This is the final book in the “old” canon, before Disney Star Wars.
It was incredibly cool seeing Leia as a Jedi Knight. And I think I preferred it to battle weary General Leia in a way. She was unbelievably fierce and awesome, and the confidence Han had in her ability was so attractive!
So if you can get past the fact that the entire timeline is different (there‘s no Ben Solo, for instance, no first order) then this is really fun stuff. 5 stars!
