The Splinter of the Mind's Eye foreward by George Lucas. Can someone post it?

It would be much appreciated.

 

I'll do it, but you gotta' give me some....












...time, not money.

Edit:

Introduction:

It wasn't long after I began writing Star Wars that I realized the story was more than a single film could hold. As the saga of Skywalkers and Jedi Knights unfolded, I began to see it as at ale that could take at least nine films to tell--three trilogies--and I realized, in making my way through the back story and after story, that I was realling setting out to write the middle story.

After Star Wars was released, it became apparent that my story--however many films it took to tell--was only one of thousands that could be told about the characters who inhabit its galaxy. But these were nto stories that I was destined to tell. Instead they would spring from the imagination of other writers, inspired by the glimpse of a galaxy that Star Wars provided. Today it is an amazing, if unexpected, legacy of Star Wars that so many gifted writers are contributing new stories to the Saga. This legacy began with Splinter of the Mind's Eye, published less than a year after the release of Star Wars. Written by Alan Dean Foster, a well-known and talented science-fiction author, Splinter was promoted as a "further adventure" of Luke Skywalker. It hit the bookstores just as I was preparing to write my own "further adventure" of Luke, in the form of a script entitled The Empire Strikes Back.

It seems only fitting, after all these years, that Splinter would be republished as I prepare once again to write antoher further adventure set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

Thanks guy. I appreciate it.

 

No problem. Just out of curiosity, what did you need it for?

 

We had a minor canon debate over in PSA, that's all.

 

Oh...
