gets rid of the aspect of having to share publishing rights with many of the old authors(as even though Lucasarts owns and Disney also owns SW, books published in the prior era still have profits split among both the old publisher companies and authors.
I didn't know the old author still gets fees from the books.
Yeah this article is extremely biased so I wouldn't trust it. It literally says long live legends at the bottom of it.
Ok then everything comming from a fan of Legends is wrong ? I'm glad you expressed that, I know to what kind of person I am answering. Then this article is maybe biased, I wrote it. But everything is true.
What probably happened is that the license expired, and either A they are going to go to a different publisher or B they weren't selling well enough to justify a renewed license.
No. Absolutely not. Pocket want to have the licence. Legends sold well in France. The new reprints particulary as they were rare and probably because the new movies disapointed people.
Keep in mind that Disney doesn't own Star Wars per say, and its Lucasflim who still maintains control of the copyright. So it would be their decision to renew, not Disney.
Pocket and Delcourt discuss this matter directly with Disney which is the right holder and it's Disney, not Lucasfilm, who told them what the can and what they can't print. It's no conspiration it's a reality in France.
And if they were really going to cease the printing of legends material there would be some sort of announcement or whatever. So in conclusion the article is just playing up the issue rather than actually telling us what's happening.
We got that announcement in France, what I can tell you more except beware for your market ? If it's just playing for you, ask and I will answer. I tought I made this clear but look like you don't (want to ?) understand.
I expected people may say they didn't care, but telling that it's lies is very and even more harmful.
