Do we accept novel blurbs and publisher summaries?

And you know this because of your immense, personal experience in publishing, clearly.

I know this, because they have already stated, numerous times, that the workings of what was formerly known as C-canon and G-canon are entirely different when it comes to media.

ROTS novel was low tier G-canon, until the Disney take-over, and went through George Lucas himself, the book itself was written based on the movie script Lucas himself wrote. The process of publishing that and publishing generic C-canon is obviously not the same process.

You've clearly never read how Traviss got Mara killed without any publishers knowing about it until the book was printed and shipped.

AP, why do you always have to wank someone?

It hasn't, at all, using quotes to say Vader is far more powerful than the Vader that lost all his power is irrelevant.

I'm talking about Disney de-canonizing all those quotes.

Stated by whom? Why does it matter what level of canon it is, lmao. Lucas reading the thing doesn't magically get it published differently. You're talking completely out of your ass here.

Obviously, it was clearly published entirely differently and not by Del Ray who have published nearly every SW book for 40 ****ing years. The process of using the same publisher as every other book would obviously be vastly different because Lucas read it, duh. OH SHIT ITS ALMOST AS IF AP IS TALKING COMPLETELY OUT OF HER ASS OF SOMETHING.

Gosh its almost as if publishers dont know shit or something.

Holy shit, did you just claim Del Rey publishes every Star Wars book? Concession accepted. 😂

Clearly the publishers of Death Troopers are reserved on for the upmost of G canon texts.

100% tu fax!!!

There are a good dozen other Star Wars publishers out there, and you claim I'm pulling stuff out of my ass when you clearly don't know a thing about Lucasfilm Publishing.

Well, because you are. There was nothing different about the publishing of the RotS novel that makes it special. So your claim that " the workings of what was formerly known as C-canon and G-canon are entirely different when it comes to media." is blatantly false. C-canon and G-canon the RotS novel which is still actually C-canon, were published in the exact same manner using the exact same publisher.

Of course, if you have evidence otherwise, post it.

We both know you don't though.

Except that movie media, just like with the recent TFA releases, all come under Lucasfilm Publishing umbrella and thus would recieve the same marketing and publishing policies as the rest of the movie's media. Common ****ing sense, Neph, do you have any?

You're taking the statement of an author who is completely irrelevant to the media in question and applying it to a completely different book series. All Drew said was that in his experience, the publisher summaries are handled by the marketing team. In HIS experience. What the **** kind of logic are you using where his sole experience applies to every book in the IP?

We all know the real reason you're argiing this Neph, don't worry, your Outlander will remain just as irrelevant as ever regardless of this quote.

So, you don't have any evidence to counter that of someone who has ACTUALLY published SW books?

Yeah, thats what I thought.

Do you have any evidence that the RotS novel recieved greater marketing and publishing policies over other novels? I mean, we all know you don't but I just want to see you fail to provide evidence for something you claim as fact once again.

Any evidence this quote was produced by anything greater than a marketing team? Not that there is any.....

Though I did not personally watch him do it, I received from LFL a Word document of Revenge of the Sith with Mr Lucas' edits, which was distinct from the edits I'd already gotten from Sue Rostoni and Howard Roffman and the rest of the LFL crew, and this document was edited in such a detailed fashion that even individual words had been struck off and his preferred replacements inserted, as well as some passages wholly excised and some dialogue replaced with the dialogue from the screenplay. If that's not line-editing, I don't know what is.

What's in that book is there because Mr. Lucas wanted it to be there. What's not in that book is not there because Mr. Lucas wanted it gone.

Period.

Sit down like the fool you are and let the Queen of you teens go about her regal work. Lucas himself is implied to have written the summary in the first place.

haermm

So you can't prove anything about the publishing??? Good to know.

Denial is a poor man's game, though thinking about it, I guess you're used to that.

What am I denying exactly? The thing that has no relevance to the discussion?

Also I'm 26, I'm not exeacly a teenager,, lool

If Lucas himself line-edited the entire book, then your entire 'publisher summaries are invalid' manure is irrelevant.

How?

Lucas doesn't make the publishers more canon. He didn't work with them. And ultimately he still chose t willingly contradict most of the book.

At what point does Lucas having control of every line in the book mean that publisher summaries are relevant in this case?

W-what?

It doesn't????

Glad you agree with me???? 😆

Neph has no chill rn, seriously.

At this point I'm getting the feeling that you two aren't even talking about the same thing, btw.
