Star Wars Aftermath Novels To Fill In Blanks Between 'Return Of The Jedi' And 'The Force Awakens'

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a group of rebels triumphed over the corrupt, evil Empire and the whole galaxy rejoiced in celebration. Thirty years ago, the original Star Wars trilogy hit theatres and became part of movie history.

The expanded universe of Star Wars comic books and novels, created in the years to follow, told the stories of the characters directly after the events in Return of the Jedi. (Spoilers ahead for those who don't follow the novels) Luke Skywalker got married to the red-headed Emperor's Hand, Mara Jade. Han Solo and Leia had force-sensitive twins. And Chewbacca -- nooo!! -- died.
