Not sure why you keep saying this. Everything I've seen still has that book slated for October release, as it has been for months.

Based on this interview with Rinzler it sounds like there is a bit of a white wash occurring as far as GL's relationship with TFA.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (Pre-release)
I figure that's why it's an October release, rather than the initial April announced release. Even when I originally pre-ordered it back in December, it was already an October release in the store's system. I have no doubt he was asked to re-word the bits dealing with Lucas' realtionship to the film and the new direction his former company were taking. Not omitting, but finding more... diplomatic... phrasing. I have faith in Rinzler to tell it like it is/was without being nasty about it.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (Pre-release)
i agree and can't wait for this book but the tone of that interview sounds somewhat negative and Rinzler seems a bit put off by how this is going down. Maybe it's just me but that's how it seems.

Pablo said they cannot go into how much 7 thru 9 was Lucas until the the films are done. He said read the Art of book and the tells a bit. I am thinking things were kept that Lucas put in, but they can't tell us without spoiling it.

Re: Star Wars: Episode VIII (Pre-release)
I really want to know whether Lucas' idea was any better than what we got. It might not be, but I still want to know how he intended to continue the story.
I will say I'm hoping they get the ball rolling (as far as a story) with this movie. Daisy looked really good when they showed her practicing.

Pablo Hidalgo of Lucasfilm storygroup says we won't be told what Lucas contributions/ideas were used and whatnot until this trilogy over, he was asked and I am betting they are using stuff Lucas incorporated but can't tell us now because it spoils upcoming things.

Although this may be more Ep.VII thread material but Snokes mystery past is clearly still in play there is a lot of Snoke backstory apparently in the new book "Life Debt". Lot's of spoilers in the link but it may put to rest the Snoke is Plageuis rumors..

Another spoiler-filled review of Aftermath: Life Debt. Which reiterates, which the other article really fails to...
In all honesty, I hope this is wrong. They can do better than this.

Obviously, they appear to be hinting in the book that Fleet Admiral Gallius Rax is Snoke - but, it could be subterfuge or some other trickery. The next book might tell the tale of another that might possibly be Snoke, too.

Also interesting that Jakku has some secret importance. I like me this entire direction, it's new and interesting as opposed to pulling from previous material. It's what I have come to expect from this story group. I just don't think his backstory is really that important to the films.

Not sure if this provides anymore or less validity but a pre-TFA leak that proved to have correct info also had a similar backstory for Snoke.

...sounds more like they're trying to justify making Jakku the new Tatooine in TFA. Maybe it's part of bigger plan conceived from the start, but, this reeks of retcon type material that just feels more like they're making it up as they go. I'd rather they lose the hokey-religion aspect of all this and work harder on filling in the voids after RotJ. They're suggesting Rey was left on a planet heavy on the dark side... which seems to be a stretch for various reasons.
