It probably helps that in the Star Wars universe you can never go wrong with throwing a bunch of Corellians together and seeing what happens. Corellians are simply the coolest, not least because of Han Solo, but also the likes of Wedge Antilles, and myriad other Corellians introduced into the EU. This is probably why something like 97% of all non-Jedi Mary Sues are Corellian in some way (and then there are the rare species, the Corellian Jedi, like Corran Horn).

The time has come for Han Solo to go home to his homeworld of Corellia. He along with Leia, Chewie, and his children go for an important trade summit. But a New Republic Intelligence agent, Belindi Kalenda warns him of the unknown situation on Corellia. Once there, the situation escalates, as none of the major species (human, Drall, and Selonian) can stand each other.

Better than average SW novel, but with a hokey set up: no government would let it's Head of State "vacation" in a remote, recluse system where all recent agents of that government have disappeared. Okay, it's Star Wars. Our heroes try to do stupid stuff all the time, but the set up is as unreal as the star-destroying gravity wave projectors. (Shouldn't have mentioned that.)
Too many typographical errors. Someone didn't read the proofs.

Well, still a 3 star rating if you ask me... The story was a little bit better, but there were parts that I skimmed over. I still think the whole Lando story with the might be wife didn't really have to be like that and him and Luke could have just been where they were in a different way. I am sure she might have some kind of connection in the last book. I also skipped a little bit when Han and Leia's kids were around.

I cannot complain too much about the lack of a conclusion because it is book one of the trilogy. That being said, I am still a champion for one longer, although, less convoluted novel. The Lando storyline was weak, and Luke, a full blown Jedi Master isn't getting used the way a Jedi should be used. Potentially, this story will make better use of Luke in the future, and Lando...well Lando can do what Lando does. I have not enjoyed any Lando storylines in some time.

I realized I've had this trilogy on my shelves for years, but had never gotten around to reading it. Meh. It takes place ~20 years after fall of the Empire, so after the Thrawn trilogy and I'm pretty sure the Jedi Academy, but I'm not sure where it fits with other things. Not the best star wars book I've read, but not the worst either, and there's some stuff here that might be setting up cool stuff in the later books - I don't know yet, though.

1st of a star wars trilogy that could well be the most entertaining of all the bantam sw books published. The solo children get lots to do in this one and they rock. probably the best trilogy after the Heir/empire trilogy. (and the originals:) the origins of the planet corellia eventually unveiled are awesome sf fare - could have been a non sw novel easily. 8/10

I couldn't get through it...and believe me, I tried. I found the writing style dull, and the story completely unengaging. The main characters were bland wallpaper, compared to their depiction in other novels in the series. A great pity, as I would have enjoyed a more thorough exploration of Han Solo's home planet.

I thought that this was a good way to find out about han solos past but also to find out about his family was even better. Also if you read this book then meet one of Solo's cousins, Thraken Sal-Solo. If you want to find out if Han solo actually had kids then you have to read this book.

Yes, sometimes I read Star Wars books..... Now, there are good Star Wars books and there are bad Star Wars books. This was one of the bad ones. If you're looking for a good one, get the Han Solo Trilogy by AC Crispin. Those were good Star Wars books.

Good Read...if you don't mind some Star Wars backstory like Chewie is Han's side kick becuase Chewie owes him a life debt for freeing him from slavery. That comment was like a 7 on the geek radar. But still an enjoyable read.

I read a lot of Star Wars novels in Jr. High. It took a few dozen books before I realized many of them just weren't all that stellar. Ah, well, I'll squirrel away the memories on the internet and free up a book shelf.

I've read worse. I liked Corellia and fleshing that system out a bit. The Solo family tie-ins were a bit too convenient, but I can let things slide.

Not too bad. An excellent addition to the Star Wars universe. One last note, I found at least twenty typos which disrupted the storyflow for me. =)

What I remember: Thracken Sal-Solo, Centerpoint Station, cute little Solo kiddies. (Namely Anakin, who I will always love more than the twins.)

One of the better "early" Star Wars books, focused on the main characters from the original trilogy. An interesting setup for the rest of the series.

The Corellian Trilogy is pretty decent. It has a little different feel than the normal Expanded Universe stories.

Some of the first books I'd read as a kid. I wonder if they would be so great if I read them now???

Really this book was only okay, but I'm giving it extra points for it's ability to hold my attention without inducing me to stay up late reading it. Also for nostalgia.

I really enjoyed the begining book of The Corellian Trilogy. With trouble brewing in the Corellian Sector, Han Solo takes his family takes his family to see his homeworld, while secretly trying to discover the cause of the trouble. I enjoyed this book, as well as the entire series, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as other Star Wars Books.

This trilogy was a bit slow. It didn't have enough of Luke in it to really catch my full attention at the time.

I'd read the kids' scenes at the beginning and skip the rest. I like Allen's take on the kids the best out of all of the characterizations I've seen. Yes, they're oh-so-special kids with special talents and special parents, but they're also brats who have to be educated and kept out of trouble.

Yet another fun series, where the Solo kids run amok. We learn more about Han's family, Sal-Solo, and a family feud ensues. Decent quality writing, and a nice story line. This book is recommended as a must read.

Han solo is just kick ass. This is basically blade runner with a different name.
