It was embroiled in controversy from the start, with the killing of Chewbacca at the end of the first novel. Originally intended to have twenty-five books, it ended up as a still-sprawling nineteen-book series over five years of both in-universe time and real time, composed mostly of hardcover one-shots and softcover miniseries, written by several authors. The New Jedi Order was the first novel series Del Rey Books produced once they acquired the license to produce Star Wars Legends novels from Lucasbooks after Bantam lost it. In their numbers, philosophy and ferocity, they promise to take a greater toll than the entire Galactic Civil War.
Fearless and fanatical, they crusade against the infidels and their machines and all of them, seemingly, don't exist in the Force. They're turned back, but then more come, and more, enough to conquer a galaxy, it seems. Then the Yuuzhan Vong come, at first on a small scale in the form of weird biological ships, carrying warriors that scar and tattoo and mutilate themselves, attack a few nothing worlds on the edge of known space. Han Solo and Leia Organa have been hitched for seventeen years, and have three teenaged children, all prodigies and strong in the Force. He also got married four years ago to a wonderful woman, also a Jedi and who happens to have once wanted to kill him. Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Order is still small, but growing-about a hundred all told. The Empire is reduced to a shadow of its former self, its surviving leaders much more reasonable (still authoritarian but not outright dictatorial), and a treaty exists between the Empire and the Republic.
The Rebellion has become the New Republic. New Jedi Order is a Star Wars Legends series set twenty-five years after Star Wars : Episode IV - A New Hope.
