    Awesome. I already have the previous two booms for Star Wars and Empire. Just flat out awesome reads.

    Well if those books boomed (exploded) Rolla, I'm sure you were flat out.

    I'm looking forward to owning the third in the series.

    Interesting...

    Particularly the suggestion that David Lynch was looked at as a director for ROTJ. Or maybe I should say, particularly frightening. Considering the mess he made so many things.

    But, frankly, I'd rather they get the book out now, than a synopsis. I don't wanna wait till October!

    Yes, I'm eager to read it.

    ^It's only just over six months left! Apparently, the e-book version will have some bonus content (and the other two OT-"Making of..." books will be released as e-books with bonus content).

    Six months is a long, long time...

    I could write a book in six months. Maybe two, if they were short. And I didn't get hit with writer's block, or the usual string of calamitous events--a lot can go wrong in six months...but I digress.

    Mighty blasters! eBook versions! I'll have to go check if there are preorder versions at Amazon.

    Pardon me while I do a little Windows shopping.

    EDIT: Just took a look around Amazon, and...though the eBook is listed at the link you posted earlier, Magnus, no joy at Amazon. Which means now I'm gonna have to wait for the eBook preorder while I'm waiting for the hardcover to get here. That's just too much waiting.

    Entertainment Weekly has published the cover and five "unseen" photos (I've seen two or before, but the cover looks nifty):
