Chewie is the real MVP

A solid Star Wars adventure, but not my favorite of the "New Canon".Many thanks to my Goodreads buddy Matt, for being my StarWars guru (Or my "Yoda", if you prefer) in guiding me to what to read and what to avoid in the Star Wars universe.

Fun read with two of my favourite characters. Rucka gets their voices well.

Everyone was in character, and gives a story in between ANH and ESB. It also gives a glimpse into Han and Chewie's smuggling activities.

Wavering between 3 and 3.5 stars. I'll decide in my review to follow shortly.

*clappy hands* Fast and fun, like a Star Wars book should be. I'll read anything Greg Rucka writes, and I hope he has the opportunity to write a lot more of this.

Entertaining. Middle school reading level, grade 6-8. Entirely plot driven, Star Wars stories are often at their best when they try to do the least. Solo, Chewie and the Falcon are on grab and go assignment. The mission: find trapped operative in hostile territory, get him to safety. Fly in, fly out, fire blasters, escape TIE fighters, and banter, as needed. Takes place soon after destruction of first death star. Like Aftermath, features another competent female Imperial field officer, Commander...

This book, like Luke's, is set between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Han is talked into a rescue mission to save the man whose capture could destroy the Rebellion. Unlike Luke's book, Smuggler's Run did provide the expansion of both Han's character and the world. We have met several new and intriguing characters, including Commander Alecia Beck of the Imperial Security Bureau and Delia Leighton, captain and waitress on Miss Fortune, basically flying cantina. The man in need of rescue is Ma...

Okay, but not really memorable or that great. The only amusement was really the guy looking back and talking about himself, while no one got it. Great, silly, predictable lovely trope use of that one, especially given it was published between the movies of the 6-9 set. Liveplurk below:ɑรรɑรรiɳcɑptɑiɳ Omg.

3.5 StarsSmuggler's Run is just a little story that takes place between IV and V. After the destruction of the Death Star the rebels are ready to hide throughout the galaxy abandoning Yavin's base and while Han is ready to leave all of this behind and finally settle some old debts, Leia asks for his help. There's a rebel in danger, a man who was a part of an special team inside the rebellion, he has important information and he's now being hunted by the Empire. There's only one ship fast enough,...

Well... this one took a while. Not because it took forever to finish it (listened to the audiobook at the beginning of this month and I finished it in one day), but because I almost completely forgot about it the next day and I didn't feel like reviewing it. I just have so little to say about it that I couldn't get myself to even bother to review it for so long. Let me explain: This is the third of a trio of middle grade/junior novels released in the early years of the new Star Wars Canon leadin...

Pretty fun Han and Chewie adventure. It doesn't do anything new or develop the characters in any significant way, but it's a fun story that can be read in a couple hours.

To check out all my review: https://dancinginth3dark.wordpress.co...I am ecstatic that I was able to finally finish this book and take part on this journey to the Force Awakens. Each day I am slowly losing my patience for the new Star Wars movie and I do not know how I am going to handle it come December. I am lucky enough to have plenty of comics and books of Star Wars to keep me entertain. I have to be honest and mention that this book will likely get 3 stars or at best 4 depending on my lovel...

This is a very fun middle grade Star Wars book, focusing on Han and Chewie in the OT era with bits and pieces of the ST era. I remember reading this for the first time right before Force Awakens came out, hoping for major clues. Not so spoiler alert: not many of them in here, but fun introductions to themes and mentioned TFA characters like Ducain. I was inspired to listen to SMUGGLER'S RUN on Scribd because I couldn't remember much about this book and the audio was quick and narrated well. Marc...

Han Solo and Chewbacca, the crew of the famous Millennium Falcon, have gotten their reward and they are going to go to Jabba the Hutt and pay off their debts. But instead, they have a mission: Find and Rescue Calcuan Ematt on the planet Cyrkon. They have to evade bounty hunters, a ruthless Imperial agent, and get some help from some old friends, in order for their mission to be a success...

An aged Han Solo tells a group of young mercenary types a story about the famed Millennium Falcon, a story set between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. After helping Luke during the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo looks forward to going back to his smuggling ways. However, Leia isn’t quite through with Han and Chewie just yet as she requests their help to locate an important figure in the rebellion who has fled after an Imperial ambush. Reluctantly (on Han’s part), Han and Chewie finds themselv...

This was a pretty straightforward SW adventure...but something about the story/writing really appealed to me....just a fun read.Content: I honestly can't remember anything bad in this book....

- The hardest reviews to write are the ones where you don't have anything to say about the book. This is one of those books.- It was a fun Han and Chewy adventure. That is all.- I did like that old man Han is telling the tale and reminiscing of his younger rebel days.

this is how a star wars novel should be. fun. a simple enough story with good characters with all the feel of the movies. unlike most of the new novels which are abysmal.

5 starsNice to see a Han Solo and Chewbacca adventure. Story was very fun. Whatever did happen to Beck?RIP Han Solo!!!! :-(.
