Wow! I expected a typical 1970s hack job, but this novelization really adds to the experience of this film. Ben Bova's vision is ultra-violent where George Lucas' savagery is implied...but it's compelling because it's believable. We understand the nature of the hologram (I thought that they were humans that thought of themselves as computer images). We understand a little more about the sad fate of LUH, and what was eventually planned for THX. And the rapes...ugh.Special note for SF Bay Area residents - check out the BART cameo towards the end!
