The novelization for #TheEmpireStrikesBack written by Donald F. Glut was published on this day in 1980

Based on the story by George Lucas and the screenplay by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, it's a little different and shorter

The author notes Boba Fett as having a black-marked silver helmet, which might stem from the evolution of the all-white "prototype" armor and how we ended up with the silver-armored Ben Cooper costume for kids, versus his look in his first film

Also, this book may be the first mention of "Slave I" in published writing, as it was previously written out on concept art as "Boba Fett's ship"
