This LA Times article/interview with Star Wars/Empire Strikes Back Producer Gary Kurtz highlights some interesting stuff about what could have been.
Choice excerpt:
“The original idea was that they would recover [the kidnapped] Han Solo in the early part of the story and that he would then die in the middle part of the film in a raid on an Imperial base. George then decided he didn’t want any of the principals killed. By that time there were really big toy sales and that was a reason.”
