Book Review: A Ship Only A Solo (or Skywalker) Could Love, Okay and Everybody Else Too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit (ashamedly) that I actually missed picking up this book the day it had come out and didn't get it until that Saturday. I know I am going to have to speak with a very upset Wookie shortly. Hopefully, there won't be any arm pulling out of the sockets discussions. I think that would tend to hurt just a bit. Anyhow,..
I started reading this book right away and was a bit apprehensive at first as I had visions of the Legacy of the Force series and those weren't what I would call good visions, although some of the writing was quite good.
I was happy to find out that my apprehensions were unfounded and the writing was very well done and I immediately go sucked into the story lightsaber and all. Now I don't want to give away too much of the story as I hate to ruin it for someone who hasn't read it yet, so I won't. Instead, I will just give you a couple of highlights that I really enjoyed.
1. Some really great history of the Millenium Falcon, before Han got her.
2. Han and Leia's growing relationship with their granddaughter, Allana.
I could easily give you a whole lot more, but then what would the fun in that be. Besides, I really detest spoilers and don't want to ruin it for anyone else. So please, take my word for it and get this book and read it. It is a nice change of pace for the Star Wars universe, a great story without the entire galaxy being in turmoil once again.

Summary of Millennium Falcon (Star Wars)
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.
