The first Star Wars “new continuity” title set after “Return of the
Jedi” is something of a mixed bag. There is a fun story featuring some
new characters that gives us a feel for the universe after the Battle of
Endor. Fan favorite and classic Star Wars characters only show up as
cameos or background characters. The main story is interrupted by a
variety of interludes that seem like they are setting up for future
stories. If one accepts Aftermath for what it is, a set-up for future
Star Wars novels, it is a fun read. Others may likely feel unsatisfied
with
Aftermath on its own.
