I remember reading this as a kid (along with the Han Solo Trilogy – which was awesome). It's actually a really good story. Interesting to know that it was written as the concept of a low-budget movie. It definitely would've been as it is entirely set in one location.

All I remember from reading this as a kid is the sexual tension between Luke and Leia, which makes "Return of the Jedi" even more awkward.
