I'm not saying that Disney doesn't owe him, I'm simply saying that in the case of a work for hire, it's not obvious that they do and I find it very strange that over the course of 8 years, he hasn't initiated legal action.

None of us are lawyers...and even if we were, we don't have access to the contracts.
However, it APPEARS that he was receiving ongoing payments from Lucas for the books he wrote. Work product or not, the agreement must not have been "here's x dollars, write a book and go away".
Disney bought Lucas...and stopped paying the author....but still sell the books he wrote.
Something smells.
