Star's End is one of my favorite SW novels for all the reasons you list above-
but you are aware it's only the first in a trilogy, right? Yes, you can follow
the further adventures of Bollux and Blue Max through Han Solo's Revenge and
Han Solo and the Lost Legacy, all by Brian Daley.
It's available at Amazon as three books in one, titled "The Han Solo
Adventures".
There's also the Lando Calrissian Adventures, also three books in one, but by a
different author. I don't think I ever got around to reading them, though, so
I don't know if they're as good.

| Funny, I know about the other books, but I never tried to read them. Maybe I was saving them for later. (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
