Zombie84- I've finished the body of this book, and am just starting the 2nd appendix, and all I can say is WOW.
Like others have stated, there was a lot I knew or suspected about the history, but to see it presented so thoroughly was extremely impressive.
I gotta say, though, that it's disappointing to learn the truth about the "Journal of the Whills". I remember when I first read the Annotated screenplays years ago (I was a very casual fan then), and was heavily intrigued by this journal I had never heard of. Now, years later, I learn that it was really nothing. Damn. Although, it is pretty cool that Lucas managed to find a way to include it in some capacity ("Will of the Force").
Oh, and at the end, when you mentioned the shouting of "Son of the Suns" during the Coruscant celebration scene at the end of ROTJ, well, I immediately popped in my dvd and sure enough, you can hear it! That was pretty cool.
Anyway, thanks for busting your ass to write that awesome book, Zombie84. Absolutely terrific job!

Heh, heh, really? Damn. Huttese, on Coruscant? Oh well.
