Donald F. Glut (/ɡluːt/; born February 19, 1944) is an American writer, motion picture film director, and screenwriter. He is best known for writing the novelization of the second Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back. Having been a classmate and friend of George Lucas at the University of Southern California, Lucas approached Glut to write the novelization of A New Hope, but Glut turned him down due to the low pay and the fact the Lucas' name would be on the cover. Glut then wrote the novelization of The Empire Strikes Back (1980). While working on the novel, he had somewhat of a negative experience due to the fact that knowledge of the film was segmented inside Lucasfilm. Glut has written approximately 65 published books, both novels, and nonfiction, plus numerous children's books based on franchises. Many of his nonfiction books have been about dinosaurs, including Dinosaur Dictionary and the Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia series of reference works. More information...
