Just to be clear: the authors are not asking for payment on some vague theory of having inspired current work. They want their contract royalties for the books that they wrote that Disney is still printing, but not paying them a dime on.https://twitter.com/Hugo_Book_Club/status/1329827421470613504 …

One of the Alan Dean Foster books cited was Splinter in the Mind's Eye, in which Luke Skywalker has a romantic adventure with Leia and then kills Darth Vader before kissing her happily ever after. Not exactly canon, but apparently Disney is still printing it????

Splinter was a big step in the Star Wars novels. Thrown out canonically but set the stage for the flood of literature that came after.

It wasn’t thrown out, but later reprints were revised to tone down the Luke/Leia angle.

If it’s from before 1993 or so, it’s probably unedited.

Yeah, I pride myself for my old/original print book collection, so I definitely read a version with the incest still in.
