Star Wars Legends kept the flame alive during the dark times. After Return Of The Jedi, Star Wars fans didn't get much new content, but Star Wars: Heir To The Empire, by author Timothy Zahn, changed all of that. Sure, the Marvel comic had been published into the mid-'80s, but Heir To The Empire would begin a new publishing initiative that would continue the adventures of Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, Lando, and everyone's favorites. They would be joined by many heroes and villains over the years.
