Except, you know, if they planned this in advance. Which is something that's very likely in a multi-media franchise.
Professional authors generally don't write stories on the fly like most fanfiction authors do. They'll have planned the basic framework of the story long before they start actually writing the story itself. Which means the story of Force is already planned out and the notes and sketches given to the crew far in advance. Case in point: the Tron game. A prequel to the movies that couldn't possibly have been released when it was if they started on it after the movie was finished (not even counting the fact that it was released 10 days before the movie premiered). Also, the inclusion of Thoma, Vivio and Einhart are clear evidence of this happening in this game as well.
And considering every single Force Next so far has been canon (Even Lily's is starting to appear in official media), calling them 'for show' is really making me wonder what on earth you base that on.
