Is Star Wars Based on a Book?
No. Though release of the novelization of the first Star Wars film preceded that of the film, Star Wars was always imagined, by creator/writer/director George Lucas, as a film (or series of films). When the book was released (with George Lucas’ name, but ghost-written by Alan Dean Foster), the film was already in production. Each […]

This story comes via Slashdot from the desk of Ghent on the new Star Wars blogs.
