Awards įoster won the 2008 Grand Master award from the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers.

In 2020, Foster, together with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), alleged that The Walt Disney Company, which acquired rights to his Star Wars and Alien novels via their acquisitions of Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox, had not paid him royalties for e-book sales of his books. He later wrote the novelization of the 2009 film Star Trek, his first Star Trek novel in over 30 years, and for Star Trek 's sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness.

It would be akin to a contractor demanding to have his name on a Frank Lloyd Wright house." įoster also wrote the follow-up novel Splinter of the Mind's Eye (1978), written with the intention of being adapted as a low-budget sequel to Star Wars if the film was unsuccessful. Not having my name on the cover didn't bother me in the least.
When asked if it was difficult for him to see Lucas get all the credit for Star Wars, Foster said, "Not at all.
