As many of you probably know, R.A. Salvatore is working on the novelization of Star Wars - Episode II. In an interview concerning the project, Salvatore said he had a couple of reasons for accepting the challenge.

First - He is a big Star Wars fan. So when George Lucas calls to make an offer for you to write a book in the series, that's very hard to turn down.

[b]Second{/b} (and more exciting) - Salvatore said that he hoped Lucas and Spielberg would be impressed enough with his Star Wars effort to examine some of his other writings....like the Icewind Dale trilogy!!!!

I am looking forward to the Lord of the Rings movie as much as anyone....but to see Drizzt and Artemis fight each other on the Silver Screen would be JUST as exciting (IMHO).
