WotC must propose every book to Lucasfilm Licensing, who look not only at content and continuity, but also at projected sales.  If they license WotC to publish, say 6 books per year, they're going to want those books to be profit-makers.As for adventure support being neccessary for a rpg to survive and thrive, that is simply incorrect.  Most RPG publishers publish few or no adventures, and thrive just fine.  In fact, it is sourcebook support that is truly neccessary for a rpg to thrive.  D&D is an anomaly.  It's only because D&D has such a large consumer base that adventures are economical to publish for it.Please note that I'm not begrudging you your complaint, I'm just pointing out why the situation is as it currently is.</blockquote>
