This was a fun, well-written space opera novel. However, the whole thing with Luke, Han and Leia still duking it out with the Sith has become quite silly, especially when you consider that this book takes place over four decades after "A New Hope". I know the authors and Lucasfilm are probably afraid to kill off another film character after the intensely negative response to Chewbacca's death in the first "New Jedi Order" novels, but, now, I think it'd be better to kill off one of the three original heroes. It's a lot better than having them still fighting bad guys when they're elderly.
