...young Master Rusty spent three months compiling his collection, which his mother typed up. George Lucas, 38, the father of us all, approved the project, and that means the Force will be with it upon publication in November. How many legs does a Probot have? Four-but even I, Obi-Wan Kenobi, had to run the films through my Betamax for that one. As to the others, Luke, you must search out the answers for yourself...

Ben did not say that the place is all jungles and swamps, and Luke soon finds himself knee deep in muck...
...back, as menacing as ever, as will Princess Leia, Han Solo, the Wookie Chewbacca and computerdom's cutest robots, Artoo Detoo and Threepio. There will also be several new characters, "of various genres," as Creator George Lucas phrases it, together with "aliens, robots and others, including humans." What about Obi-wan-Kenobi, the role that last week brought Alec Guinness an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor? Lucas is suddenly circumspect.
