Speaking as one who has done a few of these things and who is not intending to do another (but never say never...), I'd add this: if your tie-in novel takes off and sells incredibly well, the credit will likely not go to you, but to the source material -- as in: "Of course it sold well; after all it's Star Wars."
If your tie-in novel sells poorly, however, the blame will likely be laid at your feet -- "This should have sold much better; after all, it's Star Wars. Must be the writer."
