It was a good book that I love and it was like the movies and was just as good. It was action packed and was good for a sci-fi book. It was a exciting and action packed. It was a very good plot. I would recommend it to anybody who wants to know more about star wars.
In 1977, I watched A New Hope in the theater on the south side of Milwaukee. I have been a Star Wars super-fan all these years since. Well before the term "fanboy" came into popular use, I was living that life. But, in all of these years, thinking I knew everything I needed to know of the saga from watching the movies a gazillion times, the comics (Marvel, Dark Horse, now Marvel again) and gabbing (overly nerdy-like) with other fans, I never took the time to read the original trilogy novels. After all these years of being a Star Wars fanboy (am I the only person on earth that digs the Star Wars Christmas Special), I FINALLY read all three original novels this year. The insight I found in them brought me a new level of understanding. For instance, it became clear from reading A New Hope that Luke didn't shoot down the Death Star. Obi-Wan did. That's just one of the jewels I discovered in it. Now I have to go back and re-watch A New Hope AGAIN with this new perspective.
