As any SANE person would, I consider New Hope the first, the balance of that trilogy, two and three, and then that other stuff 4-6. It was only when she pulled out a box (the re-release of the FIRST movie) that I realized that some schmuck had renumbered them. Well, I adamently refuse to acknowledge the error. And I fight, fervently, to correct it in the 'yute' of today.

I remember The Adventures of Luke Skywalker and Journal of The Whills ... maybe that is what made me go looking for other books; not neccessarily the first 3 books. It was probably the later numbering that made me think it was the first 3 books I was looking for. I can't seem to find an image of the book I had (I know it was a paperback with a gold cover) to help shake the old memory tree to see what falls out.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05401863118078816763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883435.post-22446216942498679042007-05-25T19:30:00.000-04:002007-05-25T19:30:00.000-04:00"trying to figure out why I couldn't find the firs..."trying to figure out why I couldn't find the first 3 books in the adventures of Luke Skywalker"<BR/>Um, Mark, from what I remember, the original novelization of <I>Star Wars</I> had no reference that it was the fourth of anything. It was only when "Empire Strikes Back" was identified as Episode V that the "Episode IV: A New Hope" was added at the 1981 rerelease of <I>Star Wars</I>.<BR/>The only references in that novelization were "The Adventures of Luke Skywalker" and that was part of a larger "Journal of the Whills"<BR/><BR/>Tony C.<BR/>http://mahtwocents.blogharbor.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
