    ...but there was no mention of Lucas laughing maniacally as lightning crashed behind him. It would havce seemed appropriate.

    You are kidding me right? Zahn's first three novels were probably better than most of george's scripts. George just cant do dialog. Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and The Last Command aka the Thrawn trilogy is some of the best non cannon Star Wars works period.
