From School Library Journal
YA-- This first book in a trilogy takes place five years after Return of the Jedi (Ballantine, 1983) by James Kahn. Han and Leia are now married and expecting twins; Luke is continuing his training as a Jedi, while training Leia. The Republic is at peace, having defeated Darth Vader and the evil Empire. Enter Grand Admiral Thrawn, ex-warlord of the empire, with his rogue Jedi knight. They attack the Republic and attempt to kidnap Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia for their own nefarious purposes. It's great fun to romp with the ``Star Wars'' cast of humans, droids, and aliens again. While it is not on a par with Zahn's creative, powerful works such as Cascade Point (Baen, 1987), Heir is well written for what it is. Recommended for YA collections needing a Star Wars fix. --John Lawson, Fairfax County Public Library, VA2-

Heir to the Franchise
By Andrew P. Catton
Much has been said about "Heir to the Empire" in its 20+ years as a story. I can't help but agree with the positive and amazing statements made by so many. 'Heir' is fun, exciting, original and nostalgic. The characters from the original STAR WARS trilogy are written well, and their advances seem very natural for a story set 5 years after RETURN OF THE JEDI. It wasn't like destroying the Death Star just made everything great for the galaxy- there is political, commercial and personal strife in the New Republic as well as an Empire that just won't give up. A new villain, now iconic in the Expanded Universe, written wonderfully with elitism and menace, presents a threat to our heroes as they struggle to face new challenges and new allies as well.
What was also really fun was seeing the way this book, essentially the first EU novel after 1978's "Splinter of the Mind's Eye", captured the lingo and feel of STAR WARS with phrases like, "landing cycle" for Luke's X-Wing and easily integrated references back to the films. Luke's return to the Dark Side cave on Dagobah and his horrific vision of an alternate, failed assault on Jabba's sail barge is another example of author Timothy Zahn's skill in delving into the feel we already know and then progressing the story.
The pacing of the story is quick and full of twists. I found myself greatly enjoying the leaps in prose that kept the energy up. Amid the fast adventure, however, is a deep and calculated evil, rooted in the novel's portrayal of the new Imperial enemy. You can feel the dark and seething plotting and how easily this new baddie would fit within the film series.
A romp with something for all of the main characters to do, "Heir to the Empire" reinvigorated the STAR WARS franchise in the years leading up to the release of the prequel films. This 20th anniversary release includes annotations reflecting on the development of the story, its connection to other works, and modern looks at ideas that were fresh in 1991. These are insightful and fun, giving a connection to Timothy Zahn along the way that almost feels as if you are sitting with him and reading the story. This is a must-read for STAR WARS fans!

