April 1979, October 1979, and August 1980. These novels by Brian Daley were not the first STAR WARS tie-ins, but they were the best of the early phase, and a strong influence on later SW media. The creative success of these exciting, frequently very funny books, which chronicle three adventures of Han Solo and Chewbacca prior to the first movie, had a lot to do with Daley himself. According to Daley's friends and his partner, novelist Lucia St. Clair Robson, Daley was Han Solo, or close to it: a brash military veteran with no love of authority, a fondness for sports cars and motorcycles, and a notoriously sarcastic sense of humor that concealed a heart of gold. Ironically, Daley, who genuinely loved STAR WARS, would have preferred to explore the history of the Jedi, but Lucas declared that off-limits, and imposed many restrictions on what Daley could and couldn't use from the films. For that reason, the novels take place on the fringes of the Empire: The first two books are set in the Corporate Sector, a region administered semi-autonomously by corporate interests with their own ruthless Security Police (an idea that clearly inspired some of the plot of ANDOR), while the third is set in the Tion Hegemony, a remote principality.

HAN SOLO AT STARS' END has Han and Chewie roped into aiding a group of people whose relatives have been "disappeared" by the Corporate Sector Authority, which is quietly rounding up dissidents and sending them to a secret facility called Stars' End. After Chewbacca is captured by the Security Police, Han concocts an elaborate, harebrained scheme to rescue his friend and the other "lost ones" from the galaxy's most closely guarded high-tech prison. Naturally, things don't go quite as planned, leading to a spectacularly ludicrous finale. (Spoiler: Han accidentally launches the prison complex into space.) This novel was subsequent adapted for the STAR WARS newspaper strip by Archie Goodwin and Alfredo Alcala, although the adaptation unfortunately isn't a patch on the original.

HAN SOLO'S REVENGE finds Han and Chewbacca, desperate for cash, taking a job that turns out to involve transporting slaves. This is a line our heroes will not cross, so after dealing harshly with the slavers, Han agrees to help a Corporate Sector Authority auditor named Fiolla of Lorrd track down the ringleaders of the operation, one of whom is her once-trusted assistant, Magg. Meanwhile, Chewbacca is forced to contend with a stubborn skip-tracer called Spray, who is determined to repossess the Millennium Falcon over Han and Chewie's unpaid bills!

HAN SOLO AND THE LOST LEGACY has Han and Chewbacca agreeing to help Han's old buddy Badure, Badure's friend Hasti, and an academic named Skynx locate a legendary lost starship, the Queen of Ranroon, the fabled treasure ship of an ancient tyrant called Xim the Despot. (The skull on the cover is Xim's emblem.) Although this sounds like it was influenced by RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, the book was actually published almost a year before the premiere of RAIDERS.

Although the novels make clear that Han is not overly fond of droids, the books give Han and Chewbacca a pair of droid companions: a laconic old labor droid called Bollux, and a small, extremely sophisticated, disconcertingly enthusiastic computer probe called Blue Max, who "lives" within a compartment in Bollux's chest. Here's how Alfredo Alcala depicted them in the comic strip:

Daley also includes some delightful aliens, including the skip-tracer Spray, who's a Tynnan — basically a sentient beaver with the dexterity of a raccoon — and the Ruurian academic Skynx, a sentient caterpillar who's determined to complete as much of his research as he can before entering the next phase of his life cycle and becoming a chroma-wing who'll have little memory of his former identity.

A useful companion for the first two books is Michael Allen Horne's HAN SOLO AND THE CORPORATE SECTOR SOURCEBOOK for the West End STAR WARS RPG, published in 1993:

Aside from the inevitable game statistics and some quite decent illustrations of the novels' characters, the sourcebook fleshes out Daley's conception of the Corporate Sector Authority, explaining how the Corporate Sector functions and its relationship to the Empire. This is narrated in part by Han Solo himself, which is presented as excerpts of later interviews with an Alliance historian named Voren Na'al (a common conceit in the WEG game books that works especially well here). The sourcebook is best read after the novels, since it explains their plots in detail, but it's a worthwhile supplement. Unfortunately, a planned followup describing the Tion Hegemony was never published before West End Games lost the SW license.

Brian Daley's other major contribution to STAR WARS lore was scripting the NPR radio adaptations of the first three movies. STAR WARS originally aired in the spring of 1981, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK two years later. Daley also wrote the later adaptation of RETURN OF THE JEDI, but he died of cancer in early 1996, at the age of 49, so the final drafts were completed by John Whitman.

Can we talk about Mon Mothma in Andor for a second? Ok cool. 

I’m an Old-ish person, so I grew up watching the Original Trilogy on VHS in the early ‘90s. As I got older I started to delve into books, comics, video games, etc. 

