The Han Solo trilogy set of books are the greatest books set in the Star Wars universe. Nothing else even comes close. Agree or disagree?

So uh, I haven't been on /lit/ in a while. Are spambots really this common now?

Also, on topic. Yeah this was really good, but I'd say Timothy Zahn was a bit better. I will say this though, I loved NOT seeing Jedi in this. The Galaxy is full of non-Jedi, and it was good seeing them in the spotlight.

timothy zahn
his work was good enough that it should have been original material
the rest of the Bantam years sucked, just crappy writers given an assignment to churn out some crap without any sort of editorial oversight.

I thought that trilogy was pretty average actually. Especially the coincidental meetings that kept happening. Fucking trillions of people spread out over a galaxy, and those two just always happened to be in the same spot.

They were readable though.

The Thrawn trilogy and Han Solo trilogy are both great. Anything by Matthew Stover is also god-tier.

He wrote Traitor right? I remember thinking it was the first good new Star Wars book I'd read once I got past Gannor's death. Amazing sequence.

THRAWN

The Han Solo Trilogy was terrible. Every character not named Han Solo was just a surrogate for the movie characters not named Han Solo. They even had Hutts that weren't Hutts but acted a lot like Hutts.

Yes, Traitor is one of his most notable works. Shatterpoint also.

I'm rereading Stackpole's X-Wing novels. While they're not as good, writing-wise, as I remember, the plotting is pretty good.

Shatterpoint is cool

>> No.616820

Does Shatterpoint actually develop Mace? Or does it keep him as Samuel L Jackson in SPACE?

Thrawn Trilogy begs to differ, it is clearly the best.

And I actually enjoyed the NJO. I enjoyed seeing aspects of the Star Wars universe that had never been displayed.
