Did you have 29 January marked in your calendars, Star Wars-fans? I certainly hope so, because it’s an important day. Today is the day that Jedi-godfather and modification-enthusiast George Lucas finished the second draft of a little script called Adventures of the Starkiller, Episode I: The Star Wars — a film that would alter become Episode IV: A New Hope.

Lucas put the finishing touches on his Starkiller script on this day, 38 years ago.

The script bore a striking resemblance to what would later become A New Hope, only with a few details different here and there.

If you read the synopsis of the Starkiller script, you might actually enjoy the added level of detail.
