To celebrate the release of James Luceno’s “Millennium Falcon,” Star Wars.com is kicking of “Millennium Falcon” week:
“She may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts — Han Solo’s understatement barely scratched the dinged surface of the Millennium Falcon, the dilapidated YT-1300 freighter that has been lovingly tinkered with and modified over generations to become the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.
It’s one of the most distinctive vessels of the Star Wars saga, and it is now finally getting the star treatment — the titular role in Star Wars: Millennium Falcon, a new hardcover novel by James Luceno, published by Del Rey Books. The book spans decades, covering the hitherto unrevealed past of the Falcon, from its “birth” at a Corellian assembly line, to its brief appearance on Coruscant in Episode III, to its checkered past bouncing from owner to owner to finally become Han Solo’s beloved starship. Piecing together the Falcon’s origins is part galactic history and part mystery, and it sets Solo off on a spirited planet-hopping adventure.
In celebration of the Falcon, StarWars.com is presenting a week’s worth of Millennium Falcon-focused content, starting with an preview excerpt of the novel that hits bookstores tomorrow.
So climb aboard, buckle up, and prepare to jump to hyperspace for the ultimate flight of the ship that launched a thousand fates.”
So, head on over to SW.com for the excerpt as well as more MF goodies throughout the week. Also, be sure to check out Pablo Hildago’s blog entry about the themed week.
The novel comes out tomorrow as a hardcover! Be sure to join in on the discussion on our forums here. Enjoy!

I started reading this book last night and it starts in the prequel era. during 60 BBY then 19 BBY then 18 BBY then it jumps ahead 60 years t0 43 ABY I have not read to much past the prequel part yet but from what I can tell this book revolves around Han Leia Allena and a new character named Jadak or something like that but how this all fits together is unknown to me yet Luke is in the book to but unfortunately Ben and Jaina who I believe will be the center of attention when Han Leia and Luke are gone are noticeably absent which sucks I will say more later
