Additional Star Wars: Millennium Falcon Information

Two years have passed since Jacen Solo, seduced by the dark side and reanointed as the brutal Sith Lord Darth Caedus, died at the hands of his twin sister, Jaina, Sword of the Jedi. For a grieving Han and Leia, the shadow of their son’s tragic downfall still looms large. But Jacen’s own bright and loving daughter, Allana, offers a ray of hope for the future as she thrives in her grandparents’ care. And when the eager, inquisitive girl, in whom the Force grows ever stronger, makes a curious discovery aboard her grandfather’s beloved spacecraft–the much-overhauled but ever-dependable Millennium Falcon–the Solo family finds itself at a new turning point, about to set out on an odyssey into uncertain territory, untold adventure, and unexpected rewards.
To Han, who knows every bolt, weld, and sensor of the Falcon as if they were parts of himself, the strange device Allana shows him is utterly alien. But its confounding presence–and Allana’s infectious desire to unravel its mystery–are impossible to dismiss. The only answer lies in backtracking into the past on a fact-finding expedition to retrace the people, places, and events in the checkered history of the vessel that’s done everything from making the Kessel Run “in less than twelve parsecs” to helping topple an evil empire.

From the moment the Falcon broke loose from a Corellian assembly line like an untamed creature with a will of its own, it seemed destined to seek out trouble. It wasn’t long before the feisty YT-1300 freighter went from shuttling cargo to smuggling contraband. But it‘s a fateful rendezvous on Coruscant, at the explosive height of the Republic/Separatist uprising, that launches a galaxywide cat-and-mouse game whose newest players are Han, Leia, Allana, and C-3PO. And they’re not alone: Crime lords, galactic pirates, rogue politicians, and fortune hunters alike loom at every turn of the quest–each with his or her own desperate stake in the Millennium Falcon’s most momentous mission. Through the years and across the stars, from the Rim worlds to unknown points beyond, the race will lead them all to a final standoff for a prize some will risk everything to find–and pay any cost to possess.

From the Hardcover edition.

 

What Customers Say About Star Wars: Millennium Falcon:

I can see already the formation of the "Imperial Knights" and Jag as future emporor with Jania at his side. And god only knows what she would have done with the Sun Crusher that everyone knows she intented to use. I read the legacy graphic novels and I see this is pointing the way to match with that timeline. The book is retty good all in all. So the jedi take's her abuse without fireing a shot back where one would think they have lots of amuntion to use oh her. In the books they mention of handing Kyp Durron over to the imperials for war crimes useing the SunCrusher, But if we all remember correctly She sunk civilian cities on Mon Calamari, destroys civilian ships, and on her orders destroyed Dorsks 81's (jedi clone) home world for no reason.

HOWEVER HERE'S WHAT GRINDS MY GEARS.: The government is run by Cheif of State Dahlla who everyone has conveniantly forgotten she's a WAR CRIMINAL.

I really liked how Ben is quite active in the book.

She goes after the Jedi for crimes, and NO ONE mentions her actions.

It gives some great plotlines and lines things out for the future.

So what's my point.

The action is pretty good even though no space battles, if this was a movie there be plenty of activities for action junkies.

I really like the starting plot about Valin Horn and Seff Hallin going insane and the court cases that is some rich material.

Luke mentions something about Tarkin but not her directly.

That Is a real sore spot for me in this book.

The book took a VERY long time to reach me. But that book was in better order then i was told. And the shipper was very nice. So all in all it was a good transaction.

This is the story of the Millennium Falcon, the most famous hunk of junk in the galaxy. At the same time, in the aftermath of Jacen Solo's fall to the Dark Side and death at the hands of his twin sister, Han and Leia Solo deal with their grief by taking their granddaughter Allana on what is supposed to be a fun outing tracing the Falcon's history back.The twin tales are interesting, and eventually come together as Jadak finally joins up with the Solos, and they are taken by the Falcon to the world of Tandun III. And it's told in a fascinating manner, from both ends.It turns out that the Falcon, known then as the Stellar Envoy, was in the middle of the battle portrayed at the beginning of "The Revenge of the Sith", carrying a vital cargo for the Jedi. The pilot, Tobb Jadak, was injured in the escape to the smuggler planet Nar Shaddaa, and spends the next sixty years in a coma.Upon recovering he sets out to find the ship and its precious (and secret) cargo. There they come up against those who helped revive Jadak, in the quest for the mysterious Insignia of Unity. The last scenes, against the backdrop of hazards caused by the Yuuzhan Vong's transformation of the planet, seem more than a bit drawn out, but the whole adventure tracing the Falcon's history is fun, if not yet another story where the Fate of the Universe is in the balance.

A somewhat average book in the star wars series. A book of short stories about the history of the Falcon, much like the tales books from a few years ago, might have worked better. The story that was used as a backdrop to tell the history of the falcon is weak. The ending is a let down.Several good stories about the former Falcon owners save this from being a complete bomb.

James Luceno is probably the only star wars author i read who brings recollection of the Late Brian Daley and his Han Solo novels.He gets Han character nailed in every book he writes.Here we have an above average book where we get to see Han and Leia bond with their Granddaughter Allana, Daughter of Tenel KA and the deceased Jacen Solo AKA Darth Caedus.It is an inbetween novel of the last legacy book Invincible, and Fate of the Jedi Outcast. Another book was supposed to come before Millenium Falcon and Outcast chronologically But is not coming out til dec.