The Book That Re-Started the Expanded Universe
By MereChristian
After the original Star Wars films ended with the release of Return of the Jedi, the interest in the franchise waned, seeming to end with the cancellation of the Marvel run in 1986. There appeared to be no market anymore for stories set in the galaxy far, far away, but some at Lucasfilm disagreed, so they pitched an idea to their superiors for further Star Wars adventures. They argued that these new adventures should take the form of novels set in the time period after Return of the Jedi.
Once they received approval from George Lucas and the other higher-ups, they searched for a writer to pen this new trilogy, and decided to offer the contract for the trilogy to then-rising science-fiction writer Timothy Zahn. Thus, what would become known as The Thrawn Trilogy was born.
The first book, Heir to the Empire outsold the modest hopes that had been held out for the books, and much more. It was a run-away best-seller that proved that there was still a HUGE market for SW stories. Timothy Zahn went on to become, for many fans, the definitive author of the EU (Expanded Universe) of SW stories.
Twenty years after the initial release of Heir, Timothy Zahn released a special annotated version of the novel, with helpful notes, observations, and explanations from himself and (every once in a while) Betsy Mitchell, his editor at Random House.
Of course the story is terrific fun. It takes us five years after the end of Jedi, where the Rebel Alliance has made huge gains since their victory over the Emperor at the Battle of Endor. In those five years, the Rebellion have established a formal government (called the "New Republic" as a continuation of the Old Republic Palpatine ended in his Sith plot), pushed back the Imperials from many star systems, and reached a slight military superiority to the heavily-armed Imperial forces.
All of this success is threatened by a brilliant military commander, and last of the Imperial Grand Admirals, named Thrawn. For his own reasons, which are inscrutable (he seems to have no respect for the late Emperor and his "New Order") to all but himself, he believes the Empire must rise again and the "Rebellion" - he steadfastly refuses to call it the New Republic - must be destroyed. To this end, he has found an insane clone of an Old Republic era Jedi Master, Joruus C'baoth, and is using him to perform carefully-planned attacks to drive the Republic to it's knees.
What's more, he has agreed to the madman clone's price for his help: Leia Organa Solo and her and Han's twin children she is pregnant with, to be kidnapped and handed over to C'baoth.
So began the resurgence in the now truly massive Star Wars franchise. The plot is interesting, but what made this work truly compelling are the characters. Along with the favorites from the movies (such as Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Lando, so on), you have new characters to enjoy. You find yourself both cheering for and against the bad guys, for instance. This is because, though Thrawn is more polished and refined than the Emperor and Vader, is a genius to boot, and has some good motives for some of his actions, there is little doubt that he is still evil. After all, he is fine with killing incompetent subordinates, kidnapping innocents and handing them over to a homicidal maniac, among other lovely things. There is also no doubt that, though insane, C'baoth is the every bit the clone of his template, one of the more powerful pre-Empire Jedi. All in all, this is quite a challenge for the heroes.
Part of the difficulty for the good guys is that Thrawn is careful and smart. He analyzes his enemies, unlike the Emperor and Vader he will retreat from a fight he can't win, and he plans his strategies so that, even when he does lose, he still either gets something, hurts the Republic, or both.
One area that Zahn deserves both praise and some slight critique (but mostly praise) is in the area of how "hard" his SW books are. In science-fiction circles, there is a scale of "hardness" and "softness" in regards to the genre. For instance, how much does the story adhere to scientific fact (hard), or just use science jargon or vague ideas to give a template or justification for story elements (soft). Zahn was limited in how much "hardness" he could put in the Star Wars books due to the fantastical nature of the series. He still tried. Sometimes this could pull you out of the fantastical elements due to the explanations, which obviously was not a good thing. All in all, this is a tiny criticism, because his keeping the characters grounded made the story more compelling and believable than the truly ridiculous paths many other authors have taken stories down since then. While he is a bit long on explanations and science at times, his grounded approach really has been shown to be for the best.
This novel also introduced three characters that would go on to influence future books, and be wildly popular with fans, despite not appearing in any of the films. Said characters are Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, and Imperial Captain Gilad Pellaeon. It's a testament to the story-telling and world-building skills of Tim Zahn that he was able to create characters that consistently are fan-favorites, even sometimes over movie characters.
Of course, this edition of Heir being annotated offers added goodies. As I already stated, there are numerous notes from Zahn and Mitchell about the process of writing the trilogy. These tidbits open a window to the reader about how the tales developed, including what ideas were accepted, rejected, or fine-tuned by the folks at Lucasfilm. To get into the heads of Zahn and Mitchell in some ways helped to almost complete the book, as some questions fans have had about Heir and the rest of The Thrawn Trilogy are answered in the notes.
For the Star Wars fan, and really science-fiction fans in general, this is a must-read.
Highly Recommended.

Great for a fun read, so long as you can tolerate some bad writing habits.
By James C.
The story is fun and I enjoyed how he wrote the various characters as we have grown to know them as. Han Solo acts like Han Solo. Princess Leia acts like...you get the idea. But Timother Zahn has some bad habits in writing. He uses the word "just" too much. It's like a shortcut to what really should be written. He has other writing habits too. These would knock me out of the story, especially when he uses it five times on a page. (Yes, he does that).
I purchased the other two books from a brick and mortar store because I wanted to finish the story. I wasn't disappointed except with Luke's character development. I will leave it at that.
There are some story plots that he tends to favor and they received the better writing than the others. I did grow tired of Leia's story and Han and her always seemed to get split up too easily.
