Prior to Episode VII's premiere, George Lucas made headlines by saying Disney discarded his story ideas after the Mouse House acquired Lucasfilm, but few details about Lucas' treatments have come out in the months since. Should the book ever come out, it'll be fascinating to see what is said. An obvious reason for Lucasfilm holding The Making of The Force Awakens back is that Rinzler's interview subjects revealed some information the studio doesn't want shared publicly - either about upcoming films or personal tidbits about the actors and/or filmmakers. Because of this, there was tremendous interest in Rinzler's chronicles of the Episode VII production, particularly since the supplemental content on the Blu-ray didn't offer much (the hour long documentary doesn't even mention Harrison Ford's leg injury). Those who have read the writer's books on Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi know that they are very comprehensive and weren't just fluff PR pieces. … It’s a compelling book, and you’d have to ask them why it’s been delayed." So it might just be Amazon… Again, I don’t work there anymore, so I’m not privy to information, but I think they would have let me know. Nobody has said that to me, and someone else has said it might be, and I checked with the publisher, and they said it’s news to them. I don’t know what form the book is going to come out, and frankly, I don’t know if it’s coming out in October. They really didn’t release a lot of information. While on the GeekDad podcast, Rinzler had this to say, stating that he's unsure why his latest text has been pushed back (or canned): You'll have to ask Lucasfilm/Disney/publisher why.- J. Film did some digging on the matter and came across a tweet from Rinzler's account, where he's asked about Amazon scrapping pre-orders for Yes, am asked this often, but book was canceled. However, it has yet to be made available, and if comments by Rinzler are anything to go by, the book's impending release has been cancelled altogether.
Rinzler (who wrote books on the making of each installment in the original trilogy) had actually penned an extensive The Making of Star Wars: The Force Awakens title, which was supposed to hit shelves in March 2016.
