I like how SW novels have been reduced (or perhaps risen?) to a competition of which writer can manage the more shocking death of a main character. Starting to sound like comic books. Next thing you know Luke will reveal his secret identity on national TV, while Mon Monthma and Ackbar argue as to whether or not they should be required to register with the government on account of their superhuman powers ending with Ackbar's assassination and... eerrr, oh never mind.
