The Thrawn trilogy marked a revival in the fortunes of the Star Wars franchise, bringing it widespread attention for the first time in years; all three Thrawn trilogy novels made The New York Times Best Seller list,[4] and set the stage and tone for most of the franchise's expanded universe content.[4] Zahn also wrote the young adult Dragonback series and the popular Conquerors' trilogy.
In 2014 Zahn collaborated with David Weber on the Manticore Ascendant series set within the Honorverse.
In 2023, Dave Filoni confirmed during the Star Wars Celebration Europe that Zahn served as a creative consultant for the upcoming Disney+ miniseries Ahsoka in order to assist the creative team in writing Thrawn correctly, as Filoni felt that only Zahn could advise them with the "right" way to adapt Thrawn as the character's creator.[5][6]
