Yeah..that...you know...was kind of my point.
Let me rephrase in more words...
Since Jacen is EU, and George is having fun (and I speculated as some sort of passive agressive spite in paratheticals, just like I'm doing now deja vu?) destroying/overwriting some EU stories, why not take it to one of the biggest money makers from "recent" times? It would seem more "lulz" worthy for GL if he did that.
How could he do that? There's lots and lots of ways he could.
No. Money is always a prime motive, for anyone. DO you go to work because you really enjoy it? No you get paid. Even if you do enjoy it, if they stopped paying you, I bet you'd quit lol.
Lucas would just give Han and Leia a child name Jacen, claim he made the whole thing up, and make his story drastically different from eh one that currently exists.
If I had millions and millions of dollars I wouldn't go to work for money. Why would I? I'd have more then enough to spend in a lifetime. Heck no.... I'd just go making movies and documentaries I'd like to make. Spend my money on that. But I think I would try to gather some no-men around me instead of yes-men. My experience is that reliable no-men (i.e. people who are good and confident about what they can contribute to a project instead of insecure people who just want to make their own mark) make your shows better.

His residual income, alone, from his licensing and merchandising makes him, literally, tens of millions of dollars a year. He is definitely not motivated to make money, at this point. Queeq's assessment is spot on: GL is just doing what he wants to do at this point. I suggested that he's spiting the EU materials just for fun. (What else should he do at this point other than troll his own fiction and have fun writing new fiction? I think that most of us here would do the same. Think of how much lulz he gets when he writes or approves certain items that will obviously over-write some existing EU stuff.)

I don't think money is his prime motive frankly... He just wants to do what he wants to do...
I'm not saying the he's doing it for money. I was saying that he could target one of the biggest money makers (meaning, one of the things that is most widely known from the EU), just for getting lulz from trolling the EU fans and writers. People troll in real life.

I doubt that he would need to bother about that. Would you? I wouldn't.However, when creating such an iconic saga there are some responsibilities to the fans I think.
After living the life and making my movies, what else would there be to do other than have a laugh and enjoy my family?
That's definitely not his primary goal, for sure, but I'm sure he gets lulz from it.
And, if were GL, I'd make my veto for some of the stuff with a nutsack stamp on the document. 😆
"DENIED!" *inks balls and teabags documents* 😆 😆 😆
What's sad is my career path is leading towards a CIO position. IMMA IRL!
Alright, I'm done.
Anyway, I do not think Ahsoka is going to be killed off. Probably some weird convoluted re-assignment or placement on her own Dagobah.
