Someone Writes the Secret History of Star Wars

Now here's something intriguing for anyone who grew up techie. Someone has used something like 400 secondary sources to create a free e-book called The Secret History of Star Wars. It covers 40 years and attempts to answer such questions as:

• Where did Lucas get his ideas for the original film?


• How and why did he make Darth Vader into the father of Luke Skywalker?


• What happened to the third trilogy?


• How did the second trilogy - the prequel - come about?

If you're a Star Wars fan, this would seem to be somethingyou couldn't pass up - trivia that is free.
