Chewbacca Speaks English/Basic??!

Great rendition.. closely parallels the Expanded Edition.. so close in fact one can only assume they were written in tandem. But the Junior Novel is a very decent and fun read. While it does miss a couple important plot points from Expanded Edition, it also adds a couple.
The one unconscionable and glaring problem with this version is the ridiculous decision to have Chewbacca speak English/Basic!! That is a major detail change... you might as well make Leia a rodian for crying out loud!

Solo fans will love this

My favorite of the Disney era films. I enjoyed the novelization even if it's just the junior version. I give only three stars to performance because I don't know how to feel about reading Chewbacca's lines out. Would have preferred just the growls and roars.
