I know he wrote the book "Splinter in the minds eye" in 1978 but that is the only I have seen of Alan Dean Foster.

Yes, Keo, of COURSE ANH is GL's story! I never said that it wasn't! But someoine said he wrote ANH the book with the extra scenes and I just mpointed out that he didn't.
I assure you it is true, Finti. ADF wrote it for him. he very often wrties books of films (even books that come out before the film did...) And if you know ADF's style, you will see it there...

He must have written it as a Ghost Writer because he is not listed as the author on the sleeve, or infact anywhere in the book. The book has aways been published as authored by Lucas, to the best of my knowledge.
I guess, as a young director and writer at the time, it would make sense for GL to use a Ghost Writer, and if you're going to use one then you could do far woprse that ADF.

GL's listed as author on both my US paperback from 1977 as well as on the Dutch translation from the early eighties.

Like I say, he is always credited as author. This isn't a question of subsequent editions.

No. I wonder what changed his mind then.

Fair enough, but apart from your interpretation of the writing style, how else do we know that ADF did the deed?

I am surprised more people did not know this.
Here is an interview with ADF where it is mentioned.
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~light...erinterview.htm
If you look at publishing details for the book, it always says it is ghost-written by ADF. It is on numerous fan sites (including TFN)
GL doesn't like writing.

That's why the scripts are always just finshed the day before shooting.

Well, GL did write the script and that's why Jonathan Hale has come to help him on Episode 2.
