	Hi Ms. Crispen!!! What's on the horizon for your publishing schedule? Anything you'd like to tell us about and/or recommend to us? As always, I think any return by you to the SW EU would be a DEFINITE PLUS!!! Your SW EU work product always shows that you "lived and breathed in the Star Wars Universe!" Best! Ana V

	Young Han Solo trilogy was pretty good for pre-ANH material. I like the ideas she presented for Han and Lando's falling out and how Han dropped his shipment of spice. -----signature----- <--- Dreaming of the 4th Reich "A Jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense...never attack" "Or perhaps LuCASH is a better term..." - Destiny_Skywalker Ever notice how in ROTJ,Leia's voice sounds like the one of an old drunken hag?

	I agree, Ana. ACC would definetly be a welcome addition to the EU, and specifically the NJO. I absolutely loved The Han Solo Trilogy and since then Ive wished that Ms Crispin would return to write another SW book. So, will our wish come true, or what ... ? -----signature----- Currently Reading: Soul of the Fire by Terry Goodkind

	Yeah, I woudl love to know Leia's backstory. Very little is known about her except she was a Princess of Alderaan and was involved in politics VERY young. I think her story would be absolutely fascinating, and kinda like the exact opposite of Han's. And also, I love Ann Crispin's work, wish she had written more. Thrilled that she posts on this forum! -----signature----- @~`~ So you think you can love me and leave me to die? RIP Jeffy- clear skies from here on out

	I've read all of Ms. Crispin's published SW work, and I thoroughly enjoyed it all (who would've thunk? ). I really hope that she does get a chance to write in the EU in the future as I know there are tons of fans of her work. ~*~Bria -----signature----- Nothing can stand in the way of a million voices calling for change.

	I'm a big fan of her Han Solo trilogy. Those three books are the best in the entire SW series - and to think I almost decided not to get them as I wasn't sure if I wanted to know Han's backstory. Glad I did! I'm also hoping that Ann will return to write the Leia Organa trilogy. -----signature----- ROTS, ESB, ANH, AOTC, TPM, ROTJ

	Originally I thought it would be stupid to develop a just-about-Han backstory. But holy cow, did I ever change my mind in a hurry! I must say that the Han Solo trilogy was one of the most entertaining books I've ever read. I loved the first showing of everyone's favorite sarcastic smuggler, the development of the Lando/Han friendship and eventual arguement, Bria Tharen and Han's buddies....overall a great story. I sincerely hope that ACC is allowed to re-enter the Star Wars fold again! excal -----signature----- The Once and Future Protector of The Fortress The Force will be with you. Always.

	I would have enjoyed the HST even if they were not Star Wars books. I thought that they were very well-written and entertaining. I hope that Ann does Leia's backstory too, that would be fantastic. -----signature----- I always prefer to believe the best of everybody, it saves so much trouble. ~ Rudyard Kipling

	I read the Hutt Gambit before I read any other Star Wars book or even saw the movies and I LOVED it. It and Star by Star are my favourite SW books ever. but Godzilla (the old one!) is on Space Channel now... so I must cut this post short. -----signature----- Sister to _Alisas_Silverleaf_ "One day love just hits you with a flash, leaves you staring blindly just like a photograph..."

	Scuze the spelling, it's rather late here Aside from Han callin Bria 'babe' and the Hutt sex change thing (but really, I'd hate to think of how else those things would mate, and aren't some worms asexual?) I thouroughly enjoyed those books. They were written competently and tied all the other backstories to him superbly while not totally giving away his childhood (like the whole Solo business). I absolutely adored how she brought us right up to ANH (although after just losing Bria, he seemed to develope a coy interest in Leia fairly quickly no?). This being said, I would buy a Leia backstory from her in a heartbeat. But if I were her, I would really wait until Ep III comes out before attempting it so as to not cross wires unneccesarily(sp). I heard she posts here occasionally, so I really hope I didn't come off as arrogant or stupid or whatnot. -----signature----- As has been said: Don't **** with Kenobi

	A Leia backstory would be cool, but given her talent to tie so many threads together, I'd love to see her tackle a Prequel character, perhaps Padme. Either way, I've always loved Ann's writing and would love to see her back in SWU. -----signature----- She loves me. I love her. MEP + KRD
