Your insight is extremely eye-opening and helpful, thank you for writing such extensive posts. I'm looking forward to everything that's to come in 2024!
Hope the holiday season treats you well too Tom. I'm happy to say I've read both of the posts you recommended! Thanks for the insight on this one. I have a few questions when it comes to Lucasfilm publishing after attending Cavan Scott's chat with Michael Siglain. Do you and Michael primary work together as publisher and licensor? Cause I hear how he pitched THR to Kathleen Kennedy, did he then come to you and Del Rey and you sandboxed stories and authors? Or was THR a special case as the authors went off to have their planning session? Do other Star Wars books primarily work in that way though, Del Rey and Lucasfilm Publishing going back and forth, varying with the degree each party has control over a book. Like the FACPOVs were more under your control, right? Sorry if this is a lot I'm just generally very curious about the whole process, especially of idea generation for the universe I love...
