Star Wars came out and I discovered Dungeons and Dragons or was it that OD&D discovered me?<br />Back in those bygone days I consumed everything Star Wars I could get my hands on and with my latest acquisitions the other day I began to look around the net and discovered that a series of articles that show cased some of the early works of George Lucas had been updated! </b><br /><b> I printed out the ten page article  of 'The Luke Star Killer Source book'! <br />This isn't a game book instead its a look into one of the most interesting early drafts of the Stars Wars sage.<br />Here's an introduction and synopsis of the article by the author.<br /><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 19.59375px; text-align: start;">'This mini-sourcebook contains background material from the Second Draft of Star Wars, supplemented with selected material from the first draft, both of which were written by George Lucas. This sourcebook was written in preparation for my sequel to the Lucas script, “</span><a href="http://www.starwarz.com/starkiller/fan/ondos.htm" style="color: #2f83b2; line-height: 19.59375px; text-align: start;"><span style="color: black;">Princess of Ondos</span></a><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 19.59375px; text-align: start;">“. <br />This source book details the major characters, planets, and factions of this early version of Lucas’ Star Wars universe. <br />This information is based entirely on the work of George Lucas. –Brendon Wahlberg' </span></b><br /><br /><b>All your favorites are there but this is a very different universe. The source book reads like an odd mash up of Flash Gordon, bits of Dune, a dash of Errol Flynn, and some very weird Space Western elements thrown into a blender set to Samurai on high. <br />This isn't a bad thing at all.<br />There are a lot more Jedi in the movie, the places are familiar but the characters we know and love are set someplace else on the stage. Again this isn't a bad thing at all. This would make a hell of an old school rpg campaign as well as is! That's right the material is very much in the old school action/adventure space tradition if you can find players willing to deal with this one!<br />The author boils down into a very well thought out sourcebook all of the essential elements right into ten pages. Again things are familiar but very different and very dangerous.<br />Storm troopers have laser swords!  Sorry no light sabers here and the familiar fanon can get you killed quite easily.<br />There are other faces that are seen through a glass darkly and their not at all as you might remember them. Tarkin as a good guy! Oh my! </b><br /><b>Luke, Leia, Han are all different and their are many veterans of other conflicts in the background. The Empire is expanding, the Star Killer is retiring, and the death star is moving ever so slowly towards universe domination! </b><br /><b>This is a brand new universe and you can put your own thumb print on it.
