Chat corner 172: Movie novelizations

[annathecrow]

Welcome to the Monday chat corner!

This week it's time for non-movie, canon media, and I'm going to dip into the archive and bring up a topic from around this time a few years ago: "movie novelizations".

As far as I know, every SW movie got a book written from it - some even multiple, if we count comic adaptations and books for younger readers. Have you ever read any? What do you think about novelizations as a concept - do you enjoy them, find them a valuable source of canon, or would you rather they didn't exist at all?

And how much canon do you actually consider them? I'm not quite sure how much does Disney consider them canon (but admittedly I didn't search too hard).
