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.

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.
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.
