"Are you sure about him?" The helmet concealed the face, but there was no mistaking the doubt in the voice as it's owner stared at the scowling young man in chains the squad had just brought in.

The Lieutenant sighed. "He's the only one we could find who fit the description. Cyber-maintenance skills, high-level butling skills, courage, discretion, proven ability to handle a high-stress work environment, astronomically high loyalty levels -- if he isn't good enough I don't know where else we'll find Lord Vader a new valet."

I have never actually had that urge until I saw this.... Go figure.

*nods* Which really says all you need to know about Lucas' writing.

Lucas writes?

[crabby-lioness.livejournal.com]

Lucas' writing is an example to us all. Specifically, his early drafts for Star Wars should be shown to every child with the message, "If this steaming mound of utter rubbish, so wretched the very paper is trying to crawl out from under the words written on it, can be turned into a halfway decent script through the Mighty Power of Rewrites, then there's hope for anything you lot can come up with."

I loved the original series and spent most of 1977 and 1978 in a Star Wars-induced daze, but I'm not blind to it's faults. I hope I live long enough to see a competent writer remake it.

I was being sarcastic, though perhaps I should curb my tongue--or keyboard, in this case. I've seen much, much worse stuff than Lucas'.

As for seeing a competant remake, I'm more optimistic about that being possible since the re-imagined Galactica came out, but I'm not holding my breath.
