Haven't made much headway yet because my beach trip starts tomorrow, where I might be reading a lot more. So I'm pacing myself.
Luke's crash landing on Mimban is very similar to his crash landing on Dagobah. This was written before TESB. I wonder if Lucas copied the idea from here. Certainly possible.
Mimban has 2 names and I always wonder why authors do that. You are creating it! Just give it 1 name! Why confusion?!

First day of beach vacation. Will I read more than 1 book this year?
Now that I've gotten a bit into this - yeah, it's pretty bad. But I've read worse. I can forgive the Luke/Leia sexual tension due to when it was written, but I do not excuse how fucking immature they are. It's dumb.

Several DAYS later? What?! Did he just casually skip ahead one week in the span of one sentence?!

Wow, Luke being obsessed about Leia is immediately apparent. I had heard about how this book is laughable in retrospect because of it, but I didn't know it was going to be THAT blatant and THAT early. I guess Foster really thought Luke should be the one with Leia, not Han.

The first piece of SW content ever produced that wasn't directly related to a movie. I've never read this, but I do remember seeing it on shelves. I avoided it due to knowing it was old, lol.
I love how the cover boasts an intro from Lucas, and it's like 2 paragraphs long. His disdain for anything SW that he didn't write is so evident. He didn't mind making money from it, but he never regarded it as 'real.'
