comment
Star Wars: Crucible is a Star Wars Legends novel written by Troy Denning and released in July 9, 2013. It takes place after Fate of the Jedi and X-Wing: Mercy Kill. It stars Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Leia Organa-Solo, and is chronologically the last novel published in the "old" EU (in the "main" era of the movies, at least).Han and Leia are at this one cantina called the Red Ronto, and waiting for Lando Calrissian to meet them and discuss the pirate problem in the Chiloon Rift where Lando had established his latest asteroid refinery. Naturally the meet does not go as planned. They do find out that the giant conglomerate Galactic Exploitation Technologies (GET) is involved in this, and inform Luke, who decides to look into it.The novel follows up on several plot threads from Fate of the Jedi, including the fate of Vestara Khai and the search for the Mortis monolith.

The Cameo: Corran Horn, Seha Dorvald, and the Solusars all appear briefly at the beginning. Jaina and Jag get slightly larger roles, as they also appear at the end.

End of an Age: Was likely meant to be an in-universe version for the "Big Three" of Luke, Leia and Han. It ended up being the last post-ROTJ novel for the Legends Continuity before the Continuity Reboot.

No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine: Subverted. Han wakes up after being captured to find the Qrephs intend to play sabaac with him... except the bets are all various kinds of tortures to be applied to the loser. And the whole time they're actually recording his brain waves so they can properly program his clone.

Conservation of Ninjutsu: In the first chapter, two Nargons take out two Mandalorians and nearly do for Han, Leia, and their miner friend. Their effectiveness drops pretty rapidly, to the point where a YVH droid near the end is mowing down piles of them at a time.

Avenging the Villain: The Qrephs kidnap Han Solo to get revenge for their mother's death. Not that he killed her; he was just her last customer before being murdered, and they don't really know who killed her. The Qrephs admit to Han that there's only a 12% chance he's the one who did it, but they're going to kill him anyway just to be absolutely certain.

Informed Ability: Marvid Qreph and Craitheus Qreph are Columi and are said to be hyperintelligent. However, this is never really shown. Craitheus in particular is really bad at this. While Marvid bounces back and forth in doing intelligent things, Craitheus continually gets overly aggressive and makes choices that sabotage their long term plans - best exemplified in chapters that focus on Marvid.
