Great entry on The Black Gate site! I had to smile at the mention of Don's novelization of THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. The other day I was going through a stack of paperbacks I had on hand, which included the six novelizations of Lucas' cosmic saga. Funny how each of the prequel novelizations is about as long as all three of the original trilogy novelizations combined. There was a time when novels didn't have to be as long as Gone With the Wind. (I remember talking to a publisher in the late Eighties who told me his company would not handle any manuscript that wouldn't yield a novel running at least 600-800 pages in length. I just shook my head and smiled, thinking of all the great books--some of them classics--that ran half that length, maybe less.)
