Update, Operation Eastern Storm

As noted before, I am George Lucas.

This weekend, while editing World War 1990: Operation Eastern Storm, I had a vision. The problem with the book was that its too long, like Attack of the Clones or Revenge of the Sith.

For example, Revenge of the Sith should have ended with young Anakin going over the lava fall. Instead that light saber duel goes on for ever. Another example, and I'll be blasphemous. Lawrence of Arabia.At 3:42 its too damn long. LoA should have ended with Lawrence getting back to Cairo and meeting with Allenby. Instead we get an extra hour and a half of desert combat sequences and a truly bizarre scene in which Larry allows himself to be captured and nearly molested by Jose Ferar.

So I lopped 30,000 words off of Operation Eastern Storm, that puts it right around 60,000, which is the length of most of my novels. Those other 30,000 words? Well, they're the first half of World War 1990: Revolt of the Slavs.
