The New Republic
Showdown at Centerpoint
The Corellian Trilogy: Showdown at Centerpoint
by: Roger Macbride Allen
Summary:
  When a loyalist ship approaching Selonia is blasted out of space, Han Solo quickly realizes that rebel forces are turning planetary repulsors into weapons of immense destruction. Meanwhile, Luke Skywalker and Lando Calrissian manage to discover the terrifying secret of Centerpoint Station. It is the infamous Starbuster itself, and its next programmed nova, hard-wired in, is set to annihilate a chosen star, its inhabited worlds, and millions of innocent lives. There's only one way to stop it: blow up the station. But as a massive rebel fleet closes in on Centerpoint, Han, Luke and their friends will discover time is running out. Then the true leaders of the rebellion reveal their identities, and issue their final ultimatum: The New Republic must withdraw all claim to power over the entire Corellian sector. With the future of Corellian freedom at stake, Han and those loyal to the Republic must somehow resist. But how can they possibly stop the deadliest weapon the galaxy has ever known?

Review:
Good:  It brings a conclusion to the civil war breaking out in Corellia. And, for the first time, we see Anakin's abilities a bit more as he powers up the Drall Planetary Repulsor, and eventually manages to use it to stop Centerpoint from destroying it's next target. Yes, Centerpoint is the Starbuster. But that is about it, the Corellian Trilogy isn't exactly the greatest.

Bad:  Sad notes all around. But otherwise very few bad points.

SPOILERS:



Gaeriel dies... Poor Gaeriel, seems a little sad for Luke, and poor little Malinza...
