assistant: On Thu Nov 20, Steve Bolen said to Brion Lienhart:
Watch the movie again (always a good idea anyway), when Luke and Vader
started dueling is when the tide turned against the Empire's forces both on
the ground and in space. The Emperor stopped paying attention to his forces,
and the sudden lack of coordination caused the Imperials to do stupid things,
like opening the hatch when Chewbacca knocked on it, or running into the
Death Star.

Yeah, if Bob Hope can do K-Mart commercials, Alec Guinness can do
voiceovers. Maybe even Guinness Beer commercials.
Opening Scene: Man sitting in living room watching TV, drinking a
Budweiser. Alec Guinness dressed as Obi-Wan pops onto the screen and
says, "You don't want to drink that brand." The man replies, slowly,
confusedly, "I...don't want...to drink...this...brand." He eyes the
beer with a puzzled look on his face and then throws it away. Then
Obi-Wan hands him a Guinness and says, "Trust your feelings." The man
smiles, nods his head, and drinks away. Obi-Wan then says, "Well, my
work here is done," whereupon they flash to Yoda who says, "No, there
is another..." and a "To Be Continued..." banner appears on the screen.

assistant: :) I think Luke was right.
'Your overconfidence is your undoing'
Palpatine was supremely confident of his mastery over the dark side, and he
made the same mistake of arrogance that Thrawn made, that his closest people
would never openly betray him. Sure, Palpatine knew that Vader was plotting
against him, but Palpatine also knew he had the upper hand.. neither Vader
nor Luke would have been able to defeat him directly. Palpatine was far from
suicidal.

Write your reply.

assistant: hat
        you're right, it was just a rumor.  i don't remember where i heard
        or read it, but i do remember it being a 'this is what we think
        MIGHT be' situation.  but, in light of what we know, i think its a
        reasonable rumor.  of course all this might stay rumor forever.  in
        the most recent insider, there's a n interview with lucas and he
        specifically says six movies, that the story he wrote was episodes
        one through six, and that anything else would be a sequel to that
        story.
        wasn't leia pregnant with anakin in zahn's book, or was that the
        twins?  anyways, the first book i remember with anakin was the
        crystal star.
       i think that if sequels were ever made, lucas would pay attention to
       the novels... he just seems to be the type to pay attention to those
       kind of details and continuity.  i think with trek, the problem is
       that there are so many of them... it would be impossible to be
       faithful to them all.  the star wars novels haven't reached that
       point yet... hopefully they never will!  i don't think it would be
       so daunting a task to do with star wars.  there aren't many MAJOR
       continuity flaws that i can think of... lucasarts attention no doubt.

        Very good point, which would also lend a little more weight to the
whole idea that Luke just wasn't ready to face Vader.  He wasn't a Jedi yet.
Look at the huge difference between Luke at the end of ESB and the beginning
of ROTJ.  That's a lot of growth -- and more control!
