Alan Dean Foster. the same guy responsible for Splinter of a minds eye. I think I will steer clear of that.

A pox on double posts! Why does this site have no edit button?

Ask not for extra features on the site, lest Smilies are thrust upon us!  Purity of function is the watchword.  But I know what you mean.

Hmmmm, true. 'Tis a fine line indeed......

(Spelling and punctuation corrected for free)


No. It was a direct sequel to the original 'Star Wars' (not referred to as 'A New Hope' till it was re-released some time in the early '80s) written before ESB was plotted out, and according to my early edition copy, it's from 'The Adventures of Luke Skywalker'.


Stick that in your nerd-pipe and smoke it.

But that novel was utter drivel SPOILERS








Luke incapacitated, Leia severing Vaders arm then knocking him down a pit, force sensitive woman giving no mention of Clone Wars or link with the Skywalker name. Utter tosh.

To be treated like Millar Dredd, does not compute.

I think not. Millar Dredd had an established continuity to piss over. Dean Foster had nothing but the original novel/film to go off. Sure, based on what's sprung up since it comes off badly, but judged in original context it holds out ok.

[dweezil2]

Don't Luke and Leia get "giggy with it" in that novel?

[ThryllSeekyr]

Yes, I remember that bit.

[vzzbux]

Lucas already had his basic back history and forthcoming films prepared, I think read somewhere or was told that foster just went ahead and wrote it ignoring provided literature. It was such a long time ago, and yes Luke was definately ogling Leia's curves and having a few knob twitches.
