Summary: This is a great read!
Review: I think what I liked best about these stories is how the characters of Han and Chewbacca are so well depicted. This is exactly how they were in the trilogy. Anyone interested in Han and Chewie's crazy adventures should stop reading these reveiws and buy the book.

Summary: Everybody loves Han!
Review: If you are curious about what Han Solo was like before he enters the scene in A New Hope, these are the books for you. They are filled with action that keeps you interested from beginning to end.I read these books immediately after reading The Lando Calrissian Adventures, and I have to say that these are MUCH better. Han and Chewie seem exactly as I would have pictured them during that time period. A. C. Crispin references these books in the 3rd book of her Han Solo Trilogy entitled Rebel Dawn. That's what motivated me to read Daley's books, and I have to say that if you want to learn about Han's past, her books are much better.

Summary: Great Book
Review: If you want to read a book that really captures Han Solo this is it. It starts off a bit slow but just when I was about to put it down it took off. The next thing I knew I had read all three novelizations. I love books that leave me wishing there was another in the group.

Summary: Good, especially if you love Han Solo
Review: If you're a major action fan who also loves Han Solo, I can't think of many books better than this trilogy. For the rest of us, I'd say read a whole bunch of the others first, then come back to these. Though the stories are well written and easy to follow, they rely almost too heavily on action and have virtually no character development. Even so, all three are quick, fun reads, definitely worth checking out, especially if you've been a fan for a while. The trilogy basically tell of a few of Han and Chewie's adventures around five years (or thereabouts) before A New Hope, with plenty of shooting, killing, and all around fun. For those of you to whom action is the most important thing, this trilogy is a real treasure indeed, but if you're looking for a more complex plot detailing Han's early life and such, I'd say read A.C. Crispan's more recently written Han Solo trilogy instead.

Summary: Some good background info for the fans
Review: Learn why Chewbaca and Han have such unconditional loyalty toward each other. Learn why Han doesn't want robots talking to him. Learn why he has that scar on his chin, and why his pants have piping on the side. Some good action, fun stuff!

Summary: You like scoundrels, you know you do!
Review: Let's face it. Han Solo is a cowboy. Here he is in all his rougish glory. This is the man who you meet in the Cantina on Tatooine. This isn't the rebel general from Episode VI, so get over it. Sit back and enjoy some well told ADVENTURE. It's fun, it's funny, it's HAN SOLO. Sometimes the characterization does seem a little off, BUT Daley only had one movie to base a character on AND like I said, this IS NOT the same Han Solo we end up with in the final installment of the original trilogy. How could he be? Read and enjoy, and then go read A.C. Crispin. It's all good...

Summary: Another Time and Another Place.
Review: Long before Timothy Zahn wrote the the book that started the Star Wars book craze (HEIR TO THE EMPIRE), long before fans knew anything about the Star Wars Expanded Universe, before THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and RETURN OF THE JEDI, and just a few years after the release of STAR WARS, Brian Daley wrote a trilogy of books dealing with some of Han Solo's escapades several years before STAR WARS. The books were some of the first and at the time very few items items that people could buy to learn more about two of their favorite Star Wars characters: Han Solo and Chewbacca. These books: HAN SOLO AT STAR' END; HAN SOLO'S REVENGE; and HAN SOLO AND THE LOST LEGACY were eventually collected together and sold in one volume as THE HAN SOLO ADVENTURES. These stories take place a few years before STAR WARS and are rarely mentioned in the Star Wars canon. The bad guys aren't Stormtroopers from the Empire, but are soldiers of the Corporate Sector (the real reason behind this is because Lucas didn't have things figured out yet and didn't want anyone tinkering with the Stormtroopers from STAR WARS; you can't really blame him, I mean THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK hadn't even been made, yet). The Corporate Sector isn't mentioned very often in the new books, either. But it is on the maps and every once in awhile there are references to some of the things that take place in THE HAN SOLO ADVENTURES. In HAN SOLO AT STAR'S END, Han and Chewie track down an infamous ship rebuilder for a reward and because they need some repairs. Their quest ends up leading them to the prison planet of the Authority known as Stars' End. In HAN SOLO'S REVENGE, Han discovers that some special cargo he was supposed to transport turns out to be a group of slaves. Han hates slavery and anyone caught transporting slaves can receive an instant death sentence. Han forms a plan to foil the slavers and free the slaves. Once accomplished, he sets out to get revenge on the people who set him up. Finally, in HAN SOLO AND THE LOST LEGACY, Han and Chewie set out to a legendary treasure planet. But there's a bounty on Han's head and once he and Chewie arrive, the Millennium Falcon is stolen and they find themselves being tracked and hunted by a group of assassins and killer droids. Never tell this man the odds. THE HAN SOLO ADVENTURES aren't deep and don't add much characterization to what we know about Han Solo. Yet, like the dime novels of long ago, the books are fun to read and are full of action. They're worth owning for anyone interested in classic Star Wars history, anyone who likes Han Solo, and anyone who is tired of reading the usual Star Wars novels that are currently available.

Summary: The best novels written outside the movies and George Lucas!
Review: The first novelizations to be written outside the movies when Star Wars just hit theaters in 1977, the Han Solo trilogy is not only believable and original, but also captures the brash and heroic spirit of Han Solo. In comparison to all the trivial novels being released today by Bantam Books , Brian Daley's simplistic and candid storytelling style will always remain classic and true to the Star Wars universe!

Summary: Brian Daley's Han Solo trilogy
Review: The Han Solo trilogy was okay. Brian Daley was a great author. There is just two things missing from this trilogy:The Imperials just disapeared and they don't tell how Han got the Falcon. Otherwise,a great trilogy. Daley is one of the "founding fathers" of Star Wars,so he got it,unlike Neil Smith of the Lando Calrissian trilogy.

Summary: A great set of Star Wars stories....
Review: These classic Star Wars stories are great. They are easy to get into. All three start out in the middle of something, which is the way that the movies in the Star Wars trilogy started out. In addition, they contain two of my favorite characters from the Star Wars Universe: Han Solo and Chewbacca. The writing is great and is easy to get into. Like Zahn did for all the characters in the Heir to the Empire trilogy, Brian Daley gets every little bit of Han Solo's character traits. It is fun to read about Han Solo's adventures before A New Hope. Most of the stories take place in a new area of the Star Wars universe: The Corporate Sector. This provides a very interesting backdrop for the duo's adventures. Watch out for how Han treats the droids Bollux and Max differently from Threepio and Artoo. This collection is a great read, and if you are a fast reader, you can read one story a sitting. Read it at all costs. ****1/2 stars (out of *****)
