RFR Q&A #194: The Thrawn Trilogy

In 1991, STAR WARS made a grand re-entry into the world of fiction with Timothy Zahn's HEIR TO THE EMPIRE, kicking off THE THRAWN TRILOGY. This story was the first-ever continuation of the saga beyond RETURN OF THE JEDI and it kicked off a new age of Expanded Universe stories. RFR V.I.P. Ben Stein returns to the Q&A to break down the entire Thrawn Trilogy from HEIR to DARK FORCE RISING and concluding with THE LAST COMMAND. Plus, we compare the evolution of Thrawn's personality, voice, and overall threat to the New Republic, while looking back at his appearances in novels, audiobooks, animated series and live action series.
