Page "Tie-in" Paragraph 18

Movie tie-in books can be the beginning of a series of books that relate to a film or a series of films, such as Star Wars, though the content of the novels may have nothing to do with any existing film.

An example would be the novel Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, which is part of the Star Wars Expanded Universe ; the novel takes place after the film Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, of which a novelization was also published.

These tie-in books may or may not be considered canon.
