Yeah, the novel and some of the later novels - I read the Timothy Zahn ones, and Michael Stackpole's, and a number of others. Stackpole's were decent military SF!

VCR? What century are you in, man?

I confess I still don't own Star Wars on DVD.

I do, however, own both the original version AND the new release version on VHS, though my family has the original version on perma-loan, pretty much.

"VCR? What century are you in, man?"

LOL! I have a DVD in the other room too, but there's a method to my madness :) See, if I watch the VCR version instead of the DVD version, I can see the original without the extra added stuff. Remember they added the stuff when they re-released it?

I haven't read the later novels yet, but the ones I've heard described to me sound interesting. You ever read Brian Daley's "Han Solo at Stars End" and "Han Solo's Revenge"?--those were two of the other earliest ones. And then there was the Marvel Comics spinoff--I had like the first 80 issues of that at one time, now I think I only have the first six (covering the adaptation of the movie) and a few others. Those were fun! They'd have Han Solo doing, well, solo adventures and stuff.
