Pic related was intended to be the sequel to Star Wars 1977 (aka A New Hope) if in case Star Wars didn't do well at the box office and thus the sequel would only be a low budget production.
This book is the first time "Kaiburr crystals" are mentioned, being based off the "Kiber" crystal, a Force-amplifying talisman that was included in early drafts of the Star Wars story, but later eliminated by Lucas in favor of making the Force a more ethereal power.

Old fag here, I actually read that book when it was released back in the 80s
Even as a 12 yr old I thought it was poorly written
But that is nothing compared to the writing in the fucking PREQUELS

the comics better
I remember finding that book so where in my parents room as a kid and apparently my dad had picked it up back in the 80s
The reason the planet was so foggy and murky was so they didn't have to spend so much money on sets, or something along those lines. It was also before Harrison Ford agreed to reprise his role so Han and Chewie aren't present at all.
Stop discussing Star Wars
>in order to get the proper sounds for the raptors in 1993's Jurassic park, director Steven Spielberg came up with an effective and cost saving solution
>Spielberg would travel to schools for the mentally handicap during their recess hours and whip loose change at them, recording the sounds on a hidden microphone
>Spielberg was later quoted saying "And I didnt loose a dime either, literally! I always collected what I used back, plus anything that was dropped in the initial Scramble for cover"
>the charges against Mr. Speilberg are still pending
>>81902583
always wondered how they did that
>It was discovered that director Victor Salva had been molesting the film's 12-year-old star, Nathan Forrest Winters, during production.u

It sure sounds terrible from the plot synopsis.
Oh the Berenstain things I could tell you about this movie.

Its funny cause in this novel and Leigh Brackets work for ESB, there's more women. Lucas really was afraid of girls huh?

>Instead of Ripley having her final triumphant battle with the xenomorph and recording a captain’s log entry before grabbing hero cat Jones and tucking into hypersleep, Scott suggested the following: “I thought that the alien should come in, and Ripley harpoons it and it makes no difference, so it slams through her mask and rips her head off.” Next, Scott says, he’d have cut to the tentacles of the alien pressing buttons on the dashboard. “It would mimic Captain Dallas [Skerritt] saying, ‘I’m signing off.'”
