The seven Expanded Universe novels that predated it ( “Splinter of the Mind’s Eye” and the “Han Solo” and “Lando Calrissian Adventures”) focused on one character or small group, and tiny new corners of the galaxy “Heir” blew things up with its epicness spanning a dozen planets - old and new - and a dozen major characters - both the classics, with Zahn absolutely nailing their voices (especially Han’s), and soon-to-be favorites.
Timothy Zahn’s “Heir” (1991) - released a mere eight years after “Return of the Jedi,” although those were a long eight years when I was a kid - expands exponentially on what had come before. I wrote about my memories surrounding the book last year, so for this post I’ll dig more into my impressions from re-reading it. I was able to find last year’s 20th anniversary edition of “Heir to the Empire” for about six bucks, so it gave me a perfect excuse to re-read it.
