I have had the Han Solo trilogy in my possession for a long time, but since life, moving and health isdues got in the way, i have not had time to read it. Any good? No spoilers, though. I'm looking forward to that Han Solo movie they're making, although I'm sure it'll be different. He's my favorite Star Wars character.

Even though it's Legends now, I think it was a good fun adventure read. Only downside of course though is that it IS Legends now, and is more than likely about to be rewritten or picked through (now That could be fun to identify any bits they keep from it) with the new Han story.

Pardon my ignorance but which Han Solo Trilogy are we talking about?
If you are referring to The Paradise Snare and The Hutt Gambit, they are excellent! Have yet to read Rebel Dawn. Soon. The Paradise Snare has some interesting parallels with Oliver Twist. A must read if you are a Solo fan.

LEAVE ME ALONE BEFORE I GET SO MAD BECAUSE YOU BOTH WONT LEAVE M ALONE BUT AMBER IS OK JUST NOT CHAD
Just delete the app or close your account and it will stop. Not that difficult. I don't think anyone is personally attacking you here.
Why haven't you deleted your account or the app, sister of the monkey from Aladdin? That's why I said the power was yours.

For what it's worth, I do not think Chad was trying to bother you. There are 953 members of this group, and we all got a notice when Chad started this discussion.

All I said was that the power was hers, meaning she could close out her account herself.
why are we talking about star wars I think that is a good topic
Chad wrote: "All I said was that the power was hers, meaning she could close out her account herself."The WAY you were saying it...calling her "sister of Aladdin's monkey" was antagonistic.
HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED AKINATOR THEY GUESS WHAT PERSON IS IN YOUR HEAD!
Excellent question, Amber. Why are we talking about Star Wars in the Goodreads Star Wars reads panel discussion?
Chad leave her alone she is talking to me
Chad, I wasn't the one asking the question. So, unless you have something that's on topic to add to this discussion, PLEASE JUST BUTT OUT!
Jamie wrote: "Pardon my ignorance but which Han Solo Trilogy are we talking about?"I read A.C. Crispin's Han Solo Trilogy. It's a good trio of novels, to be sure, but I liked Brian Daley's take on Han and Chewie a lot more. Unfortunately, both authors have passed away, and the novels are now non-canonical, relegated by Disney to the limbo known as Star Wars LEGENDS.
STAR WARS, of course, Chad. Never heard of Akinator.
Amber, Akinator is the name of the game that Aba asked you about on May 31st.I think Chad is pointing out the irony that he originated this thread, other people took the thread off-topic, but now he is being accused of derailing the conversation.
Oh, OK. Still holds true that until Aba asked me about it, I'd never heard of Akinator.
Amber can you text me because you said that you would text me on Monday in the after noon but I have school from 7:40 to 2:40 that's the time I start and get out and so I cant text you in the after noon so can you text me today that's what I said to you yesterday but you never answered me back on it so I think that we should start talking today and I think that we should at least talk to me and that we can see what we want to talk about because I have nothing to do at all today and I think that we can bring up a good topic and I think that we could have a really fun time trying to find a topic and that we can start talking about it because we might have the POWERS to talk about it and that we would just have to try our best on what would talk about and ya I think that we would just want to wait until someone answers back but they could not be on when you are texting them back so I think that we should pay attention to each other and see what we have to say and hat the other person has to say because I think that we are not going to respond in a long time because it takes me a long time to text to you and some times it takes you a long time no affiance im just trying to say that it could take people a long time to answer back but I think that you are a very good person because you are just helping me out with things and stuff like that I think we should be very hood friends because we have talked to each other and that we have had good comments to you and me and that it is just turning out to be so nice. Is it cold their it is warm where I am at but at night it gets cold at night sometimes but not all the time I think that it is cold where you live because I think it is and I just think that people that live where you live Amber have to wear sweaters and stuff like that but I don't have to because it is so warm and that we will not have to wear sweat shirts because today it is supposed to be 75 degrees where I am at so ya what does it look like where you live it I just so hard for my city and town to pick up trash that's on the round and I feel bad for them because they have to do that and I feel like they are going to be poor because they have to pay money for what they doing then I feel like thy are just so mad that they have to spend their money and things like that.
CHAD WHY DID YOU SAY THANKYOU TO ADAM HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO YOU AND YA WHY DID YOU SAY THANKYOU TO HIM HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING CHAD FROM ALADDING YOU ARE THEN MONKEY CHAD I CALLED YOU THAT BECAUSE YOU CALLED ME THA AND SO I AM DOING IT TO YOU TO SEE HOW IT FEELS TO YOU.
what does that mean and what are you talking about
hey chad answer back you are so slow at answering back no affiance but ya c'mon answer me on this
So, to echo Chad on the subject at hand...I have read both Han Solo trilogies and liked them both. I haven't read the Corellian trilogy yet. How does it compare?

Still working on the first one, honestly. Lol
Aba wrote: "Amber wrote: "Oh, OK. Still holds true that until Aba asked me about it, I'd never heard of Akinator."" Its a game that guesses what you are thinking in your head and it has to be a person and it will ask you on what color hair and stuff like that and then at the end it will see if it was the person that you thought of and then if it is hit yes if its not hit no
what is this about any way chad
Star Wars, Aba. This is the Goodreads Star Wars page. The one you didn't want to be on and didn't know why you were on.
Aba wrote: "what does that mean and what are you talking about"Han Solo is his favorite STAR WARS character, Aba.
I sent you a reply to yesterday's message. I was offline on Sunday since I don't have Internet access at home.
In answer to your questions about the weather where I am, Aba, it's 85 degrees here in Belleville, IL. And weather.com is predicting one hell of a scorcher for most of the US for summer.
I read Crispin's Han Solo trilogy in my mid teens. Feels long ago at this point! As far as I can remember I found it to be at best an okay read at the time. I didn't, and still don't, think Crispin really got Han right and that the end of the trilogy doesn't fit with the Han we see in A New Hope. Just an opinion, mind you. But, Crispin did develop a few things that I found interesting; the Hutts, for instance. There are worse Star Wars reads out there for sure.
Yeah...like every damned thing written by Karen Traviss(ty!)
On the topic of bad authors...I started reading EU books back in 93 or 94. I devoured Zhan and Anderson, and thought they would be my new favorite authors (after Asimov passed away).
But then I read The Truce at Bakura. That is when I realized that just because a story takes place in the SW universe, does not mean it will be good. "Leia would never be that mopey!"
Then I read Jedi Search, and realized that even good authors can sometimes write mediocre stories. "Really?! Another superweapon?"
That is when I gave up on everything EU. I am only "okay" with Starkiller base, and only because the movie clearly showed it was just another Death Star.
I've given up on much of the old EU books, except for those by Alan Dean Foster, Brian Daley, Timothy Zahn, James Luceno, Steve Perry, and Michael Reaves. I have quite a few books that looked like they'd be enjoyable (
), but ended up gathering dust on my bookshelves.
*stares transfixed* Alex, please put away "The Courtship", very carefully, and step away from it. Don't do anything rash. We can talk about this.
