Our view
“Aftermath” opens a Star Wars trilogy set just after “Return of the Jedi”, and it divides its readers. It follows a new cast, with the film heroes kept at the edges, which disappoints some who came for them. Some readers find it scattered until late on, and some dislike the prose and its strained similes; others finish it with their enthusiasm for the saga renewed. For fans curious about what came after the film.

About the book
Star Wars: Aftermath is a trilogy of Star Wars science fiction novels by American author Chuck Wendig. Set soon after the events of the 1983 film Return of the Jedi, the series explores the time period between that film and 2015's The Force Awakens. The trilogy began in 2015 with Aftermath, which was followed by the sequels Aftermath: Life Debt (2016) and Aftermath: Empire's End (2017). Aftermath is one of the projects in "Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens", a 2015 Star Wars publishing initiative to connect The Force Awakens with previous film installments.
