...this week's cover stories on Return of the Jedi, the third installment of the Star Wars saga, San Francisco Correspondent Dick Thompson crossed the Golden Gate Bridge to San Rafael to explore the mysteries of the film's wondrous special effects in, of all places, a common cinder-block warehouse. There, and at a similar illusion factory in Van Nuys, Calif., Han Solo's Millennium Falcon spaceship first blasted into hyperspace, and E.T., C-3PO, R2-D2 and Jedi's furry Ewoks were born.

...many things, my boy. Don't tell shaggy Wookie stories, for one thing. Also, always be on the lookout for a hot book property. While you were off chasing Princess Leia, Rusty Miller, 12, a junior high school student in Satellite Beach, Fla., came up with The Jedi Master's Quizbook, a compilation of 425 intergalactic questions that will have Yoda himself scratching his noggin. After seeing Star Wars five times and The Empire Strikes Back six, young Master Rusty spent three months compiling his collection, which his mother typed up. George Lucas, 38, the father...
