Ads

From an ad in Southern Enclave:

The complete story of Solo's life after he marries Leia. Much is revealed about his past. Great trashing and great mushy stuff.

The March 1985 issue of Rogue's Gallery has this comment:

Are any of the Han Solo Fans ready For a novel? RESOLUTIONS: SOLO has been written by Homer Sapiento and it's a dandy with about 650 pages. The story covers six years Following JEDI and answers many of the questions left unanswered. Who was Solo? How did Chewbacca become his trusted friend? How does Leia cope with her scoundrel? What happens to Luke? Calrissian? And C3P0 and R2D2? There are tears of joy and tears of sorrow along with plots and counterplots that could destroy the Rebellion.

The total price will be about $25 ppd, so if you're interested send me $5 to reserve a copy. This will be a VERY limited printing because of cost, so if I don't get enough reservations, your

money will be returned. Rating: PG. This will be a collectors item. Fans. You shouldn't miss it. Overseas Fans should send $5 US cash.

The Zine's Date

The zine itself is not dated.

The June 1985 issue of "Rogue's Gallery" mentions that there had not been enough interest in the zine to print it.

A fan in 1985 mentions reading the zine later that year.

Star Wars Zine Bibliography lists 1984, which is a rare error in that publication.

The Zine's Foreword

Excerpts from the author's foreword where he thanks:

Mrs. Joann Emerson without whom this never would have seen the printed page

the readers of Rogue's Gallery who appreciated this writers work and fed his ego

to my best friend, lover, and spouse without who this would have never been begun, and who lived with my faults, failings, and turmoil while it was.

the various manufactures of typewriter ribbon and paper, all of whom have seen their profits soar through this endeavor.

with thanks to all of the above, and to whoever might come after who reads the following: if you laugh a little, shed a tear or two, understand the characters involved and care about them, it is well done

I have been reading his beautiful story RESOLUTIONS:SOLO during my convalescence, and to all you Ford/Solo fans out there, believe me, you'll never forgive yourselves if you miss out on this. It's a masterpiece. An invitation into Solo's home and private life you'll never forget.
