I also read my first Star Wars book back in elementary school. That book was

btw, not that it's that important but... has anyone else noticed how awful the cover artwork has been ever since the new Jedi Order series began?

 

It was The Hutt Gambit. If I remember correctly, it started off with Han smuggling something, and talking to one of the Hutts (not Jabba). Then he went into a bar and either him or Chewbacca (can't remember which) got into a fight and one saved the other's life. They became friends and traveled together, and the book got kinda boring at that point (at least for me, was 10 at the time). So I stopped reading it.

 

Han solo at stars end, sounds like it got ripped of by pirates of the carribean at worlds end.

1. Who did Han Solo insist hurry up, lest he become a "permanent resident" of the crumbling Hoth base?

2. What color does carbonite turn as it melts?

3. Who did Luke successfully contact using the Force while hanging from a Cloud City weather vane?

4. What planet's outposts include Station 3-8?

5. Who knocked C-3PO off the edge of Jabba's sail barge just after Threepio said, "I couldn't possibly jump"?

6. How many tank insignia squares did General Veers' dress uniform boast?

 

1. Chewbacca
2. Red
3. Leia
4. Hoth
5. R2D2
6. 12

 

All correct except 1 (C3P0) and 6 (eight), Tarkin has 12 the maximum amount for an imperial officer

 

I don't know how I missed this post before. I've got to congratulate you on reading them all. owerup: I mean that's pretty intense man. I may never find the time to read all of them although I would really like to. I've seen episodes 4-6 at least 130 times each but as the books go I've only read about 20 of them and each one only once. I need to really start reading them more often but I normally don't have the time.

 

Oh yeah! By the way... Which one of the novels was your favorite... if you have a favorite? There are so many to pick from.
