that was when the story really started to pick up. So once I got home, I ripped the book open again and devoured it in a matter of days.

Quick question of the story: Was Goldberry supposed to be a She-Ent? She seemed to fit Treebeard's description...

And C3PX has a good point about Elijah Wood. Frodo was supposed to be in his fifties when he began his journey, and they get a 19 year old to play him. Feh.

But I've written other novels that only took two weeks. And if it's a story you know well, then all the faster.


Ingo's not talking about writing the novels, he just wants to transcribe them.

You can if you want to, I suppose, but overall I think it would be a bad idea.

My reasons:

1) That's a hell of a lot of work.

2) It's gonna take a hell of a long time to do.

3) I don't think many people will want to sit in front of their TV screens and read an entire novel. I've tried numerous times to read e-books on my PC, and I usually lose interest after a few minutes. There's just something about being able to hold it in your hands, ya know?

4) Aren't there copyright laws against doing that?

As far as I understood the prequels - he did reassemble a protocol unit from parts he scavenged on watto's junkjard. So he basically did not invent the protocol droid series 3P0 belongs to, he merely rebuilt one (which seems what JarHead413 was implying).


I think he was just hinting at the irrelevance of the prequels, MDS.

Glass is generally treated as an amorphous solid rather than a liquid, though different views can be justified since characterizing glass as either 'solid' or 'liquid' is not an entirely straightforward matter." Again, so much for neutrality.



My chemistry book last year classified glass as a "supercooled liquid".
