philnicKlaatu barada nikto...
About 25 years ago, Ray Bradbury wrote a treatment for a sequel to The Day The Earth Stood Still. And
here is that treatment!
They don't write 'em like that any more.

Chapter 31I can’t express how wonderful it is to see this. Thank you, philnic!

Chapter 31I just noticed the date Ray wrote this treatment. Not September 10th or 12th but September 11, 1981.

greenrayKlaatu, Barada, and Nikto were all characters featured in the original Star Wars Trilogy.(They were even made into SW Action Figures by Hasbro!) Perhaps this was an honor paid by George Lucas to Science Fiction Classics from the past.
