The Star Wars Legends novel, The Last Command, was written by author Timothy Zahn and it is the concluding novel in his famous original “Thrawn Trilogy” written in the 1990s. The trilogy of novels helped launch the massively successful post-Return of the Jedi expanded universe of novels (now referred to as “Legends”).
The 4-pack collection includes Joruus C’Baoth, a mad clone of a former Jedi Master (the original character is featured in another Zahn novel, Outbound Flight), and Mara Jade, the former “Hand” of Emperor Palpatine-turned-smuggler-turned reluctant ally of Luke Skywalker, who had been tasked by Palpatine with hunting down and killing Luke Skywalker before Palpatine’s untimely death at Endor. The collection also includes Luke Skywalker and Luke’s cloned doppelganger, “Luke” who is ultimately killed by Mara instead of Luke, thus fulfilling Palpatine’s “last command.”

Although his figure is not included in this collection, The Thrawn Trilogy introduced the character of Grand Admiral Thrawn as a surviving Imperial Warlord bent on destroying the New Republic a few years after the fall of the Empire. Thrawn became such a popular character that he was reintroduced in Canon in recent years. The site of the final confrontation in the novel with C’Boath and his Luke clone, a cloning facility known as Mount Tantiss, was also recently reintroduced into Canon as well in the animated series, The Bad Batch.
