Crispin.  I must say, I couldn't put it down.  This series focuses on Han
when he was a kid and before SW:ANH.  First book was good, recommended buy.

Write your reply.

assistant: Star Wars cost only TEN MILLION dollars to make, and has made almost THREE
HUNDRED MILLION dollars for the first movie ALONE since its release.
The cost of that movie was probably covered in the first day.
When you factor in merchandising, licensing, and of course, the sequels,
the Star Wars franchise has literally made BILLIONS of dollars since its
release on three movies that cost under 100 million dollars COMBINED!
Star Wars didn't waste its money on crappy sequels with pointless special
effects, they made the three movies they put out with QUALITY.
And quality beats quantity anytime.
Get your facts straight, Trekkie scum!

did you watch about 2 minutes of that movie?  Yeah, those were same

Rebellion.  The last one had him saving his friends, finishing his Jedi
training, his battle to stay away from the Dark Side, his realization who his
sister really is, the meeting of Ewoks, and the destructin of the Death Star.
 Next time actually watch the movie with your eyes OPEN, idiot.
