I would like to point the geek community in the direction of this neat little website that I found to be very entertaining:
I remember visiting this site a long, long time ago. I was looking up info on the urban legend regarding Episodes VII, VIII, and IX.
According to legend, Lucas had written all 9 episodes and had them locked away in a secret vault at the Ranch. It’s the kinda tale I heard on the playground right before ‘Return of the Jedi’ came out. At 13, it was all I could think about. Wow, six more movies!!! Much later in life circa 1996 the rumour began to circulate again this time around the ahem watercooler. I began to scour the internet for info on the lost scripts. There aren’t any of course, just a load of phonies. Some with intriguing concepts but fakes none the less. Ah, good times.
Have you read the Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn? Heir to the Empire/Dark Force Rising/The Last Command?
If there’s anything that comes as close to a third trilogy as it gets, it’s this series. A big-time page-turner!
Of course. I have the hardcover, paperback, Audiobook, and PDF. During the early 90s this was the only new Wars out there. It launched a resurgence which lead to Lucas releasing the Special Editions. Mara Jade is the shizzac. Zahn is awesome, the whole time I could hear John Williams throughout.
