On page 1 of this thread there was this post:
Bob the Gunslinger wrote:Usually my recommendation is limited to the Zahn books and only the Zahn books, but someone reminded me of some other good SW reads.

The old Han Solo and Lando Calrission trilogies. They had almost nothing to do with SW or canon, but they were fun. The parts I remember most are the tough decisions Lando would make for which cape to wear with which tunic, Lando owning a starfish droid made by a long-dead civilization and Lando being shrunk to the size of a mouse then enlarged to the size of a rancor (I think that was "Star Cave of Thon-Boka"...is that right?).

These books are just some of the weirdest SW stuff out there since they were written way back before Zahn and the modern SW storyline. However, unlike Splinter of the Mind's Eye, they don't have Luke sleeping with Leia.

IIRC they DO sleep together. They don't DO anything else, though. I've slept with friends before. All it meant was I had someone to talk with or a warm body to snuggle up to. You gutterbrains! ;)

Huh... I remember it implying--not implicitly stating mind you--that after Luke killed Darth Vader (which he apparently did in Splinter), he and Leia had a somewhat intimate relationship.

If I'm wrong, well it's been 10 years since I read it, but I remember being so repulsed and entertained by that aspect of the story that the impression has stayed with me.

I might be wrong, but I remember Luke WANTING to smooch Leia/go after her but not actually doing it. He was thinking about it though.
