Star Wars: Aftermath: Life Debt is a Star Wars novel by Chuck Wendig, published on July 12, 2016 by Del Rey Books. Set after the events of the 1983 film Return of the Jedi, Life Debt is the second of a planned trilogy that will explore the time period between that film and 2015's The Force Awakens.
The Aftermath series features the characters Wedge Antilles, an X-wing fighter pilot from the original Star Wars film trilogy, and Imperial Admiral Rae Sloane, introduced as a captain in John Jackson Miller's 2014 novel A New Dawn. Wendig also introduces several new characters, including ex-Rebel Alliance pilot Norra Wexley, her teenage son Temmin "Snap" Wexley, Temmin's rebuilt B1 battle droid Mister Bones, the Zabrak bounty hunter Jas Emari, and the Imperial turncoat Sinjir Rath Velus, one of the first gay characters in Star Wars canon.
Life Debt is the sequel to the 2015 novel Star Wars: Aftermath. The third and final book in the series, Aftermath: Empire's End, was published in 2017.
