Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great book for all Star Wars fans to read
Review: This book was a great end to the trilogy. Any fan of Star Wars books should read this book. Timothy Zahn needs to keep writing Star Wars books; he is a great author. You MUST read this book and the two which come before it because they will keep you on your feet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: This was a gripping, nonstop book. Once it gets you hooked, it won't leave you. I began reading the book thinking "oh, this is boring," then 5 days later I couldn't keep my mind off it. Any Star Wars fan will love this book. I mean it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Finale of a Great Trilogy!
Review: This was a great Finale. I could put it down! I started the the first book slowly, but once I figured out which ships were good and which were bad, I read two and one-half books in less than two weeks! A lot of the names I can't pronounce (like Kashyyyk, or Khabarakh clan Kihm'bar) but the story was very interesting with all the plot twists and Thrawn predicting strategy. I would recommend the book to anybody who had seen "A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved it
Review: I thought this book was great and any Starwars fan should like it unless they're stupid

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: coruscant
Review: After reading ''Dark Force Rising'', I had to get this book. Very slowmoving. A few good parts(Leia gives birth, Bel Iblis) but not much there.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An enrapturing tour de force
Review: Its interesting to note that so many readers enjoyed seeing Luke (a fully fledged Jedi Knight) come across as a bit of a wuss compared to the towering Mara Jade who more or less ends up saving the day. So why then do people want the pair to get together? Surely the illustrious Jade would be far better off with someone with more balls and charisma; someone like Lando Calrissian! Just kidding folks. Do enjoy, what in my opinion (for what it's worth), is a magnum opus.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great ending to the Thrawn Trilogy!
Review: Zahn saved the best for last with his final book of the Thrawn trilogy. This book was great, I read the last 180+ pages in one day because I was hooked! I rated the first two books 4 out of 5 but this one is definitely a 5.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT, Of of those 'Stay-Up-Till-3-in-the-morning-reading-it
Review: It's really good. I suggest anyone really interested in Star Wars should read this. If you're not interested don't read it, because then all you'lee be able to do is write a review to Amazon.com and say that it sucked, but not you really like Star Wars anyway. That's just stupid!

READ THE BOOK, IT ROCKS!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the series that revived the Star Wars empire [no spoilers]
Review: "The Last Command" is the third and final novel in The Thrawn Trilogy approximately five years following "Return of the Jedi". The originality and creativity in the series is deep, filled with strange creatures and compelling heroes and villains.

Grand Admiral Thrawn is an ingenious, calculating and efficient villain, someone the New Republic should fear. The creative ways he uses items at his disposal are amazing. Although he is with the Empire, his charisma and composure has me cheering to succeed whenever engaged in combat. Conversely, the spontaneous ravings of insane Jedi Master Joruus C'baoth form a scary image compared with the serene Emperor. Smuggler Talon Karrde reminds me of a pre-Rebellion Han Solo but with a Jabba the Hutt sphere of influence. While Star Wars hasn't been overly political, politics play a minor part in the developments and brings more depth to an otherwise action oriented plot.

Action fills the concluding novel, with surprises and well-timed heroics. I highly recommend this series above all others to any fan of the Star Wars universe.

Thank you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Zahn is brilliant, but I just didn't like that much.
Review: Timothy Zahn is one of my favorite writers, and this is the only Star Wars related material I've ever read. I really liked how he used the characters and made them seem like they were carrying on right after the old movies.

But the ending seemed kind of well, boring. If you haven't read it I'm not necessarily going to give it away but It was just anti-climatic. Also, why is Mara Jade learns and grows just as much in the force as Luke does in 4 days in the jungle as Luke does throughout his whole life. The clone thing at the end was kind of dumb, but overall it was a good book and a good triology. The only Star Wars material I'm ever going to read.
