i think that the books are entertaining, and im glad they are there;
it's fun to have more star wars universe stuff to explore. at the same
time, i never take anything in a book as anything more that an author's
own personal creations; in other words, it's not "real" star wars, it's
just fun to think about the star wars world.  i agree though, the
writers have a real bad comic-book complex; everthing has to be
earth-shattering.
