[edit] Publisher's summary

A new era of exciting adventures and shocking revelations continues to unfold, as the legendary Star Wars saga sweeps forward into astonishing new territory.

Civil war looms as the fledgling Galactic Alliance confronts a growing number of rebellious worlds-and the approaching war is tearing the Skywalker and Solo families apart. Han and Leia return to Han's homeworld, Corellia, the heart of the resistance. Their children, Jacen and Jaina, are soldiers in the Galactic Alliance's campaign to crush the insurgents.

Jacen, now a complete master of the Force, has his own plans to bring order to the galaxy. Guided by his Sith mentor, Lumiya, and with Luke's young son Ben at his side, Jacen embarks on the same path that his grandfather Darth Vader once did. And while Han and Leia watch their only son become a stranger, a secret assassin entangles the couple with a dreaded name from Han's past: Boba Fett. In the new galactic order, friends and enemies are no longer what they seem.…

[edit] Behind the scenes

  • Similarly to Betrayal, Bloodlines also contains an "inside joke" referring to Han and Greedo. Han is cursing out of being cheated out of a kill, when Boba Fett says "You should learn to shoot first Solo" by comparison to Betrayal, which makes a reference to the idea that Han shot first, this book refers to Solo as being someone who did not shoot first.
  • Boba says "my dad was killed in front of me when I was thirteen" though in truth he is ten at the time. This is an error.
  • On page 276 of the original paperback release, "Fett" is misspelled "Felt".
  • Bloodline has the only cover in the entire series lacking an ignited lightsaber.
  • On page 223 in the paperback version of Bloodlines, "Mirta" is misspelled "Mira", who, oddly enough, is also a Mandalorian bounty hunter.
