This series launched the Star Wars expanded universe of novels and stories. I bought it so I could read about Mara Jade, who is a character I knew nothing about except what my friend told me.It sounded interesting so I bought the series. Also Timothy Zahn will be author guest of honor at ConGlomeration 2019 in Louisville this year, so I will see if he will sign them for me.

I’ve been searching for this specific cover of Heir to the empire for about a year. All the other ones on sites like amazon only had the new legends cover so finally finding this specific book has been amazing.

Even if you're just a casual Star Wars fan, I'd still highly recommend this book starting a new adventure that takes place 5 years after Return of the Jedi. It marvelously builds on the events of the original trilogy and introduces a handful of excellent new characters that I fell in love with right off. The established cast is wonderfully in character, so I could just hear their voices and see their faces as I read. The captivating story drew me in and honorably continues this legendary adventure in a galaxy far far away.

This is the book that started the full extended Star Wars universe! Timothy Zhan captures the true spirit of the movies. Heir opened large portions of the post-Empire EU (such as the very name of the former capital of the Empire, "Coruscant"), and also introduced some of the most beloved EU characters: Talon Karrde, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Mara Jade and Gilad Pellaeon. The book is set five years after the events of Return of the Jedi. The Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine, and driven out the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy. Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting twins. Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights. Thousands of light years away, Grand Admiral Thrawn, the last of the Emperor's Grand Admirals, has taken command of the shattered Imperial Fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the new Republic. Thrawn is searching for a Dark Jedi and is succeeding in restoring the Empire. The Republic will be forced to face this new threat with the utmost caution in order to end the Empire's threat to the galaxy. 5/5 A MUST READ for the true Star Wars fan! latsyrhc Tamarack CollectiblesRead full review
The Thrawn Trilogy is probably the best trilogy within the old Star Wars Expanded Universe. If you or someone you know wants to enter the EU, reading this trilogy is the way to do! It still has all of the old characters from the movies we love (most of them) but Thrawn may be the best character of them all!
