Write your reply.

assistant: What I have heard (this is a rumour) is that already at the making of
StarWars V, Leia (Carrie Fisher) was already having drug-problems, and
because of that, they had to retake the scene so many times, that in the
end, Harrison Ford had heard the line 'I love you' so many times, that
he just said 'I know' (instead of the original 'I love you, too').
Nobody wanted to retake the scene, so they just kept it that way, and in my
opinion, it's also _way_ more Solo-ish :)
Again, this is a rumour - it might be true, it might not be..

Write your reply.

assistant: If I can remember, perhaps it had to do with your message, or someone
elses, stating that myself and others just like the watching movies
and not reading. I think I assumed you meant by that comment that
we prefered movies to reading books in general but you, or someone else,
didn't quite mention that it was the SW books you were talking about.
Anyway, that's why I talked about other books since I wasn't aware
you were talking specifically about the SW series of books. Sorry.
Yeah, I did try to read the SW books when they first came out and I
actually bought and read the first 2 books released. I wasn't very
happy with them so I didn't continue. They may have gotten much better
since Lucas is taking a look at them for ideas for his new trilogy.
I enjoy reading all kinds of books and magazines when I have the time.
CYA!
