The New Republic series of Star Wars Legends Epic Collections comes to a close, featuring some of the final Legends appearances of many classic Star Wars heroes!

The end of the New Republic era! Twenty-five years after the events of A New Hope, Luke Skywalker and the galaxy must face the greatest threat since the Sith were defeated: the Yuuzhan Vong! Swarming across scores of worlds, these hostile invaders from another galaxy spread the New Republic’s forces thin and challenge even Luke’s New Jedi Order — which now includes Han Solo and Leia Organa Solo’s children! In the face of this massive and horrifying threat, battle lines are drawn and alliances new and old are forged — but remnants of the Empire still lurk in the shadows with plans of their own. Can the New Republic survive?
