Goodwin was also the writer of Marvel's official <i>Star Wars</i> comic, which may have led to an awkward moment in his dealings with Lucasfilm while that lawsuit was going on.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-29892974661840082832013-07-06T15:25:48.262+01:002013-07-06T15:25:48.262+01:00It is nice, and the clockwork motor has held up we...It is nice, and the clockwork motor has held up well.
