The issue was resolved in May 2021, when Disney arranged to pay Foster and his fellow Star Wars novelization authors James Kahn and Donald F. In 2020, Foster, together with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), alleged that The Walt Disney Company, which acquired rights to his Star Wars and Alien novels via their acquisitions of Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox, had not paid him royalties for e-book sales of his books. He later wrote the novelization of the 2009 film Star Trek, his first Star Trek novel in over 30 years, and for Star Trek 's sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness. He has the story credit for Star Trek: The Motion Picture, as he wrote a treatment based in a two-page outline by Gene Roddenberry.
In the mid-seventies, he wrote original Star Trek stories for the Peter Pan-label Star Trek audio story records. Star Trek įoster wrote 10 books based on episodes of the animated Star Trek, the first six books each consisting of three linked novella-length episode adaptations, and the last four being expanded adaptations of single episodes that segued into original story. įoster returned to the franchise for the prequel-era novel The Approaching Storm (2002), and also wrote the novelization of the first sequel trilogy film, The Force Awakens (2015).
Foster's story relied heavily on abandoned concepts that appeared in Lucas's early treatments for the first film. However, Star Wars was a blockbusting success, and The Empire Strikes Back (1980) would be developed instead. It would be akin to a contractor demanding to have his name on a Frank Lloyd Wright house." įoster also wrote the follow-up novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye (1978), written with the intention of being adapted as a low-budget sequel to Star Wars if the film was unsuccessful. Not having my name on the cover didn't bother me in the least. When asked if it was difficult for him to see Lucas get all the credit for Star Wars, Foster said, "Not at all. 3.13.1.1 Star Trek: The Animated Seriesįoster was the ghostwriter of the original novelization of Star Wars, which was credited solely to George Lucas.In other words, it's good for the whole family and even crusty old SF hounds like me. I can't even tell that it's YA but it has all the hallmarks and it's always an easy and fun read. I suppose the best parts are where we get to spelunk, meet new alien races, foil eco-gene-terrorists, meet up with uberpowerful friends, and discover that things are going to hell in a handbasket right on the outer reaches.Īs an adventure, it's still top-notch. And he also has his first love in the form of his minidrag, so there's always that.īut still, these things do finally catch up with a boy. I mean, it's not all as bad as that, of course, and Flinx has had plenty of girls after him but he's never been in quite the right frame of mind since he was being chased by assassins, trying to save the universe, trying to discover who his father is. High-energy action and adventure in the form of a boy and his dragon meets his biggest nemesis yet.
