Product Description
Climb aboard, buckle up, and prepare to jump to hyperspace for a dazzling adventure aboard the ship that launched a thousand fates.
Two years have passed since the death of the brutal Sith Lord Darth Caedus–once known as Jacen Solo. The galaxy is slowly healing from civil war, while Jacen’s family and friends are left to mourn his loss alone. For Han and Leia, still grieving for their son, the only bright spot is Jacen’s daughter, Allana, who has been given into their care. Now Allana introduces new adventure into her grandparents’ lives when she discovers a strange device hidden aboard the Millennium Falcon–a discovery that sparks a fact-finding expedition to retrace the people, places, and events in the checkered history of the famous spaceship. But the Solos are not alone in their quest: Crime lords, galactic pirates, rogue politicians, and fortune hunters alike will race to a final standoff for a prize some will risk everything to find–and pay any cost to possess.

"The Crook, The Wook, And Me",
By
This review is from: Star Wars: Millennium Falcon (Hardcover)
Millennium Falcon is not for all fans. It is the epilogue for Legacy of The Force I wanted. It also teasingly touches on many fanboy questions such as why Daala? Is Jaina going to marry Jagg? And what's up with the Jedi?? Unlike Dark Journey, Millennium Falcon doesn't dwell on the horror of the previous book. We are given some insights into Han and Leia's grief post LOTF but that isn't what this book is about or tries to be about. It doesn't divert your attention with more horror like The Dark Nest Trilogy. It basically feels like a kids book with a thickly sentimental mystery.I lost some of my enthusiasm around halfway mark I think. I found the flashbacks and flashforwards tedious as none lasted particularly long. Luceno balances several plots quite well but for a 300 page novel, much is crammed in and a lot is predictable. Either way I didn't' care as the joyous nature of the novel wins out.

Long live Star Wars (and with Aurora, they might)!,
By Chris (Ottawa, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars Millenium Falcon (Paperback)
Wouldn't history have been fun in school if it had been the history of the second most famous spaceship, the Millennium Falcon? This book would have been the textbook! I liked this novel with the "Days of Our Lives"-ish storyline concerning Jadak and the references to Han Solo and Lando Calrissian's previous trilogy adventures (a Lando review will be forthcoming). Also intriguing: the introduction (?) of Seff, who I suspect will be a big character in the "Fate of the Jedi" series.

Driven by a 7 year old, it's hardly more than a kids novel.,
By KevImp "kevimp" (Montreal, QC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Wars: Millennium Falcon (Hardcover)
As far as Star Wars novels go, this one was a disappointment. Overall it's just too simplistic. Nothing that is covered has any real relevance to furthering the story of our galaxy far, far away. The entire storyline is driven by the questions of a 7 year old girl, and because of that the whole novel suffers... it feel like a children's novel, except that it's over 300 pages long.The action is lacking, the "mystery" isn't engaging, and the denouement is about as flat as can be while accomplishing nothing of import. The only interesting parts (which are few, and far between) could have easily been written into other stories which actually advanced the expanded universe.
