This infamous early draft adaptation is an interesting glimpse into a parallel universe, but there's no way the screenplay was ever this relentlessly over-explained. It should really have Eric Stoltz on the cover.

Maybe best known today for featuring Threepio's infamous full-on robot chubby, this archive captures the original wave of fanaticism, before sequels and a franchise diminished the wonder and cemented terminology and spellings.

There are only so many times she can do the same My Little Pony activities (you'd think), but these fresh challenges were postponed until lack of discounted alternatives made purchase inevitable. I could see in the shop that most of the puzzles were too advanced for her age and abilities, but it took longer to notice that the stickers play no part there and aren't even adequately sticky for pimping potties and pencil cases.
