I just read through my copy of the Episode III: Revenge of the Sith novelization by Matthew Stover. I read it in 2005 and heavily annotated it. There's some great stuff in there! I've been pondering translating it to the web for years but I don't really have any idea how I could do that.
Does anyone have any interest in seeing this (or ideas on how to do it)?

Interesting fact: my dad is high school friends with Matt Stover. I started reading Traitor once, then I kind of had to do school stuff.

I don't think it's worth moving to the web. You'd be putting raw comments that aren't organized into a coherent whole. You might be better forming them into essays or commentaries. Individual comments lack a context. Glossing is for drafting documents. (Or for those silly bubbles on music videos.)
Bouzereau in his Annotated Screenplay wrote his annotations in paragraph form and it presented a consistent perspective of someone who really knew his primary sources.
I'd love to know what you thought on certain contributions he made, but personally I don't want to get into all the effort. I've been reading a lot of SW with a perspective of critiquing the lightsaber fighting (trends, cliches, influences, etc) but the writing and the stories got tiresome. Luckily, I found a Russian website which has scanned the majority of SW books into text format.
Stover has an in-your-face style of writing. He also likes to debate. Ergo, he was the editor for Star Wars on Trial.

Really? Could you post the link? I'd like to do some reading.
