( Everything under the cut... )
But you have to remember that the internal dialogue of the characters is based on the author's conclusions of what the script means, so that can alter the characterization in some ways. Still, Alan Dean Foster is a pretty good writer, so I ponied up for the book. My verdict: Not bad, though it suffers for the dialogue changes.
I thought I'd offer a bit of a comparison for those who plan to fanfic, though. I subscribe to the "It's only canon if it's on screen" school of thought, but I tend to include the cut stuff I like. I like to have my cake and eat it, too.

The men's tournament started on Thursday, and the women's tournament starts tomorrow. ESPN is covering the women, so we'll get to see a lot more of the games than we used to, with the whip around coverage and the multiple channels. The women's basketball isn't taking any of the men's off of the air (they're on CBS), but that doesn't stop commenters on just about every online article from writing that NO ONE CARES ABOUT WOMEN'S BASKETBALL and YOU SHOULD SHUT UP ABOUT WOMEN'S BASKETBALL and WOMEN'S BASKETBALL SUCKS and THEY'RE ALL LESBIANS and other erudite, enlightening and informed opinions. I'm used to that. Some men think women shouldn't play basketball, especially women whom they secretly know could kick their asses at it. There are Neanderthals in every walk of life. Ignoring them now.
And then I clicked over to Deadspin, which I find entertaining sometimes, if only for the way they poke at ESPN. They have a segment every Friday or so called "Waxing Off", which is their clever title for the female-writer ghetto they've corralled and squashed into a once-a-week post. The women who write for it seem quite knowledgeable about various sports, and are sometimes very funny. But today they wrote their article about the women's ncaa's, and I didn't think it was funny at all.
Women's basketball, and why some actual women don't seem to like it. Oh, goody. Let's talk about what the women look like, what the uniforms look like, what the cheerleaders are like, and whether or not any of them are sexy. Let's discuss Candace Parker's breasts! Let's ponder whether or not it would be less boring if the outfits were more revealing! Let's discuss how women can't be good athletes because they're not competing against men!
SERIOUSLY?!?!? You don't have to do the Neanderthals' work for them, ladies! It's like they're hating on the women so they can be "one of the boys." STFU!
So I'll root for the Aggie women and I'll root for the Aggie men, and I'll know that both teams are full of kickass athletes who can play a helluva game of basketball. And I'll acknowledge that things are a lot more equitable than they used to be.
And I shall remain pissed off.
