I'm almost positive that, as part of the licensing agreement, the authors of the EU books basically signed their rights away for Lucas to do with as they pleased with limited compensation beyond their earnings from book sales. After all, EU exclusive characters, species, planets, and factions created by specific authors appeared in works by other authors without issue. The bigger issue Disney would've been to hunt and peck around the deluge of garbage to save the few good things, so they (in my opinion) rightly just flushed it all down and invited a select few creators to re-adapt their works while starting fresh. We all remember the parts that were great or even good, but there were loads of just utter garbage in there. And thank God they didn't try to do anything with the Yuuzhang Vong or however they were spelled. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
