Finishing up βRebel Dawnβ, the Han Solo Trilogy. Recently bought both of these books after loving both characters. Which book should I start next, and what are your thoughts, NO SPOILERS on both series.
Thanks.
Changes to things like the intro music would help justify the 80k Legendary skin price. Plus itβs a great piece of music.
It was Chewy.
I feel like this would be the coolest thing every, and a great way to develop Luke, Han, and Leia so we can see their transition from who we saw in the Original Trilogy to the people we see in the Sequels. We would finally be able to see what a universe where there is balance in the force looks like and see the new republic in its full glory. The series could fill in a lot that was missing in the sequels and maybe make us appreciate Ben Solo/Kylo Ren more. I feel like Filoni could totally pull this off and the series could have tie ins with rebels, the clone wars, and the mandelorian. What do you all think? What else would you want to see in a series like this?
Hey everybody. First off, I'm Confed and I am doing a publication order readthrough of Legends novels. I am a huge canon fan but I wanted to learn more about the lore that Solo drew from so I decided to start reading legends. Splinter was bad but I had a lot of thoughts about the Han Solo trilogy so I thought I'd post it.
##My Thoughts
Overall, I thought that the trilogy was pretty good. Stars' End was very much my favorite and Revenge was probably my least favorite but all three books had lots of redeeming qualities. It felt like a very futuristic western movie with double-crossing and somewhat mindless fun. If I had to pick any word to describe this trilogy, it would be fun.
First off, Daley's Han is really well written. Daley did a great job portraying Han as the rugged smuggler with a heart that we see in the OT. His cunning attitude and tendency to pick up women is perfectly matched and interactions with other characters are where he really shined. From flirting with girls to disrespecting authority, to loving Chewie and his droids, Han has a perfect personality mismatch that I think greatly matches Han in the OT. I can honestly say his version of Han was almost perfect.
However, his version of Chewie was a little off. Chewie flirts with girls, even though he has already been shown to have a family in The Holiday Special. Chewie in the OT is shown as extremely loyal and I think his flirting scenes kind of step on that. The Wookiee still has his great strength and smartass attitude, but something just feels off with him.
However, the dynamic between Han and Chewie is just as good as it was in the OT. Both of them make gripes with each other and one particular scene, in which they have a game for who can shoot down the most ships, especially stood out as quintessential Han and Chewie. Daley once again nailed that dynamic and it really enhances the story given how much they interact.
The side characters are mostly forgettable one-off characters, such as Fiolla and Jessa. The two women both exist to drive the plot and serve as a romantic interest for Han but do not amount to much else. Fiolla takes the back seat for much of the second book and merely comes along on the journey. On the other hand, Jessa is shoved into the role of the damsel in distress once she gets trapped with the Authority on Starsβ End as Han is saving the others. As both characters are females, the series showcases a fundamental concept from the Original Trilogy which shoved wom

Because he always shoots first.
Then he would have been so low.
So the other day at my book store I saw these two books, and I just wanted to know if anyone has any opinions on which is better.
They're both collections of three books from the 80's focusing on their particular rogue packed together.
Han Solo's are At Star's End, Han Solo's Revenge, and The Lost Legacy.
Lando's are Mindharp of Sharu, Flameworld of Oseon, and The Starcave of ThonBaka.
I enjoy both characters, so I thought I'd ask what the opinions on both books are to try and help my decision.
EDIT: So, I just bought both, but let's keep the conversation going.
I started reading the Paradise Snare, book 1 of the Han Solo Trilogy. It's pretty obvious that that one comes first. But, when do the 2 trilogies interlap? Is there a good, chronological reading order?
