Heh. Could they possibly re-re-remaster it, for the "final" time?

And considering how good some of the those novels are (the Admiral Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn, especially), I honestly hope that Ep. III is the end for Star War films. ~KS

word.

even episodes 1 -3 contradict things greatly, namely the origins of Boba Fett, who was orignially a civilian named Jester Streel, never a bloody clone

and this buisiness of kashyyyk, that place was under imperial control for a LONG time ( meaning the books suggested the empire was around longer than the movies), han solo met chewbacca while he was serving there, and those 2 were running all around the galaxy smuggling drugs and that kinda stuff during the time of episode 3

i havent gotten around to reading the admiral thrawn books, ive read a few of the novels tho, great stuff

Really?!!! So, Han Solo would be at least as old as Vader by the time in episode 4~6. Then it would make him almost old enough to be Leia's (and Luke) dad, right?

Maybe human races age different in Star Wars universe... like Anakin grew up faster than Amidala?

About the novels contradicting the movies, I was under the impression that stories of the novels were largely created by their authors. Therefore it seems fine (if not better) for the movies (which George Lucas is directly creating) to contradict whatever Michael Stackpole felt like writing about Star Wars.
