Thrawn Trilogy
The Thrawn Trilogy reignites the Star Wars universe with a new threat: Grand Admiral Thrawn. This space opera series explores the New Republic's struggle against a brilliant military strategist, offering a classic tale of good versus evil with high stakes and galactic intrigue.
The Thrawn Trilogy should be read in publication order, starting with "Heir to the Empire," followed by "Dark Force Rising," and concluding with "The Last Command." This order is essential for understanding the overarching narrative and character development.
The Thrawn Trilogy, originally published in the 1990s, is part of the "Star Wars Legends" continuity. While it was once the official continuation of the saga, it is no longer considered canon within the current Disney-produced Star Wars timeline.
Grand Admiral Thrawn also appears in a separate series of canon novels written by Timothy Zahn, which includes "Thrawn," "Thrawn: Alliances," and "Thrawn: Treason." These books explore his character within the current Star Wars continuity.
While the Thrawn Trilogy itself has not been directly adapted into film or television, elements and characters from the series, particularly Grand Admiral Thrawn, have inspired and been incorporated into other Star Wars media, such as the animated series "Star Wars Rebels."
