Foster also ghost-wrote the novelization of the original
Star Wars movie under George Lucas's name, which was why he was picked to do
Splinter. (This is part of why some people falsely believe he ghost-wrote Roddenberry's
Star Trek: The Motion Picture novelization -- they get the two confused. Foster was also mis-credited as the ST:TMP novelization's author on a French translation. But the writing style is profoundly unlike Foster's.)
