What about the origional books written by Geaorge Lucas were they Written as novels or as screenplays? If different, how much authority do they play by comparison to the screenplays? Are there any inconsistancies between the books and the films? Why does Leia remember her mother in ep6 if she died during childbirth but Luke does not? When in the ep3 Luke was born seconds BEFORE Leia.
