Humph. I think Zahn himself messed Mara up somewhat in VotF by using her as his 'what is wrong with the EU' mouthpiece. As for the ship, well. If we had seen her cry over a person, as well, it might not have annoyed all the Mara-haters so much. And Luke doesn't say it was her security, he says it was her freedom. I agree that you can have that interpretation, but it's not the most obvious. Forgive me for being stubbornly literal. :)
