The Last Command by Timothy Zahn

jayrbradley's review

4.0

While the trilogy is not really a masterpiece of storytelling, Zahn's ability to manage this orchestra of a cast in such a way that they all felt consistent internally and externally to the story and the original films is such a commendable achievement. Thrawn as a villain will stick in your head for a long time and while I don't see these stories really acting as films because of how convoluted some of the stuff gets (see: alien politics), I like it as a long series of episodes of an anthology like the clone wars. Fun!

I was excited to finally finish this series. I'd read the 1st 2 books quite a while back. Was sort of disappointed in reading this last book. A bit lack luster. Glad to have the 3 book series done, passing them on to a friend now.

I think my next star wars book is going to be Splinter of the Minds Eye. Happy reading!
