  • Chapter 8 of Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. Adapted into a short fanfilm.
    The Rebel Alliance has destroyed the Death Star, defeated Darth Vader and the Emperor, and driven the remnants of the old Imperial Starfleet to a distant corner of the galaxy.
    Princess Leia and Han Solo are married and expecting Jedi twins. And Luke Skywalker has become the first in a long-awaited line of Jedi Knights.
    But thousands of light-years away, the last of the Emperor's warlords has taken command of the shattered Imperial fleet, readied it for war, and pointed it at the fragile heart of the New Republic....

    Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Grand Admiral Thrawn ? No. I thought not. It’s not a story the Disney would tell you. It's a Expanded Universe legend. Thrawn was a Grand Admiral of the Empire , so intelligent and so sophisticated. He had such a knowledge of the Unkown Reigions. He could even keep the ones he cared about from Rebels. He could actually save people from Rebellion ?
    What happened to him? He became so superior... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his artworks, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught to Rukh everything he knew, then Rukh killed him in his sitting in chair. It's ironic. He could save others from Rebellion, but not himself.
    "But... it was so artistically done."

      Well TFA takes place after Luke started and ended his Jedi Academy, there was no context in that movie. You were just supposed to just go with whatever information they threw at you and it wasn't planned out at all. Then Rian Johnson does his own take in TLJ and makes Luke out to be a jerk. Then ROS rushed to the finish without proper explanation because the trilogy had to end. They didn't even stop and focus on a single film to be good and plan out the trilogy. It was about getting out there as soon as they bought it.

      The Thrawn Trilogy delivered a better sequel to the OT, that's just how I see it. What do you want to see after the Rebels defeat the Empire? The difficulties of maintaining that victory and the galaxy they now control? Like an actual sequel, like the story the Thrawn Trilogy told. Or a total reset where the Rebels are just the Rebels again for no reason and the Empire is just renamed the First Order? A soft reboot.
      What kind of new threat would you like to see? A villain completely different from Vader and Palpatine, like Thrawn, or a poor Vader cosplayer and literally Palpatine again?
      We can agree to disagree. My opinion won't be invalidated by your claim that I have a vendetta though.

    @DarthAngelus you truly are a hero. I have been dreaming of seeing this come to life since I read the trilogy as a youngster back in the 90s.
    Before the dark times.
    And you have done a superb job. I would say this is a demonstration of perfection.
    The tingles I got in episode 2 when Luke was talking to ObiWan and Obi-Wan said
    ‘I have loved you as a son, as a student, and as a friend’ as he was saying goodbye.
    I am a grown man and I felt tears welling up when I heard that. With coruscant in the background. Perfection.
    Thank you so so much.
    I still dream of attempting a live action version of this.
    I would start with how the book starts, close up in the pupil of Captain Palleon’s eye as he thinks the narrative. Slowly zooming out to see the bridge of the Star Destroyer.
    Imagine if Disney had the bravery to do this. The actress who played Leia in Rogue One, she did a great job despite all the criticism of Leia’s CG smile - bring her into it and de-age Luke like they did in the Irishman with de Niro and bring Harrison ford back in and de-age him.
    Everyone would’ve forgiven the uncanny valley aspect of it and would’ve really appreciated the effort to bring Zahn’s ST to life. If only they did it in this timeline.
    We would all be so happy. They would’ve recreated that feeling we all got back in the days of the OT. That optimism, that hope, that adventure.
    Something you’ve managed to recapture with your incredible efforts. I salute you.

    back when it was just the original trilogy in the 90s, and expanded universe could be found in most major stores in the book sections , the dark forces games, shadows of the empire, all of that -- star wars had a certain feel to it (which i think that's why people didn't like the new trilogy when it came out in the 2000s because it had it's own feel ; and likewise the disney trilogy, well the 2nd movie i walked out of and i never went to go see a movie again, they def didn't capture the feeling), and after all of these years with these amazing jaw dropping animations, with the voice work, the settings, the music, those voices! i mean the dialogue, everything - it FEELS like the old star wars i grew up loving. it's such a trip! it's simple and fantastic storytelling, and i'm having a blast just watching these!

    I came from Eckhartsladder's video on this series. Please don't be dissuaded from the lack of views. These chapters have been amazing to watch, and I would love to see the rest of the book done, and the Thrawn trilogy as a whole if at all possible. While it's hard to completely erase the Sequel Trilogy from memory, having an animated adaptation of Heir to the Empire is as close as it gets. I haven't read the Thrawn trilogy myself (something I plan on doing eventually) so this has been really fun to watch, and it's great to see something that really feels like Star Wars. Keep up the great work.

And as a really avid fan of the Thrawn Trilogy and the X-Wing Series since high school (as well as the NJO Series, Darth Bane Trilogy and Legacy of the Force Series when they came out), I can feel the spirit of Star Wars in these works, along with the genuine passion and love for it given by @DarthAngelus.
