Nineteen books, beginning with 1999’s Vector Prime and concluding with 2003’s The Unifying Force chronicled the period between 25 and 29 A.B.Y. However, in 1999 (the same year The Phantom Menace hit theaters), Lucasfilm decided to dramatically change up its plans for the post- Return of the Jedi era with the launch of the highly ambitious The New Jedi Order series. Most of these novels focused on the remaining Imperial threats left in the wake of Emperor Palpatine’s (presumed) death, with the Imperial Remnant officially surrendering to the New Republic in 1998’s Vision of the Future.
