Whoa. I didn't know anyone had balls like this!
EDIT: I didn't realize there was another wank about this topic until after I'd hit the submit button and this went into the fandom_wank queue. By then I couldn't delete it because it was in the approval queue. Sorry everyone!

Someone decided she didn't like how George Lucas wrote the first Star Wars movie, so she decided to rewrite "Star Wars: A New Hope" (and according to the reviews, did so very poorly) and decided to sell it on Amazon!
The reviews are quite the panoply... ranging from "OMG PLAGIARIZM!!1!" to "HAY WTF?! COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!" to "Not only is this illegal, it's SHITTY!" I'm even more amused by the lack of grammar and spelling of the reviewers than I am at the thought of this bitch Lori Jareo getting her ass handed to her by Lucas's attorneys (hey, maybe she's got herself one of them intarweb lawyers!)
I want to know why Amazon is allowing this in the first place! I mean, one bloody glance at the entry page on Amazon was all I needed to know exactly what this is -- without even reading a single actual paragraph of the "book"!
This isn't just plagiarism -- it's bloody copyright infringement on arguably the largest fiction franchise out there! (Star Wars ranks right up there with Lord of the Rings, but I don't know if it's bigger than LOTR, just cuz LOTR has some twenty or thirty years on Star Wars).
Well, methinks George Lucas is gonna hafta SMACK A BITCH soon. Holy shit.... exploding splooge!
*sits back to watch the wank unfold*
