	Having just reread this trilogy the other night, I still love it. It's no easy task to make Jabba the Hutt LIKEABLE, but she did it. I loved the tying together of Han and Lando's previous trilogies, as well as just about every other source in the EU. The Battle of Nar Shaddaa, in particular, was a highlight. -----signature----- New Spoiler Policy--TFN's All Time 2nd Dumbest Rule Jag/Zekk shipper...yes, seriously Anakin Skywalker-- not redeemed In my canon, EU trumps the prequels...

	Yes, I agree. Jabba is one of my favorite characters in the HST. It adds a lot of depth to the hutt that we don't get from RotJ. Durga was actually a fun character to read as well, especially in contrast to Xizor. -----signature----- Duke of Corellia Join the Corellian Browncoats in their fight against the evil Alliance!

	Yeah, I really loved all the detail we got about the Hutts and the underworld. It's such a large part of the universe, and it was good to see that explored. -----signature----- "Is there a captain's hat involved in this?" "I . . . don't know what department I want. I need . . . pants."

	I've only read the first two books in the HST but I thought both of them were rather enjoyable. I wouldn't count them as my favorite Star Wars books but they were never boring. I never had any problem with Bria and I'm curious as to why she is hated by some. -----signature----- But in purple, I'm stunning!- Londo Mollari, Babylon 5

	I've just recently come across an old book I had in storage for a long time, and since I had back before I knew anything about "authors" (I just read books, ya know?) I didn't even realize it was by the same HST author... The book is "Time for Yesterday," a Star Trek tie-in. Anyway, now that I'm out of my flash-back to childhood... My take on Bria is that I think she was an absolutely necessary character in developing Han's character. I know we knew how he acted in the films, but I think this helps show WHY. He fell in love and got burned. That would tend to make most people a bit cynical, don't ya think? As for the books themselves, I don't wanna sound like I'm trying to suk up to anyone. I've been accused of that before, but I just really like almost everything I read. I feel the same with movies; with a few rare exceptions, I like about anything. That's why I'd be a horrible reviewer. I've never read a book LOOKING for something to hate. I read, I enjoy, I read some more. So, with that said, I'll just say I love the books, hate the fact that you had to put up with some crap, and hope we see ya around here some time in the future.... -----signature----- ".....broadcast origin.......sixth planet.....Hoth system........."
