![]() ![]() ![]() To say I was disappointed when the books were just tossed out the window by Disney would be an understatement. Through most of the 1990s and early 2000s, I held high hopes that the Thrawn Trilogy would be brought to the big screen as the definitive Star Wars sequel series in one form or another. The books were brilliantly plotted and well written, and did an admirable job of keeping to the Star Wars mythology and overall tone and style. The Thrawn Trilogy introduced Star Wars fans to such memorable characters as Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Emperor’s Hand Mara Jade, and criminal mastermind Talon Karrde. Unfortunately, the Thrawn Trilogy and all of the EU have now been “de-canonized” and relegated to the classification of Star Wars Legends. Up until Disney bought the rights to Star Wars and released Episode VII: The Force Awakens, the Thrawn Trilogy was considered by most fans to be the de facto sequel, and it also marked the dawn of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy stands out as the fan-favorite Star Wars sequel that sadly never was. ![]()
