About this product

Product Information

Here is the explosive conclusion of the blockbuster trilogy that chronicles the never-before-told story of the young Han Solo. Set before the Star Wars(r) movie adventures, these books chronicle the coming-of-age of the galaxy's most famous con man, smuggler, and thief. The Millennium Falcon is "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy." So when Han Solo wins it in a game of sabacc, he and Chewbacca become kings of the smugglers--uncatchable, unstoppable. But with the Empire clamping down, Han knows his luck can't last. Still, when an old girlfriend who is now the leader of an insurgent Rebel group offers him a shot at an incredible fortune, Han can't resist. The plan seems a sure thing. The resistance will be light and the take enormous. Han and his friends will divide it equally with the Rebels. Too bad for Han that the planet of Ylesia is far from a pushover, that the Rebels have an agenda of their own, and that smuggler friends can often turn into enemies...quicker than lightspeed.

A decent end to the Trilogy
Rebel Dawn is the final book in the Han Solo Trilogy. It was written by AC Crispin and released in 1998 by Bantam Spectra in softcover format. The Millennium Falcon is "the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy." So when Han Solo wins it in a game of sabacc, he and Chewbacca become kings of the smugglers- uncatchable, unstoppable. But with the Empire clamping down, Han knows his luck can't last. Still, when an old girlfriend who is now the leader of an insurgent Rebel group offers him a shot at an incredible fortune, Han can't resist. The plan seems a sure thing. The resistance will be light and the take enormous. Han and his friends will divide it equally with the Rebels. Too bad for Han that the planet of Ylesia is far from a pushover, that the Rebels have an agenda of their own, and that smuggler friends can often turn into enemies... quicker than lightspeed. A great little read. :) 4/5 Latsyrhc Tamarack CollectiblesRead full review

I was disappointed.
To begin with, I must admit I cannot manage to read a Star Wars book without holding it up to the movies for comparison. That being said, the word "contrast" applies more than "comparison" in the case of "Star Wars: The Rebel Dawn." The author manges to take firmly established characters and almost entirely discard their personalities in favor of trite, depthless, cardboard mockeries that appear nearly unrecognizable. I can only assume the audience for which it was written must be around 12 to 15 years old. Granted, the basis of the films pay homage to the Saturday matinee serials of the 30's, but the appeal for them far surpassed such a narrow demographic and elevated them to something culturally new to the 80's. Whatever genre they subsequently established, this book fails to reflect their tone, flavor, pace, & manner. It felt as though nearly every page contained either dialogue or behavior that was out of character. Even Chewbacca, whose guttural language is never translated, seems to behave with unfamiliarity. For example, it is explained how he is bonded to the book's main character, Han Solo, with a lifelong Wookiee honor debt - a sacred vow of protection - after being freed by Han from slavery; and yet the character is mostly distinguished by being inexplicably absent for much of the book. If this were the only inconsistency then the reader might be able to overlook it, but too many of the other characters fail to ring true as well. Even the atmosphere and jargon of the Star Wars universe feels as if it were applied with a crayon. It seemed like the author had a stack of Star Wars dictionaries & reference books under his desk that he would whimsically reach inside to randomly extract some funny sounding object or location, thinking it would suffice to color in the environment. "I need a noun here... ah, there's one." Other times he would take a common proverb and replace a word or two with something he though sounded legitimate. You know what they say; a greenark in the hand is worth two in the wixelbush. The effect isn't even good enough to be clumsy. What good can be said about the book? Well, the author did manage to structure a series of events that eventually told a story. There is an adequate attempt at depicting various power struggles between individuals, groups, and factions. And there didn't seem to be misspelled words or grammatical errors. It is unfortunate that the character interactions intended to drive the story get in the way so often that it made the book a chore to get through instead of an escape. In the end, since the author failed to immerse himself in the story, I couldn't either. I wouldn't say the book was 'phoned in' but whatever Lucasfilm paid him to write it was probably too much. I was disappointed.Read full review

Who was Han Solo before he met Luke Skywalker?
This is the third book in a trilogy that covers the life of Han Solo before he meets Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi. A.C. Crispin is an outstanding author and she wrote this trilogy, which begins with The Paradise Snare and continues with The Hutt Gambit. In Rebel Dawn we discover how Han acquires the Millenium Falcon and how he incurs the wrath of Jabba the Hutt. All of the books in the Expanded Universe could be a movie on their own. They answer the questions of where did our heroes come from, what did they do "in-between" the movies and what did they do after Episode 6 Return of the Jedi. If you like Star Wars, I highly recommend this book or any in the Star Wars expanded Universe.

Final Chapter in this Han Solo trilogy
This is another good read for those who love that scruffy-lookin' nerf-herder. It's a great lead-up to his role in the original Star Wars trilogy, including a glimpse at why Lando was so angry with him.
