If you want to take a closer look at it, the 6 films use the same letters for the first word of the titles.
The Phantom Menace - The Empire Strikes Back
Attack of the Clones - A New Hope
Revenge of the Sith - Return of the Jedi

I didn't say it was EU created now, did I?
Originally posted by UshgarakReally? Because I've searched all over my copy of the book and can find no mention of 'Alan Dean Foster' anywhere... 😬 It does strike me as peculiar that GL could write an entire novel though, when he admits himself he can't write dialogue for shit... And it doesn't actually say anywhere "Written by" George Lucas, it just has his name in all the places you'd expect to find the author's...
Meanwhile, worth reminding people that GL did NOT write that novel; it was Alan Dean Foster.
Trust me, it was ADF. That's no secret; it is quite well known. He ghost-wrote it for GL. You will still see ADF referred to at sw.com as the first ever SW author; there are interviews all over the net about it, and so forth.
sw.com hyped up his last SW book launch thusly:
"Alan Dean Foster, the first author of the Star Wars publishing universe, returns to pen a new novel set between the events of Episodes I and II. Ballantine Books is set to publish the as yet untitled hardcover book in February 2002.
In 1976 Foster ghostwrote the original novelization of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope from George Lucas' screenplay. The then-titled Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker sold millions of copies through numerous printings. Foster followed up the novelization with the first authorized Star Wars sequel tale, Splinter of the Mind's Eye, in 1978. "
