On one hand, the Han Solo trilogy is both exciting and entertaining, as well as managing to tie in a good portion of his history without impinging on other sources. On the other, I have issues with the character of Bria Tharen, who despite a rather full character arc, feels a little too involved in the universe for a band new character.

Well, at least Bria Tharen is dead. Are the continuity issues to do with the Toprawan incident involving the Alliance? I have agree that among a lot of the trilogies, the Han Solo Trilogy was a good piece of original work, which is a rarity in the EU. For once we are given a down to earth portrait of how Han Solo is as a person and not some death-defying hero, despite the fact he does escape death a few times in the trilogy but he had help and certainly couldn't do it alone.

Except that the portrait of Han Solo we are given contradicts just about every previous source material on the matter (including Lucas' own work) we have on Han Solo with the exception of the Han Solo Adventures (which take place in-between the HST novels, I believe).
