'''Brian Charles Daley''' ([[December 22]], [[1940s#1947|1947]]–[[February 11]], [[1996]]) was the author of ''[[The Han Solo Adventures]]'', a trilogy of novels detailing [[Han Solo/Legends|Han]] and [[Chewbacca/Legends|Chewbacca's]] adventures in the [[Corporate Sector/Legends|Corporate Sector]] and the [[Tion Hegemony/Legends|Tion Hegemony]] before they joined the [[Alliance to Restore the Republic/Legends|Rebel Alliance]]. He also wrote [[Star Wars (radio)|radio drama adaptations]] of the [[original trilogy]]. Daley died of pancreatic cancer shortly after the [[Return of the Jedi (radio)|radio dramatization]] of ''Return of the Jedi'' finished recording.

Daley and friend [[James Luceno]] (under the pen name "Jack McKinney") also co-wrote the novelizations of the [[Wikipedia:Robotech|''Robotech'']] series and the ''Black Hole Travel Agency'' series. Another animation credit was being the story editor (with Christopher Rowley) on ''Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers.'' Luceno also worked on the series' writing staff. Daley also wrote several science fiction and fantasy novels under his own name, including the novelization of the movie [[Wikipedia:Tron (film)|''Tron'']].<ref>{{Cite_web|url=http://www.brian-daley.com/BrianDaley-books.htm|title=Official website of Brian Daley, Science Fiction Novelist, Books page|archiveurl=https://archive.is/Kv0kW}}</ref>

The book ''[[The Jedi Academy Sourcebook]]'' was dedicated to his memory, as was the radio dramatization of ''Return of the Jedi''.

A transcript of a recorded tribute to Daley from the [[Return of the Jedi (radio)|''Jedi'']] voice cast can be found in [[Star Wars Insider 55|''Star Wars Insider'' 55]].
