Though Veitch was contracted and approved to write Lightsider, when the Star Wars license switched from Bantam Spectra to Del Rey a "whole lot of weirdness" went down and so the novel was never published. Veitch now plans to release the story, as the license for it now belongs to him, but not under the Star Wars label.

  • Though Veitch was contracted and approved to write Lightsider, when the Star Wars license switched from Bantam Spectra to Del Rey a "whole lot of weirdness" went down and so the novel was never published. Veitch now plans to release the story, as the license for it now belongs to him, but not under the Star Wars label. The novel was not only well-received by LucasFilms, but also read and approved by George Lucas. However, when Lucas found out that he had approved the book without a contract, he terminated the project. This prompted Cam Kennedy to resign, and the proposed third Dark Empire series was cancelled—although Veitch was allowed to condense its plot into the two-issue Empire's End series illustrated by Jim Baikie.
