By far my favourite thing about that trilogy [Thrawn] is the characters. It handles the OT characters beautifully and many of the new ones are all-time favourites of mine - Mara Jade, Thrawn, Garm Bel Iblis, Talon Karrde. I love them all.
I agree the endings to both storylines seems to happen very quickly, but I do think they’re great endings.
Very much this, and one of the many strong points in the early EU books and comics.
I like that the older EU is still in print and can be found on bookstore shelves and libraries . I enjoyed Empire’s End Trilogy by Chuck Wendig
That is the next series of book I’m hoping to read. Really looking forward to it.
I also like that some of older EU is easy to find and can be found quite cheap as well!
