I devoured Alan Dean Fosters version of The Last Starfighter last
weekend.  This is his adaption from the screen play (like he did
for Alien) so I expect that the movie will probably hold pretty
close to the book.  I can't wait for the movie!  I sounds like the
video arcade addict's (myself included) dream come true.  There
should be lots of opportunities for the Cray computer's special
effects.  It sounds like there also should be interesting humor,
the hero mentions something about "THE FORCE" right before battle
and his copilots response is very good!  I don't want this to be a
spoiler so I'll stop now, but again, I can't wait for the movie!!
