Leave the movies to George Lucas they are his babies the only thing the authors of the novels are doing is helping them grow beyond the screen and in to the printed word, im sure you've seen books be made into movies well Star Wars is a movie made into everything you can think of But George Lucas created the Star Wars Universe, people keep critisizing him because they think he's doing a sorry job on the prequels I for one see him as trying his hardest to tell a story and finding new ways to do it, let him tell the story and let the authors tell the stories behind the stories and the things George Lucas may not get to tell so lay off of George's back, LONG LIVE GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN
