This was my impression from the selections I read.

I haven’t read a Star Wars novel in years, and this sort of output is why.

Couldn’t they just torpedo the station?

I'd think that would be on the menu for a Sith Lord.

A lot of small continuity issues. At the start of the book, a particular room is established as scaled for humans to the point that a Lasat can't stand up straight in it. At the end, in a key scene, this Lasat jumps over humans to take a shot at the hostages they're protecting.

At the start of the book, a space station is established as being too dangerous to fire blasters in because it will reflect endlessly around the walls. There's a giant battle at the end and this never becomes an issue.

This is hasty writing and poor editing, and it does not reflect well on anyone involved.

To borrow a line from Honest Trailers...this is how creativity dies, to thunderous applause.

Except no one’s applauding.
