Query: Has the dilution of the Star Wars legacy begun?

This was an awful book by the alleged "Dean of the Star Wars Academy". KJA is the ringmaster of the new Star Wars novelization push, so we can only assume the worst if this is the kind of drivel that he himself puts out. This book was weak on a number of levels but the most egregious was the asinine plot it presented. Example: uhh, did he ever stop to think about how ludicrous the "Hutt super weapon" was? An orbiting laser gun that is capable of destroying planets?? Talk about ripping off old ideas. Also just how hard would it be to destroy this weapon before it could fire? Uh Kevin... next time, draw out the plot outline for your novel after the effects of last night's Tequila have worn off...
