Reading the Trilogy of Han made me love him even more. Next I'll have to get the Adventures of Lando Calrissian.

I've now finished the final book in the adventures trilogy and was a little disappointed with this one. I really liked Bollux and Max, but other than that it just seemed sort of forced - I actually struggled to get the motivation to finish it.
Once again Han was written very well, but the book was a bit of a disappointment after the previous one (especially with Chewie reverting to being more in the background after having such a prominent role in the middle book).
Now I have to decide whether to read the Lando Adventures or the Han Solo (Crispin) trilogy next ...

I would have liked to have read about the scene where Han Solo decks an Imperial Officer and frees Chewie, but I have no complaints about the way that Ann Crispin chose to write her own trilogy. Both trilogies are keepers.

Brian Daley's Han Solo Trilogy has always been highly regarded by most of us who were old enough to read and remember them when they came out. It was a mark of LFL's regard for Mr. Daley that they got him to do the scripts for the radio dramas afterwards.
Are they older books? Sure they are. But every author who has written a Star Wars book since has taken those events into account and I've never read anything in the EU yet that contradicted this trilogy.

But over all, I thought BOTH Han Solo series were greatly written, since (to me) it is how Han was, it is interesting to witness Han's life as an observer, If you ever had an alcoholic in the family, it might make more sense. Han is (to me) like my grandfather was when he was younger, errily so. And the way Han gets portraid gets tougher for the writers as his legend grows. At least when these were made Han didn't have a past really.
I think over all the Adventures of Han and Chewie need to be made into more books. Where was Chewie after ep 3? A series about that would be great too. It's actualy funny how often Han goes with certain types of "outfits" that land him into trouble. I love Han's character as a Scoundrel. |

Yeah, he does, but it doesn't actualy have that IN it. It's only after he has done it, and he can't get rid of Chewie. So techniqly no it it doesn't have the SCENE Han frees Chewie. 
That's what I'd like to read about. It's like the Borramir death scene in Lord of the Rings. Awesome seening it on the big screen, but...what's this? It's not IN the book? only as a after-mention. You get what the author sends across, but miss the full story.

Yeah, Han rescues Chewie in the Crispin trilogy. Which is also good.

Hmmm ... I was assuming that I would be reading about that in the Crispin trilogy which goes back further in time (and ends later).
Am I wrong about this?

I finally finished the second of the books - Han Solo's Revenge - and quite enjoyed it once I got into it.
For much of the book it had the same sort of simplistic feel that the earlier book also had - and then I realised, as Han and Chewbacca's paths diverged, that this was because there was pretty much only one point of view. There is none of the interludes with the bad guys or splitting to follow characters on different paths for much of these books.
However, when the paths did split in this book, the Chewie part included some of the best characterisation work with him that I have read, and showed how he really could have had so much more potential than simple sidekick/babysitter.
Hopefully I'll get through Han Solo and the Lost Legacy a little more quickly than I did the middle book ...

I liked the books. They weren't the best ever but they were not horrible.
