> You guys all keep on arguing about the movie version. Since this all happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away and since **somebody** has the original story that Lucas based the films on. Can anyone provide a cite to the original sources?

Uh… dude, the script of the movies as approved by Lucas IS the original source. Any novelizations come from the movies, not vice-versa.

Ya know, I gotta say, I never thought I’d see a reference to _that_ in a _Star Wars_ thread. I wonder how Tyler Durden would feel about it?

You are not your job.

You are not how many credits you have in the bank.

You are not the starfighter you fly.

You are not the contents of your wallet.

You are not your fucking life support armour!

You ae the all-singing, all-dancing Dark Side of the Force.
