Timothy Zahn releases his fourth annotation for the 20th anniversary re-release of Heir to the Empire.
“One of the subtle tricks George used in the Star Wars movies was to show us only a few different planets, but to then use throwaway mentions of others along the way, thus giving us a feel for a much larger galaxy than we were actually seeing. I wanted to continue that technique by throwing in short visits to lots of different worlds such as Bimmisaar.” – Timothy Zahn
A very astute observation, especially in relation to the original trilogy. Stay tuned for the next ten annnotations that are scheduled to follow. Check out Del Rey‘s information regarding this landmark release.
