Could someone name the books that were placed during the timeline of the beginning of the Empire. Maybe 5 years to 10 years in, and some taking time right before the Destruction of the Death Star?

I have a book. "Han Solo at Star's End". It takes place 4 years before ANH. It is part of a 3 book series.

There is also "Adventures of Lando Calrissian"

O-B-1, you had that book all along?!!! Sell it to me man!! I want to complete my collection.

Anyway Lumbia, basically it answers alot of questions about Han solo's life. How he came to work for Jabba the Hutt, how he got the Falcon, how he first met Chewie, why did he dump Jabba's spice load and get a death mark. Also it documents all the lovers Han had over the years, and his very first run in with the Rebellion.

Buy it and read it. Or borrow it from a library. It's cool.

Well I have Star Wars Universe Enc. and I read alot about his background. I kinda get a feeling about why, when and where--but I never knew anything about the lovers and such.

Might be interesting enough to buy the book.

I recommend borrowing it from a library unless you intend to add to your collection like me.

Thats because, the books are, like.......you read it once, you know the story. Book not recommended for fans of lightsaber fights.

The only spaces to be filled are
1)Crystal Star
2)Jedi Quest 5,9 and 11
3)Jedi Apprentice 1,7 and 8

Yea, you do that. I hope some day in a long time from now, I can sell off my collection for $$$$$$$.

Either that or my collection will be the legacy I leave to my children.

Do you have the Star Wars Enc. that was released after Phantom Menace? I have that one, has pretty good description for RP situations.
