Vision of the Future was the perfect sendoff to Star Wars for me…leave the future adventures of Luke, Han, Mara, Lando, Leia, Wedge and all the rest up to our imaginations. The duology is my canon SSD (Sequel-Sequel-Duology). Of course, it was last book written before the PT ideas infected/defecated on SW.
This, pretty much. If Star Wars had effectively ended here — no prequels, no sequels, and little to no more EU — it would’ve been an excellent sendoff for the franchise.
Maybe I should just place myself in that mindset.
