I hate how Dark Empire was moved from immediately after ROTJ to after the Thrawn novels at the last minute just because Zahn didn't want to reference Dark Empire. Dark Empire would have worked much better immediately after ROTJ both thematically and in terms of continuity. You'd have a smooth transitiom from the OT to the post-Vader era to the post-Palpatine era. Thrawn could be Palpatine's top admiral (besides dark side Luke) in Dark Empire, setting up the Thrawn novels.
