The Legacy of the Force is a series of nine science fiction novels, published from 2006 to 2008, set in the Star Wars expanded universe. The series takes place approximately 40 years after the events of the film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The series picks up around 11 years after the events of the New Jedi Order saga.^[1] Published by American imprint Del Rey Books, the series was written by Troy Denning, Aaron Allston and Karen Traviss in an alternating cycle.

The series contains a mix of hardcover and paperback releases. The plan was to allow each author to write one hardcover novel and two paperbacks, with the first, middle (fifth), and final (ninth) novels being the hardcover releases, and the other novels being in paperback.^[2] An abridged audio book version of each story was released concurrently with each book, narrated by Marc Thompson.
