Legendary Adventures Recap: From the Death Star to the One Sith

At the Battle of Endor, it seemed as if the Rebel Alliance would stand victorious forever against the tyranny of the Galactic Empire. Sheev Palpatine was dead – his Sith apprentice, Darth Vader, had been brought to the light side of the Force by his son, Luke Skywalker, and turned against Palpatine, throwing him down a shaft in the second Death Star. The Rebel fleet led an attack on the Imperial forces, destroying the Death Star battle station and major parts of the Imperial fleet. The Rebels celebrated on the moon of Endor, but did not realize – the fight was not truly over. So much more had to be done to take down the Empire, and even more dastardly evils would rise from the ashes of the Empire. As we prepare for the final stretch of the Legendary Adventures, I wanted to give a short(ish) summary of what happened in Legends after the fall of the Empire.

Artfully Done: The Essential Legends Thrawn Collection: Legendary Adventures Pit Stop

On June 15, 2021, now-Random House Worlds released the first wave of what they were calling the Essential Legends Collection. Reasons for the Essential Legends Collection were threefold: it was a way to get Legends novels back on the shelves, and for some, with new versions (trade paperback instead of hardcover or mass market editions) with new audiobooks; it was a way to help new readers navigate the world of the extremely large franchise library; and it’s a way to resell some older books. Most readers who came into the fandom since 2014-2015 would only really only have one consistent way to purchase Legends novels: mass market paperbacks, at the whim of the stores who still sold books. (I know I personally would avoid mass market as much as possible.) With the Essential Legends Collection, new readers can be introduced to stories they might have missed and familiar readers can experience these books in better formats. Specifically, with the upcoming release of Ahsoka, readers may be curious to read more about Thrawn, one of the main antagonists in the show. This article will give a short synopsis of the five books published under the Essential Legends Collection banner, with a short note about the canon books about Thrawn and the Legends novels that have yet to be reprinted under the banner.
