"Labyrinth" was pretty good, I enjoyed it, and think it's worth seeing more than once, altho I wouldn't call it a "great" movie. OTOH I thought "Willow" was pretty much a waste of time and celluloid. It's like Lucas only had one story to tell, so he re-told "Star Wars" in a fantasy setting. Well dang, George, "Star Wars" already *is* a fantasy, you just put it in a SF setting! Look: An orphaned farm boy is given a magical sword, which belonged to his dead father, by a kindly wizard. The boy goes off to rescue a beautiful princess who has been captured by an evil wizard, and his being held prisoner in an impregnable fortress. Now if that's not a fairy tale, then I don't know what is!

Yet across the gulf of space... intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

There's alot that isn't in the film.
	The past tempts us, the present confuses us, and the future frightens us. And our lives slip away, lost in that vast terrible inbetween. But there is still time to seize that one last fragile moment. To choose something better, to make a difference. And I intend to do just that. I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone

Was that an original book that Lucas adapted? Or are you talking about a novelization of the movie?
