lucas doesnt want more money. he said in an interview when he first released the LA show to bridge ep3 and 4 that he's goin to do what he wants and if it fails it fails and that since he;s had so much success he deserves to fail.
pretty much he was saying he doesnt need money anymore him and his kids probably grand kids are set for life financially everything he's doin now is for fun and he approves the novels to help keep star wars alive
My favorite is the newest....Jacen Solo / Darth Caedus. Mainly because his reasons for becoming Sith are quasi-believable. The rest are just power hungry or flat-out evil.
