In Part 4 of our conversation with Chris Claremont turned to his work with George Lucas. Claremont wrote the sequel trilogy to Willow starting with Shadow Moon and we talked about the process he approached it with and how involved Lucas. There’s also been talk around the Internet (reliable, I know) about a sequel to Willow and we spoke of that.
He spoke about the reaction to Shadow Moon and the situation of events that lead Lucasfilm to change its mind between concept and execution of the property. He also talked about what his goals for the books were and how he got the gig.
Be sure to check out Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 and watch out for more parts soon!
