I had the first pop up you showed, brought back some memories
It's a beauty 🙂
That Sci-Fi Book Club version of the original Star Wars novelization is giving me heavy nostalgia.
Item of note, that original novel has George Lucas' name on it but the actual author was Alan Dean Foster.
Absolutely, the original hardback is fantastic and yes, George didn't really write it of course👍
Recently picked up a few of these but chasing better copies now
That can be tough!🙂
The UK printings of all the paperbacks from 1977 Star Wars, to Splinter of the Mind's Eye and the Han Solo books from Brian Daley are cool. Sphere books put them out, I think. That yellow cover and the raised Star Wars lettering with the alternate W they didn't use on the final posters or any thing like that. Also how cool is that THX paperback from noted science fiction author Ben Bova.
Thanks Matthew. You're right, it was Sphere/Futura who published the UK editions. They are almost iconic to anyone who read them at the time. The THX paperback is lovely, I might keep it!🙂
Cool . One of the first SW i read was Splinter In The Minds Eye .I first saw the book jacket displayed ,I had to wait a bit befor i found it in the library .I saw the Force book in a religious book store, but i did not buy. "Too much " publishers was useing SW to sell their products ( my bias opinion ) .The Hans Solo books worth a gander . I believe the three have been place in one book. The same for the Lando. Not sure how easy to find in good condation .Thanks for the video .
Thanks Sylvan! Yes, the Han Solo trilogy and the Lando books have been put into omnibus editions. Splinter is a great story👍
As I recall there's a sly reference to THX 1138 in the first SW movie when Han tries to fake an ID in the Death Star.
Yes, a cheeky little mention. The film is just plain weird these days🙂
Awesome
Thanks!
Disney shouldn't have never discarded the original Canon. 1:33
Well, they own it so I guess they can do what they want?
Jules i keep intending to ask you if youre collecting the hard case crime books? Love the covers and the content.
Absolutely, right here ...ua-cam.com/video/xXgAferBXRE/v-deo.htmlsi=pFH2REJ1Px_E2LqG
