On Chandrila, Queen of the Core Network journalist Tracene Kane and Trandoshan cameraman Lug interview the New Republic PR representative, Pantoran Olia Choko.

New Characters: Tracene Kane, Lug, Olia Choko, Camerand Argell, and Geeska Dotalo Summary : Pade does not appear again in The Aftermath Trilogy and has not appeared in canon in anything else.įamiliar Characters: Mon Mothma (mentioned) “Uyter” shows a situation that one would never think about: What would you do with a bunch of young cadets on their way to Imperial Academies if there was no more Empire? And it is an answer to where the bulk of the New Republic forces might come from and the exploitation of orphans and kids by armies (which is a significant plot point throughout the trilogy). Having been abandoned by his parents and having no other place to go, Pade started his journey to the New Academy on Chandrila. New Republic soldiers stop Pade’s recruited group on the way, informing them that the Imperial Academy is closed. The story follows an intended Imperial cadet, Pade, on his way to the Imperial Academy on Uyter. Starting with Aftermath, let’s take a closer look at these Interludes.Īn Imperial Academy depicted in Star Wars: Rebels | credit Lucasfilm ltd. These Interludes have been given a second life in the past few years as one of the characters introduced has made his way into live-action and become quite popular.Īnd they each add something more to canon, although some add more than others. These breaks in between the main story sometimes involve major characters but most often are separate stories told of people dealing with the “aftermath” of a fallen Empire. However, The Aftermath Trilogy is also known for its incorporation of Interludes. The novel introduced Norra Wexeley and further developed the character of Rae Sloane, both of whom I do breakdowns of their journey through the trilogy.

The New Republic (formerly the Rebel Alliance) is trying to squelch the remaining factions of the Empire while the Imperial leadership scrambles for control of what’s left. Aftermath takes place shortly after the destruction of the second Death Star. The first novel, Aftermath, was a part of the Disney Publishing initiative leading up to the release of The Force Awakens and continued into 2017 with the final book, Empire’s End.Īftermath released on September 4, 2015, and received mixed reviews but solid sales as Star Wars fans readied themselves for the first Star Wars live-action film in seven years. Last year, I reread The Aftermath Trilogy by Chuck Wendig.
