The Secret History of Star Wars
Michael Kaminski wrote the definitive text on the origins of the story of Star Wars. It's a long read still in need of a final edit, but it reflects an independent look at the facts regarding the evolution of the scripts for the saga. You'll find many tidbits on how much Lucas was actually influenced by the public as he created each movie not from a master plan, but by the seat of his pants. Ergo, the up and down success of each of the films instead of a definitive cinematic and literary legacy.

Return to Mos Eisley: Review of the DVD Trilogy
Will Brooker wrote a entertaining and critical review of the DVD trilogy. He's a professor of film studies at Kingston University in London and is by profession an expert on Star Wars. Using the Force was an analysis of Star Wars fans published in 2002 by Continuum. He also has a new book on Star Wars coming out next year.
