A bit of Star Wars trivia

All this thinking about Star Wars has reminded me about a little interesting historical footnote. After the release of Return of the Jedi, I was at a convention and picked up a little ditty called STAR WARS III: FALL OF THE REPUBLIC by John L Flynn. Purported to be a story treatment for what was then expected to be the next movie, it is, of course, completely bogus, and I think I really even knew that at the time. But it's the reason I have to keep reminding myself that the capital of the Republic is called Coruscant, and not Jhantor. And just to prove that as the eBay commercials say, nothing is ever lost, nothing is ever forgotten, sure enough it's now online.

Somehow that just makes me feel good.
