The Last Command
Star Wars: Thrawn #3
Timothy Zahn
4 Stars
Ok, I enjoyed this. It wrapped up VERY quickly though. As was reading along, I kept waiting for things to fall apart for the badguys, and they do, but not until almost the last chapter.
It reminded me of the Original Trilogy. Man, I wish this trilogy would be made into a movie trilogy. Oh well.
And I think Zahn does an admirable job of writing about things that he has no history with and makes it work. Things that are gone over much later in the EU books. Cloning, the force, cloning jedi,Borsk Feyla [Oh, how I hate that scumbag Bothan!], MARA JADE!
Damn you Lucas Books People for killing her off, the twins.
So many things are started here in this trilogy that the EU uses, that to be honest, these books are almost more important to the EU than the original movie trilogy is. ’nuff said.
