A bit of a history lesson here is necessary for the uninitiated. Odds are that there will be few (uninitiated) here, given that most drawn to this review will have working familiarity with the subject matter, but I'll supply a few details from memory anyhow. Call it posterity. Once the lights in the theatre went out on STAR WARS: EPISODE 6: RETURN OF THE JEDI, serious Star Wars enthusiasts had no idea when (or even if) they'd be treated to another adventure in their most favorite cinematic unive...more
This 420-page hardcover volume is a collection of the 17 separate issues writer Mike Baron adapted from Zahn's best-selling trilogy. The dust jacket features artwork by Matthieu Lauffray, whose style is reminiscent of legendar illustrator Drew Struzan.
The book contains, for the first time in one volume, Baron's adaptations of:
Heir to the Empire: Five years after the destruction of the second Death Star and the deaths of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, all's not going...more

I liked the novels a lot so was happy to finally get a chance to read the comic adaptation. The results were a little off. I preferred the art used for the first two novels to that of the third, although the way the letter u was made in the first novel looked like an n and it drove me crazy for a while.
But the final result still seemed a little off to me. The narrative of the story would just jump to something else without a very smooth transition, or no transition at all, making me ...more

A (mostly) accurate representation of Timothy Zahn's original novels. There are a few parts where important details aren't given enough focus. I could see some one who hasn't read the novels being a little confused at certain points. There also one or two typos which is a little disappointing. This is a great companion book to the original novels and looks great on a collector's shelf but might not be the best way to first experience the Thrawn trilogy.
This trilogy was harder to get through than I thought it would be; and I'm a big Star Wars fan. I think the writing was sub-par, and the plot seemed to drag out too much (though I loved Thrawn's brilliance and ability to out-maneuver the New Republic at every turn). Not sure if I'll read any other SW books unless they come highly recommended.
This is the graphic novel version of the trilogy of books. If I hadn't read the original books a long time ago, I would have had a really hard time following what was going on. The story itself is great but the execution as a comic is awful.
