NEW BEGINNINGS, NEW GLORIES! RE-VISITING 'THE THRAWN TRILOGY'...

As worldwide Star Wars Expanded Universe fans celebrate the all-new prequel origin adventures of the Chiss Ascendancy's greatest tactician in Thrawn: Ascension: Chaos Rising, Arrow Books UK have wisely given us the chance to re-capture our original enthusiasm and nostalgia for the fascinating character as debuted back in 1991, and as the unique first, post Return of the Jedi-era Imperial villain to spectacularly face off against our iconic heroes of Luke, Leia and Han, within a special Legends reprint of Timothy Zahn's groundbreaking, franchise relaunching first book saga - The Thrawn Trilogy, out now in paperback, strikingly adorned with updated artwork from Rich Kelly.

If you haven't already read these books, whose exciting and epic stories and characters would be such an inspiration for many of the future Star Wars TV series filmmakers following George Lucas post Prequels onwards (notably Star Wars Rebels guru Dave Filoni), then you're in for a richly rewarding treat...

CLASSIC ART: MOUNT TANTISS ENCOUNTER!

Its end game inside the Mount Tantiss stronghold for the insane but powerful rogue Jedi Jorus C'Boath, fascinated and delighted by the situation he has created for Luke Skywalker, now raising his lightsaber against an equally armed clone opponent, whilst a Force lightning injured and shocked Mara Jade looks on. A terrific piece of Chris Trevas (?) art capturing a super scene from Timothy Zahn's landmark THRAWN TRILOGY conclusion, The Last Command.

All three of the enduring and groundbreaking books are being republished later this month as part of the Legends banner in the US, from Del Rey, featuring all-new cover art courtesy via Rich Kelly, just in time for Thrawn's upcoming animated debut in STAR WARS REBELS.
