Escritas por estrellas del género como Timothy Zahn, Vonda N. McIntyre, Kevin J. Anderson y Barbara Hamly, las novelas de La Guerra de las Galaxias han ampliado la visión de la trilogía de películas de George Lucas y nos han ido ofreciendo la crónica de las nuevas aventuras de Luke Skywalker, la princesa Leia y Han Solo.

I read this for the first time in the summer of 1997. It was my first extended universe book which would lead into my love of the extended universe pre Disney purge. Now that the Skywalker movies are all done, I am going back into the old extended universe.

Due to my nostalgia, this is probably rated higher than it should. It contain the intro of my favorite EU character in Prince Xizor. I enjoyed it every time he appeared.

The book itself takes place between Ep 5 and 6 and prior to when they were called Episodes. It tells how Luke built his green saber, how the plan to rescue Han came about, and a side story about the finding the new Death Star. There is tension between Vader and Xizor for the Emperor’s attention.

I think it still holds up and it was fun to see what Disney/Lucas lifted to make canon later. ( )

Just trash. The new characters, including a ridiculous reptilian Casanova, are cardboard and boring, and it says nothing interesting about the mainstays of the original trilogy. Just an ill-conceived project from the get-go. ( )

I have always loved the Star Wars universe especially the novels that were written about it. While Timothy Zahn definitely writes my favorite books I do quite enjoy the other books as well and this one is no exception. These are books I have read multiple times over the years and still thoroughly enjoy. ( )

Actually only got halfway through this one. Dialogue was forced and cheesy and the character were caricatures. I love Star Wars, but this is just not my kind of book I guess. ( )
