Since i'm a nerd. i still read Star Wars books. this particular book is set 25 years after Star Wars: a New Hope or 21 years after Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. it is about a race of beings that enter the galaxy from another one, trying to take over the galaxy. They, The Yuuzhan Vong, hate machines and technology. instead, they rely on biological technology that they grow. when using much of this stuff they enter a symbiotic relationship with the object, or connect to it. sort of like they do in Avatar with their tails. this book is just the beginning of their invasion and the first wave is forced back by Luke, Han, Leia, their kids and friends. but more are to come and the New Republics politicians are unwilling to give aid to the Jedi. the Most important thing about the book is that Chewbacca dies. He dies because he was helping to get people and Anakin, Han and Leia's youngest son, to safety on the Millennium Falcon. he dies when the Yuuzhan Vong smashed a planet's moon into it's planet.
