But you will never see Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn credited to "Samuel Clements" in any bookstore, but always "Mark Twain". It might be something like that going on. Since it was originally attributed to George Lucas, it is stuck that way.

That's a little different situation. A pen name is the same person, a ghost writer is a different person. If I were to guess, I'd think it's a rights issue. Lucas owns it all so he most likely has say in how it's published.
