Next, those calling George Lucas names for all the money he's making out of this deal should probably stop now. Turns out Lucas will donate the majority of the proceeds to his philanthropic endeavours says . In the past he's donated to the likes of the Film Foundation, Stand Up To Cancer, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
That doesn't rule out elements from the books making an appearance (depending upon the script writer) but does mean those keen to see the Thrawn storyline realised on the big screen - you're out of luck.
