Fifteen years after the fall of the Galactic Empire, Leia Organa has passed away, while her brother Luke Skywalker trains a new generation of young Jedi, including his son Ben, niece Jaina and nephew Jacen, the children of Leia and Han Solo, in the hopes of creating a new Jedi Order in Leia's honor. In the shadows, darkness lurks. An underworld of offshoot Stormtroopers spread out across multiple planets in the Galaxy alarms Luke, who gathers forces to prevent a potential conflict, but upon realizing that the troops are part of a new army working under Grand Admiral Thrawn, a former Imperial leader, and his master, the mysterious Darth Talon, an increasingly desperate Luke Skywalker, along with Han Solo, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO, and R2-D2 race against time to seek out Ahsoka Tano, the only Jedi that can help them defeat Thrawn. When the heroes think they have won, Darth Talon delivers a crushing blow by turning Jacen Solo to the dark side and setting in motion the rise of a new Galactic Empire.
