Star Wars: Tatooine Ghost
Tatooine Ghost is a hardcover novel that was published by Del Rey in March of 2003. It was written by Troy Denning.
This stand alone novel takes place 8 years after the battle of Endor.
The book raises views of central characters that are at odds with traditionally held opinions. The friends young Anakin had when he won the Boonta Eve Race make appearances and their memories and thoughts of the boy who became Vader are in opposition to those that Leia has brought with her on her mission to Tatooine. This story takes place less than a year after Leia was courted by Prince Isolder, and only several months after her marriage to everyone's favorite smuggler.
The book answers all manner of questions that fans have been curious about, from why the headstones that appear in Episode II are not seen in Episode IV, and to the meaning of seemingly innocent dialogue from Episode II as well. Characters you think you know well turn out to be much different than imagined, and the author takes you to a certain Pod Racing stadium now falling apart that was once so special and so critical to the path of the future of the galaxy.
The book is not perfect but I gave it 5 stars for the method the author used to keep the interest of the reader so high. Leia is bombarded with information about people she never knew, and is forced to go places she has never been, and meet people that are familiar to fans but unknown to her. This book fills in the life stories of characters I never expected to find in the book, and it will require you to revaluate your opinions about characters you may have thought you knew.
The Empire with its Star Destroyers, the species that took the life of Anakin's mother, Stormtroopers, and a protocol droid that always manages to annoy those he is with, all play prominent roles in this tale. It is also never truly stated but the Imperial Commander attempting to steal the "art/painting" is non other then our art loving Grand Admiral Thrawn.
5/5.

) Enjoyed it very much. The 400 pages were well written and kept me interested. Combining the new characters with the old kept the story alive. A new and creative plot.
