So you like the three Brian Daley Han Solo books better than the OOT?

Yes. I just don't have any interest anymore in Lucas Star Wars. It's tired - very tired - because it never grew, nor was it expanded upon. To me, Lucas did just the opposite. He significantly shrunk the universe as a whole and even managed to take away from the original story. It all became very repetitive, tedious, and small.

Brian Daley's Han Solo Adventures and his NPR Star Wars are much more in line with what drew me to the original film in 1977 - mystery & adventure in the vast unknown of space.
