STAR WARS scrip


It's a well known fact that when George Lucas made the original star wars movie in 1977, much of the dialogue was improvised by the actors on the spot. Recent research is bringing to light that this is because the movie was written in the middle of a writers strike. The full effect of this can be seen in this, the original script. I want to make it totally clear that this is, in fact, the original script, and is in no way anything I wrote in 45 minutes on the bus between Toronto and Kitchener.
