The Star Wars Chapters
Does anyone know how to get the original Star Wars books? I presume that there's 10 books in all and I was wondering if you can aquire them from anywhere.

Do you mean that the books came out in 1977 or the film? I mean the books, if there are any.

Now I'M Confused...
All I'm asking is that, as there are 10 chapters to the Star Wars saga, is there a range of original books that ever came out ie. Chapter One: The Phantom Menace, Chapter Four: A New Hope etc. I've been interested since Star Wars first came out, and the story line at the beginning began CHAPTER IV - A NEW HOPE blah,blah,blah.

There aren't ten parts; there never were. There was at first nne and three spin-offs, long since reduced to six, two of which haven't even been finished yet!
All the novelisations are still generally available, I think.

I'm sure you can find scripments of the original nine out there somewhere. They'd be on teh internet most likely. But those are way different than the movies. Leia isn't even Luke's sister in them. And Luke would be Luke Starkiller.

I don't know.
I always thought that there were ten chapters, and out of those, George Lucas picked the best three films to be made as a trilogy. I remember him on a saturday morning childrens show (Something like Swap Shop, Tiswas or the one with Mike Read the DJ) saying that he only did the trilogy because nothing really happened in the others! He also said that about a chapter inbetween TESB and ROTJ i think. Does anyone else recall any of this?

No, and none of it is true, as numerous interviews with GL will show, and there are NO plotlines for 7 8 and 9 available as GL only had the very barest outlines of what thge stories might possibly have been, none of which is relevant any more.

The chapter between ESB and ROTJ might be Shadows of the Empire. He probably told the story to the writer of the book. Then again I think you mistook what GL said.

Well...
...you could be right, I could have been mistaken as it was a long, long time ago, but I still haven't got any info on the original books, IF there were any. I've scanned through endless Star Wars sites about the origins of the stories and characters, but each one is different. I've read one about there being 10 chapters, one about Luke Starkiller, which on the fourth attempt of a story became Star Wars (hence the Chapter IV) and another saying that GL writes them as he goes along.
I'm just intrigued by these books, if there are any, and would love to get hold of them and I am sorry if I'm boring anyone to death with this.

I rememebr and interview in the paper when they were in Norway(Finse) for the Hoth scenes in ESB. There GL said that he had a story that went through nine episodes and r2d2 and 3po were the only ones to be in all nine. Later he ditched the plans of chapters 7, 8 and 9.
Bottom line: 9 episodes, and this comming from the MAN himself.

They'll make 3 more. It will give Lucas another billion dollars.
