The Thrawn Trilogy

I just finished reading a trilogy of Star Wars books entitled The Thrawn Trilogy. This is a Sequel Trilogy to Star Wars: The Original Trilogy, and I must say, it is scrumtrilecent. Timothy Zahn, award-winning author wrote this trilogy is the early 90's, back when Star Wars Extended Universe (Fan Fiction) content was on the fall. This series is now accepted as the final trilogy of the Star Wars series because of the exceptional writing portrayed throughtout all the books. The book picks up only a couple years after the end of Return of the Jedi, after the New Republic has been established, Leia is married to Han, and pregnant, and Luke is teaching her how to manipulate the Force and become a Jedi. The enemy of this trilogy is primarily Thrawn, though a "Jedi" (don't want to spoil anything), C'baoth plays an important role as well. The conflict seems rather trivial at first, with only a small group of the Empire remaining, but as the battle escalates, Zahn's writing truly shines, competing with George Lucas' original trilogy, and in some ways surpassing it. It's hard to sum up this trilogy, but if you are a Star Wars fan at all, this is the one series you cannot pass up. Here's a link to buy them, just to prove how incredible the books really are:
