The end of Star Wars ANH is offensive...

The novelization of Star Wars was ghost written by Alan Dean Foster, who helped Lucas with some tweaking of the shooting script. Lucas is credited as the actual author. That's about as "canon" as you can get.

As a reward, Foster got to write the first post movie novel, Splinter of the Mind's Eye. He referenced the Kaiburr Crystal, which was in earler drafts of the movie, the MacGuffin the heroes were after. What was interesting was that Han Solo was referenced in the book only as "a smuggler [Luke] used to know", which suggests pretty strongly that originally, Solo was not really going to be involved in later stories. And Luke was still totally in puppy dog love mode with Leia. Cool book.

Splinter of the Mind's Eye was pretty good.:thumbsup:

    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

    • Icky has had a great year. He only struggled last game because he got hurt before halftime.
