Legends Thrawn Trilogy: The Last Command review

3 stars

The Last Command is an improvement on Dark Force Rising, but it doesn’t live up to Heir to the Empire. It fixed my complaint for the previous novel, that being that Thrawn hadn’t really beaten anyone yet, and the fights we see him taking and winning are engaging. Other than that the story is mostly fine, that smugglers plot is somewhat convoluted in my opinion, and I feel the ending for Thrawn himself is rushed in favour of the ending for Luke and C’Baoth. In the end, it is still an enjoyable read, but not as much as I was hoping for, leaving me rather disappointed in a trilogy that is so commonly hyped up.

So, finally finished the trilogy. Yep, my final, but biased opinion since it's been years since I read these originally is that I so very much prefer the new version of Thrawn. Some of what he is in today's books is missing here, and to me being a fan of those, noticed it. But I also had to remind myself that this trilogy wasn't about Thrawn himself, which is why we would go back and forth to whatever Han, Luke, Lando, Leia, etc were doing. It was about all of them, with it being the original version of the New Republic trying to clean up the remnants of the Empire and the remnants of the Empire led here by Thrawn trying to restablish themselves - the original Aftermath trilogy, to compare to the new canon books. So, yeah, the ultimate story here was good, but not really one I predict …

The conclusion picks up pace and does better, although the resolution is rushed. The mad Jedi idea never really plays well

Good story. I liked the way some of the original (non-movie-based) characters developed over the series. Need fewer lip twists :-)

Probably the best of the three books. I would have liked a little.more at the end, but at least all the threads were closed, if somewhat forced.

I found myself skimming pages at times but you'll be fine if you like Zahn's style.
