First, I would like to thank you for the incredible site that is Star Wars Origins. Your website not only contains an immense amount of information about the creative process of George Lucas’s Star Wars, but also provides wonderful information on mythology, science fiction, and the creative process as a whole. Obviously, you are a fan and student of science fiction and mythology/comparative religion, but I still can’t begin to imagine the time and energy that it must have taken for you to research and organize all of this information and material. So, from a serious fan of your website, thank you for all of your time and effort!
Secondly, I have a question about your method of personal copyright protection. You mention in your website that you deliberately “booby-trap” the site with incorrect facts to prevent copyright infringement. I do not have any problem with this method; however, I am curious about this practice.
I do not use your website for anything but personal enjoyment and knowledge, but I would still like to know that what I am reading is correct, to your knowledge. I am of course referring to specific facts cited, not your personal theories of the origins of SW; I understand that the ideas and conclusions that you express in your website are your own interpretations of the origins of SW based on the information that you have researched and concluded.
I plan on buying your book on the origins of SW as soon as it is available. In the meantime, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to pay you for a copy of the information on your website, without the “booby-traps”? Again, this would be for my personal interest in your information. I do not intend on incorporating your material for any work of my own, nor do I intend on sharing or distributing your material in any way. I simply would like this information to hold me over, so to speak, until the release of your book.
Finally, I have another question about some information that I cannot seem to locate on your SW website anymore. About a year ago, I remember reading some information that you cited about one theory surrounding the nature of the relationship between C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, specifically, the argument that some people have posed about a possible sexual relationship between the two. I cannot seem to find this information on your site anymore. I have read about this idea in a couple of other sources, although the consensus appears to be that this theory is untrue, and I am not sure if your site does/did mention this theory, or if I am simply confusing information from another site.
In conclusion, thank you for the extraordinary work that you have accomplished and provided on your website. I can’t wait to read the wealth of information that your expanded book will offer.
Sincerely,
Eurus
