 It's very nice, too. Infinitely better than Kenner's 1995 masculine Leia.

Write your reply.

assistant: Is it just me, or are you trying to say you don't feel Lucas fits your
 idea of a "real" director?
 I don't know what your idea of a "real" director is, but to say that some-
 one is not a legitimate director because of his/her choice of genres is
 ludicrous. (Besides it can be argued that Lucas has directed nothing but
 "dramas").
 If I were to criticize Lucas' directing talents, about the only thing I
 could say is that he's only directed three films: the remake of his student
 film, THX-1138, one of the most critically accliamed films of all time,
 American Graffiti, and of course, we all know the third one (I hope). But,
 his small output says nothing of his track record, much less his amazing
 film producing career and his industry-leading companies.
 OK, back to being a director. A director's merits should be measured on how
 well his/her vision is transferred to film, right? In Lucas' case, I think
 it's safe to say that his visions have been realized completely. Or, in the
 case of the SEs, they *finally* have been fully realized.
 In any case, I'd like to hear who some of your favorite directors are. Care
 to drop any names?

assistant: Geez, get a grip, Darnley. I recall several SW TV shows. There was the
 1978 Holiday Special (although quality didn't play a role there..), Droids,
 Ewoks, and the Ewok TV Movies. Those had high production values, but I had
 a problem putting them on the same shelf as my beloved trilogy. So, yes,
 a SW TV show is generally a bad idea. I'd love to see a new cartoon in the
 vein of Droids, though. But please, no Young Jedi Knights cartoons!!!

Write your reply.

assistant: I'm not going to go so far as to say "you're so wrong it's sad", I'll
 just say that you are wrong.
 Of course there is a process by which Lucasfilm keeps some amount of
 control over their licensed properties. No book would bear the SW title if
 that wasn't true.
 But Lucas, and also just about every SW author has said time and again,
 that the movies and books are two completely different entities. The movies
 are Lucas' SW, and the books are another person's creation. The authors
 were never guided and/or coached by Lucas as to what to write. There are
 simply guidelines that define what and when is not appropriate to cover.
 Therefore, no licensed novel comes close to "Lucas' vision", as you claim,
 other than the author simply making a good guess as to what he/she thinks
 that is. And sometimes, the author isn't even trying to come close to
 "Lucas' vision". Sometimes they have their own vision of their own story,
 and that's fine, too, for what it is.
 You can attach whatever personal meaning you want to any novel, RPG, or
 any spin-off product you like. We all do. That's the beauty of them, and
 sometimes, a testament to how well Lucasfilm runs their licensing divsion.
 I'm just spelling out for you, and for anyone, exactly what these products
 are, physically, as said by their creators and licensers. That's all.
