I found it again (at a used book store) and was so happy I almost peed myself. Foster is a good writer, but I think that because he was forced to make stuff up (other than relying on Lucas), it feels out of place. these days Lucas has to sign off on EVERYTHING.
Foster wrote lots of movie-to-novel stories....including The Last Starfighter and
Krull.
his picture on Wiki makes him look like he's gone Taliban.
