Only read one Star Wars book. Shadows of the Empire. The space between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi--detailed! It showed how Boba Fett got Han got to Jabba--zapping all kind of competing bounty hunters. All kinds of different stuff with Luke and Lea infiltrating a secret organization and then planning to save Han. Lando was there and, of course, so were the DROIDS. Dash Rendar and a character called Jix were introduced along with some a cool swoop bike gang that work for Jabba. A really strange villian called Xixor pops up and on and on. It was really good. I just found the rest of the books hard to get into.
