Perhaps I'm missing your point. I can understand maximizing return on taxable income, and to a lesser extent, understand that if they make X money they have to pay certain other people Z instead of Y. But I really doubt they're going to produce "Buehler445 shits in the field and buries it" for $100M just because they need a loser. |

I understand that. That's why I think we're talking about different things.

One, is so that they're taxable income is significantly lower. Two, is to avoid paying escalators to the talent, e.g., the director and movie stars get "x" percentage if the film earns "x" amount after net income. Quote:
On the music side, we signed songwriters and bands that either sold zero records because their album was never released (even after spending $1 million or more in recording and publishing) or bands and artists that couldn't find an audience. It was up to the discretion of the CFO as to how to write those off (this year, spread out over several years, etc.) but it did happen and was expected. |

Is that book legit?
Is it a new EU series or is it a tie-in leading up to the new movie?

That makes good sense. Tax planning is sound business strategy as long as the auditors are happy. Quote:

Are you saying they've determined what old L/H/L are going to be like and passed that on to writers?

Apparently it's kind of boring. About L/H/L's final adventure or something. They help Lando fight some kind of corporate war.

Why would one want to visit Hoth, much less occupy it?
