Last Shot follows Lando and Han as they are pulled back to action by troubles from their less-than-honest past. Switching back and forth both between the two of them and their past selves, this book really gets to shine when developing the characters.

Scoundrels aren't meant to mature, so what happens when they do? While Han struggles with fatherhood and a government position, Lando can't admit to himself that he wants to settle down. The internal conflict in both cases is spectacular, Lando specifically being more tridimensional than ever 

The plot is quite whatever. The villain is a non-issue and completely uncharismatic. I really didn't feel stakes rising at any point. The back and forth between now and then also hurt the pacing, and didn't add anything to the story other than interrupting the flow. (I have a feeling they were added solely for the cameos).

I understand that it's a Star Wars novel, and for Lando and Han fans on top of that, but I believe this would've been an extremely strong addition to the saga if it had trusted itself to be an adult narrative about maturing and left the action more to the backdrop.

(my favorite scenes 100% were the ones with baby Ben. He could've been so much if not for all the muder :'()