When I first saw Jedi I’m not sure I really registered Mon Mothma. But watching it countless time, I grew intrigued by this woman. Eventually I got Star Wars sourcebooks (I loved the Encyclopedia and the character guides) and learned that Mon Mothma was the leader of the Rebel Alliance.

In the novels, Mon was often the New Republic Chief of State in early Star Wars publishing days. She’s featured substantially in the oft lauded Thrawn Trilogy. She also showed up in video games occasionally, usually to assign the protagonist a top secret mission. The older I got, the more I appreciated this woman who was the leader of the Rebel Alliance. She really was an antithesis to the Emperor. She wears all white, speaks with delicate strength, and isn’t shrouded under a cloak like Palpatine. She is present to brief her troops before an incredibly pivotal mission and is pained at the loss of the Bothan spys. 

Anyway, I asked for her action figure for Christmas one year and I still have it. 

I was super excited when I heard we would be seeing a younger version of the character in Revenge of the Sith. Sadly, all of her dialogue was cut (along with Padmè’s entire subplot....I will never not be bitter) and she appears as a glorified extra. She was used a little in The Clone Wars but only in a supporting capacity. 

When I saw the trailer for Rogue One, I was ecstatic to see Genevieve O’Reilly back to play Mon Mothma...with actual lines! It was so special to see her at such a pivotal point in the Rebellion AND with Space Jimmy Smits! 

Once they brought her into Rebels, I was over the moon. I loved seeing this character get more and more fleshed out over time...even if it was very slowly. I feel I should also note she has quite a large role in Chuck Wendig’s canon Aftermath trilogy of novels. I enjoyed it but it isn’t for everyone. 

So now here we are, and Mon just made her debut as a co-lead of a prestige drama on Disney Plus. Not only that, but the show looks gorgeous, is expertly acted, and features what is certainly the best writing that has ever graced the franchise. I won’t spoil anything, but Genevieve O’Reilly has a few scenes in Episode 4, and she is phenomenal. 

I’m elated. I can’t wait to learn more about this character, especially during a period of her life where so much is on the line. The stakes are so high for her right now (Don’t worry girl, it’s all worth it.) 

I’ve been wanting a political/spy thriller in the Star Wars universe for a while now. I’m so glad it’s finally here and that it’s the best Star Wars has looked in a while.

For the meme - 3, 15, 18, 30!

Hello anon friend!

3- What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

The Thing Itself. Cassian's Sipo/Mimban backstory. I had a lot of fun tugging on the tiniest snippets of information from the show (mostly his convos with Luthen), playing a little with the Rogue One sourcebook backstory (or wherever the Fest side of things comes from), to puzzle that one together to develop (read: break) the character we meet in Andor ep 1.

15- What WIP are you taking into next year with you?

Lay you Low for Hamilton and if it's not done by then, Tether for Andor. And, you know, anything else my brain picks up in the next 3 weeks LOL.

18 - The character that gave you the most trouble writing this year?

Oh boy. Undoubtedly the bias of being my current project but, Bix. (so naturally I figured a whole fic from her POV, why not). Trying to kind of... blend what we know of who she is, what she's been through, where she'd be in this slightly-in-the-future setting, the struggle is real.

And 30 was answered in the last one!

[theputterer]

sorry they’re blurry, but these are a few photos from THE REBEL ALLIANCE SOURCEBOOK (1994) that was so helpful in writing the Nonsense, with so much information on the history of rebellion in the Atrivis Sector (where Fest is, where Cassian is from) and the early days of the Alliance.

I’m returning the Sourcebook to the library tomorrow, as I am all done with the Nonsense, but wanted to share a few photos here.

#i recommend it! #it's out of print though so good luck finding it #but you read it and you're like AH this is why cassian is from fest #cassian andor nonsense #personal #writing #star wars #rogue one #cassian andor #the rebel alliance sourcebook

It’s only just dawned on me that when Major Partagaz says Dedra came from “enforcement” he means the Enforcement branch of the ISB:

So if this is anything to go by, Dedra was hired in from outside any organisation within the Empire (basically to do dirty work the ISB/COMPNOR can wash their hands of).

This also means Dedra hasn’t just clawed her way to Supervisor as a woman in a male-dominated field - but from an unconventional position, a branch that’s looked-down on and even treated with suspicion within the organisation.

Furthermore, Internal Affairs (the branch that psychologically tortures the rest of the ISB) have a particular dislike for people from Enforcement…watch your back indeed, Dedra 😬

#star wars #andor #dedra meero #The ISB #ISB #the imperial sourcebook #dedra backstory clues that only raise MORE questions 🤔 #this implies she wasn’t indoctrinated and groomed for her position #she chose it and sought it out willingly #much to think about #will share more from this book as soon as i can
