The First Star Wars Draft (was terrible)
 

'May the force of others be with you all'

(Another sterling entry from the mystery blogger who brought you The "Raiders" story conference)

---

In its first incarnation R2 droned, Leia was a motif, Wookies were amateur suicide pilots, and the whole thing stank of the taxing tax-talk and bottled pseudo science of Episode 1.

Some things stayed of course, or are recognisable: a final escape from the 'star fortress' amongst the garbage; there's a Skywalker (altho the hero is called StarKiller) & general persecution by the Empire of plucky people with 'laserswords'.

Hmm, and according to one guy in the comment's section, the makers of Howard the Duck fixed up the later scripts for him. I guess that absolves some of their sins ;)

Hey, I love Howard the Duck.

Ever noticed how Howard has a Lucas quiff? Reckon they were saying something there ;)

Alls I know is, it had ducktits in it. Can I still say ducktits? Super.

Matter of fact, I'm changing my avatar for theme week...

If Howard the Duck doesn't qualify as a cult movie, then I don't know what does.
