![]() Using a combination of secret Imperial technology, a forgotten Clone Wars-era fleet and his own strategic genius, Thrawn is able to bring the fledgling New Republic to its knees. The Empire is weakened but not defeated, and that much becomes painfully apparent when Grand Admiral Thrawn emerges from hiding and begins unifying the scattered remnants of Palpatine’s military. Heir to the Empire is set five years after that movie, a time when the New Republic is trying to solidify itself as the galaxy’s ruling power.

By that point, there had been a number of novels and a yearslong Marvel Comics series. It wasn’t the first Star Wars spinoff book to see the light of day. ![]() Star Wars: Heir to the Empire was written by Timothy Zahn and originally published in 1991. ![]() Play What Is Star Wars: Heir to the Empire? ![]()
