Title: rewritten books? Why?
Review: It would seem that this author has taken it upon herself to re-write all of the Star Wars books. I don't know how she got permission, or why. I was about to buy this until I noticed that these books were not the original. George Lucas originally novelized A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Now I admit, they weren't more than taking the scripts and making them prose, which was a bit dull, but they were the originals. The second trilogy was novelized by three different authors. Phantom Menace was written by Terry Brooks and he did a wonderful job.Now tell me why I would want to buy this series when they are not the original stories? Are they junior novels and edited for a younger age group? It doesn't say so in the information given. If that's the case, then I would understand and maybe even buy it for my kids.
Is the review positive or negative?
