While "The Thrawn Trilogy" with "The Last Command" is good, and any book by that author is great, my favorite was "The Corellian Trilogy." This was where Hans and Leia went back to his home world with their kids and faced the usual suspense and entrigue that follows them. One of the best parts was to follow the antics of the kids as they grew in this series. Anakin, the youngest, best dealt with droids and machines and especially one time when they tried to get a teacher droid to do their homework for them. He reached inside that droid with his force talent to manipulate the "inners" of that machine and fused some parts and started a fire in it. I still remember what he said then, something like, "that droid's really melty now." He was a small one enticed by his older brother and sister to do all that.<br /><br />The worst or hardest read to get through, for me, was "The Jedi Academy Trilogy." It was not a bad series, but I have found with other books of that nature, that usually book two is the hardest to complete, and so by book three it got easier to finish. I think the first love of Luke was found in "The Crystal Star," but she died and merged with a ship's computer system or something, and in the end left to finish a personal quest of her own. <br /><br />"The Han Solo Trilogy" tells about Han's past, his enlistment in the empire's armed forces, and all about his first love and lost and how he met Leia as a teenager. That was an interesting series to read.<br /><br />"The Bounty Hunter Wars:" showed how Bobba Felt destroyed The Thieves(?) Guild, an organized bounty hunters group, and became the bounty hunter he was. There were some insights to his code of conduct and thoughts there as well.<br /><br />I am now just finishing up the lastest series with the new enemy, the Yuuzhan vong, now. When I realized how many of these novels I had read a while back, I was really taken aback with it, and stopped reading them all for a several months. This whole series is full of cha
