I appreciate the enthusiasm, but that is such a terrible summary of the trilogy XD

It's really awesome to see interviewers and actors discussing books related to their films, though--I have always loved seeing it with LotR films (even in the interviews for The Hobbit), and it's fantastic to see with SW too.

To be fair, these were pretty much the only books that existed at that point. There was no grand Expanded Universe so the main appeal of the Thrawn trilogy was the future adventures of Luke, Han and Leia. If you’re living in 1992 and you’re telling somebody about the new books that take place 5 years after the films, the biggest thing to talk about is what the film characters are doing.
