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.
