Is there a way to get a star war book published?

[Stoner710]

I’m almost done with the Darth Bane trilogy I already know Darth Zannah wins in the end, there is a graphic novel published but it’s not on audible. So I want to write the next trilogy based on the rise and fall of. Darth Zannah and her taking on her appearance Darth Cognus. I’m a huge Star Wars fan so I want my book to become cannon fallowing the life and death of Darth Zannah beyond writing the story I want the publisher to except it as cannon any suggestions?

You need to ask Disney.

Publishing in general shouldn't be the Problem, however Disney will sue your ass for all eternity for copyright violations, if done without asking them first.

[Stoner710]

Are you sure it’s not George Lucas I thought he had the rights to the books and Disney has the rights to the movies

[Astarlessnightsky]

I don't know exactly if there is a difference.

Even double checking with google, only gives the Info:

George Lucas sold Lucas Films and the rights to Star Wars to Disney in 2012.

[Stoner710]

So definitely the audiobook would have to go through Disney. I wonder how the other author who wrote Star Wars novels gained the rights

[slatyb]

No, it's not. You don't have any right to use those characters. If you publish it online and it attracts any attention the rights holder will send you an order to take it down.

[Stoner710]

What if I didn’t monetize it and put it out there for everyone to read?

[slatyb]

"You don't have any right to use those characters."

[Stoner710]

I don’t want right to the characters I just want it to be written how did Drew Karpyshyn write the Darth Bane trilogy then? I could careless about the money I just want the story

[FreyaRed]

You have to deal with Disney and they will rip you off.

[Stoner710]

Fair enough I just want the next chapter in the story I don’t really care about the money

[mike5150]

Copyright laws would prevent that. I believe George Lucas sold his rights to Disney a few years back.

[Stoner710]

Make sense I’m wondering how Drew Karpyshyn author of the Darth bane trilogy got the rights I can care less about the money. I just want the story.

[Sevenpointfive]

yes. write it and get an agent. the cartoon versions were megahits, but as long as the story is solid you'll do fine

[Adam1978]

Without Disney's approval you can't get either. So you have to sell your book idea to them.

First step: get a lawyer!
