[Original Story]:On September 6, Del Rey and LucasBooks will release a special 20th anniversary edition of Timothy Zahn's incredible Star Wars: Heir to the Empire. This new edition features annotations from Zahn and a new novella focusing on Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Almost every editor in the Game Informer office has read this book, and all conversations about it beginning with the phrase: "This is the trilogy George Lucas should have filmed instead of Episodes I-III."
To see what all the praise is about, you can read the second chapter for yourself below. Leave a comment with your impressions, and on Friday (August 26), we'll pick three lucky winners to receive a free copy of the book.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
