Gee, I wonder if this SW book is actually "canon," since all of the rest of the EU has been made noncanon by Disney. 
 (Disney can bite me for making all of the EU noncanon instead of doing something, oh, I don't know, maybe 
 NEW 
 with the universe.) 
 Give it a few years and maybe they'll decide this one isn't canon either. 
 F' that.
