Hero For Hire

In this book, we see Return of the Jedi from Han Solo's point of view.  In my opinion, this is the most far-fetched book (so far) of the Journals series.  I mean, does anyone really believe Han would sit in Jabba's dungeon and tell some B'omarr monk his life story just to be nice?  I don't think so.  I hadn't planned on doing book reviews on this site, but I really don't recommend this series to anyone unless you are just a completist who wants to have every Star Wars book ever printed.  If you want to see why, just read the excerpt...


Excerpt

Han Solo Data Pad
Recorded by B'omarr Monk
Location:  Tatooine
Jabba the Hutt's Dungeon

Listen, monk man.  I didn't care about any Rebellion.  I cared about me, my partner Chewie, my ship, and my reward.  I had debts to pay off.  Goods to smuggle.  My loyalties were to survival.  Period. 1
