This review is from: Star Wars: The Han Solo Adventures (Mass Market Paperback)

Long before Timothy Zahn wrote the the book that started the Star Wars book craze (HEIR TO THE EMPIRE), long before fans knew anything about the Star Wars Expanded Universe, before THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI, and just a few years after the release of STAR WARS, Brian Daley wrote a trilogy of books dealing with some of Han Solo's escapades several years before STAR WARS. The books were some of the first and at the time very few items items that people could buy to learn more about two of their favorite Star Wars characters: Han Solo and Chewbacca. These books: HAN SOLO AT STAR' END; HAN SOLO'S REVENGE; and HAN SOLO AND THE LOST LEGACY were eventually collected together and sold in one volume as THE HAN SOLO ADVENTURES. These stories take place a few years before STAR WARS and are rarely mentioned in the Star Wars canon. The bad guys aren't Stormtroopers from the Empire, but are soldiers of the Corporate Sector (the real reason behind this is because Lucas didn't have things figured out yet and didn't want anyone tinkering with the Stormtroopers from STAR WARS; you can't really blame him, I mean THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK hadn't even been made, yet). The Corporate Sector isn't mentioned very often in the new books, either. But it is on the maps and every once in awhile there are references to some of the things that take place in THE HAN SOLO ADVENTURES.

In HAN SOLO AT STAR'S END, Han and Chewie track down an infamous ship rebuilder for a reward and because they need some repairs. Their quest ends up leading them to the prison planet of the Authority known as Stars' End.

In HAN SOLO'S REVENGE, Han discovers that some special cargo he was supposed to transport turns out to be a group of slaves. Han hates slavery and anyone caught transporting slaves can receive an instant death sentence. Han forms a plan to foil the slavers and free the slaves. Once accomplished, he sets out to get revenge on the people who set him up.

Finally, in HAN SOLO AND THE LOST LEGACY, Han and Chewie set out to a legendary treasure planet. But there's a bounty on Han's head and once he and Chewie arrive, the Millennium Falcon is stolen and they find themselves being tracked and hunted by a group of assassins and killer droids. Never tell this man the odds.

THE HAN SOLO ADVENTURES aren't deep and don't add much characterization to what we know about Han Solo. Yet, like the dime novels of long ago, the books are fun to read and are full of action. They're worth owning for anyone interested in classic Star Wars history, anyone who likes Han Solo, and anyone who is tired of reading the usual Star Wars novels that are currently available.

Par	A.J.W. "wcu_rosebud" (robbinsville, nc United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This book fills in some of the background for Han Solo (along with The Han Solo Trilogy). I would recommend these books for a Han Solo fan. Otherwise they do not really have that big a bearing on other books (altough there are a few passing remarks in other books that do pertain to these).

4.0�toiles sur 5 Han and chewy in the corpoate sector, Juil 22 2003

Par	JediMack (VALRICO, FL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Star Wars: The Han Solo Adventures (Mass Market Paperback)

These three novels were actually written in 1979 and 1980, long before the Zahn trilogy kicked of what we now know as the EU Expanded Universe. Daley also did the radio dramatizations of the original movie trilogy. Daley also created the corporate sector. Note that almost nothing is ever written about the Corp Sector, but there it is on the NJO maps of the galaxy. Also, AC Crispen wrote his Han Solo trilogy in a manner that accommodates Han and Chewy's trip to the CS.

I have placed this trilogy on the timeline at -4.9 BNH, taking place between The Hutts Gambit and Rebel Dawn (books 2 and 3 of the HST).
These are the first known non-Lucas novels of the SW universe. I am not sure whether they actually pre-date the SW comic strips, but surely Daley is the real father of the EU. If you are a Han Solo fan, this trilogy is a must addition to you library. My copy is the june 1992 edition found at a garage sale.
