Hello there !

I don't even remember how I found this, but I recently learnt that there was an "alternate" sequel trilogy:

  • Episode VII: Heir to the Empire (1993)
  • Episode VIII: Dark Force Rising (1995)
  • Episode IX: The Last Command (1997)

I don't seem to be able to find any copy (in any format).

How is this a secret so well kept ? But more importantly: how can I put a hand on this ?!

The movies are not real, it's something some random person made up. You'll see this sort of thing pop up on wikis occasionally. If you click the link for the page on the first movie in the trilogy, it's both a "fan film" (which sort of exists: https://youtube.com/watch?v=CC9fYUDQ6CM ) and directed by James Cameron. It also says it features a 9 year old Scarlett Johansson playing an adult.

The book version is real though: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_The_Thrawn_Trilogy

Because they don't exist (as films).

But more importantly: how can I put a hand on this ?!

Head to a book store?
