……艾伦·迪恩·福斯特（Alan Dean Foster）——我相信他在电影制作期间实际上一直在给卢卡斯当顾问，并且对我们在大银幕上看到的内容产生了一定影响。福斯特写了一部名为《心灵之眼的碎片》（Splinter of the Mind's Eye）的《星球大战》续集，最初原本打算用作第二部电影的剧本。话虽如此，我敢打相当大的赌，迪士尼会直接无视“衍生宇宙”（Expanded Universe）那些东西，直接按自己的想法来……
…Alan Dean Foster -- who I believe was actually consulting with Lucas while the movie was in production, and had some influence on what we actually saw on screen. Foster wrote a sequel to Star Wars called Splinter of the Mind's Eye which was originally intended to be the story used for the second movie. Having said all that, I would put fairly high odds on Disney ignoring the "Expanded Universe" stuff and actually going with whatever…
卢卡斯脑子里绝对想过拍续集，但当时这部电影能不能成功还是个大大的未知数。1978 年艾伦·迪恩·福斯特出过一本官方续集小说《心灵之眼的碎片》（Splinter of the Mind's Eye），它明确设计成如果第一部票房不好的话，可以用极低的预算拍成电影。书里确实有卢克用光剑与维达决斗的情节。
Lucas definitely had sequels in mind, but it was very much in doubt whether the movie would succeed. There was an official sequel novel by Alan Dean Foster called Splinter of the Mind's Eye released in '78, which was explicitly designed to be filmable on a very low budget if the original didn't do too well. That does feature Luke duelling Vader with his saber.
同样有意思的是，艾伦·迪恩·福斯特写的《心灵之眼的碎片》（Splinter of the Mind's Eye），其实是作为《帝国反击战》的备选方案。如果《星球大战》票房扑街，卢卡斯就会把《心灵之眼的碎片》改编成一部低成本的星战续集。
Also interesting to note that Alan Dean Foster wrote Splinter of the Mind's Eye, which was written as a sort of backup plan for The Empire Strikes Back. If Star Wars flopped at the box office, Lucas would adapt Splinter into a low-budget sequel to Star Wars.
I'm guessing around 10 years old (but perhaps even earlier) when I decided to design and build a briefcase containing various hidden compartments. I also remember, before that, reading Splinter of the Mind's Eye and being impressed that Luke could recharge his lightsaber from Han's blaster and spent a long time working on designs for universal plugs and sockets that would allow arbitrary recharging between devices.…
……有一大群人喜欢这个作品里的 EU（衍生宇宙），但不喜欢那个作品里的。而且不可忽视的是，卢卡斯影业在拍前传时直接把 EU 踹下了车，甚至在那之前类似《心灵之眼的碎片》这类作品就已经遭遇过这种待遇了。难受的是，当你投入了大量时间和精力去热爱一件事物，结果所有者跑过来把你伤得透透的。祝愿大家能重新找回这份爱。
…large group of people who like EU from this thing, but not from that thing. And it can't be ignored that Lucasfilm threw the EU under the bus with the Prequels, and even before that with things like Splinter of the Mind's Eye. The thing that's hard is when you've invested a lot of time and energy into something, and then the owner comes along and breaks your heart. Here's to finding love again.
……比如第七部，作为情怀客串的载体还行，但导致《侠盗中队》的故事线被彻底抛弃，而它本应一直属于正史的。不过这也不是第一次发生了。还有人记得《心灵之眼的碎片》（Splinter of the Mind's Eye）吗，那部最早的《星球大战》续集？
…like 7 which was ok as a nostalgic cameo vehicle, but resulted in throwing away the Rogue Squadron arc which should have always remained canon. But not like that hadn't happened before. Anyone remember Splinter of the Mind's Eye, the original sequel to Star Wars?

我猜大概是我 10 岁左右（甚至可能更早），我决定设计并制作一个带各种暗格的手提箱。我还记得在那之前读过《心灵之眼的碎片》，当时对卢克能用汉的爆能枪给光剑充电感到惊叹不已，于是花了很长时间设计能让设备之间随意充电的通用插头和插座……
