...similar to how broken X Box games are knowingly sold with the intention of patching it later with an internet download. Someone should inform Disney that this won't work for Star Wars since only suckers will ever read those books because SW is live action movies and tv only.

The books just give extra info not necessary to understand the films. This has been happening forever. It's no different now.

TROS was amateurish, sloppy, rushed and barely comprehensible. The novelization does nothing to change that. It's a novelization that does nothing more or less than previous Star Wars novelizations have done for their films.... EDIT: Maybe less, and the prequel novelizations had a lot more extra info compared to the Disney films books.

It's not just SW that do this lots of film novelisations add new things to the story, because they have you know double to triple the amount of "time" to fill up, a movie is usually 1 minute per page or something like that, so TROS is like 150 pages maybe? a novel is going to be double that, so they fill in shit with added detail which may or may not be cannon, read the Halloween novelisation, they go into detail of how Michael feels and why he kills, something they intentionally leave alone in the movie.
Now if it is intended to be a "patch" it's dumb because I think on average less than a couple hundred thousand people read any of the novels, up to possible 100 million people watched TROS, even if you said 250,000 people read the book that's 1/400 people who saw the movie or 0.25% of the audience it's just dumb, so yeah doubt they are trying to "patch" things at all, it's a ludicrous idea, that's more for the other shows or movies to do where they atleast have a penetration level of several million people minimum ala Clone Wars.
