Star Wars: Dark Force Rising: The Thrawn Trilogy, Book 2

By: Timothy Zahn

Narrated by: Marc Thompson

In this essential Star Wars Legends novel, the sequel to Heir to the Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn’s sinister plan threatens to spell doom for the fledgling New Republic and its most iconic heroes.

The dying Empire’s most cunning and ruthless warlord, Grand Admiral Thrawn, has taken command of the remnants of the Imperial Fleet and launched a massive campaign aimed at the New Republic’s destruction. Meanwhile, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian race against time to find proof of treason inside the highest Republic Council—only to discover instead a ghostly fleet of warships that could bring doom to their friends and victory to their enemies.

Yet most dangerous of all is a new Dark Jedi, risen from the ashes of a shrouded past, consumed by bitterness, and scheming to corrupt Luke Skywalker to the dark side.

True spirit of original movies

If you are a true Star Wars fan this series is a must-classic story that does justice to the original trilogy and it’s characters unlike the last set of movies especially the Last Jedi and the trash that it was

Great performance, decent story

Awesome performance of the OT characters voices, he's got Han and Luke perfected.
Story was a little lackluster but hey it's Star Wars

JUST...WOW

Why on EARTH did Disney declared this book series non-canon? Travesty! Travesty of the worst kind! This author CLEARLY understands Star War and his novels are a testament to my claims. In my heart this is the TRUE sequel to Return of The Jedi.

Don't get me wrong, this is not an attack on the new Star Wars books that are coming out. Some of them are incredible and deserve our attention.

But take my word and don't deprive yourself from reading or listening this masterpiece just because it is not canon. You owe it to yourself to read what could've been.

Thank you.
