#06. Star Wars: Thrawn – Thrawn and On and On (A Star Wars Literary Podcast)

Prep your survival manual and press those imperial officer uniforms! Shaun, Alex, and special guest, Tiara W., cast reddish eyes at the new canon to discuss Timothy Zahn’s return to the universe in Star Wars: Thrawn. Our intrepid crew talks about this new incarnation of the only member of the Blue Man Group that matters, with some attention to how his character differs from the Legends universe and just what it means to be in Thrawn’s good graces. Plus there’s a lot of conversation about imperial politics and the infamous Grand Moffs, Zahn’s exploration of the imperial navy, and even some love…err…hate for the wrinkly grumpster himself: Emperor Palpatine.

We hope you enjoy the episode!Show Notes:

Rebels is considered to be part of the new canon. Events from Knights of the Old Republic have been mentioned in Rebels so it should also be considered canon. If ask Candeous Ordo, on the first game, to tell you war stories one of the stories je tells is about finding a ship that appears to be entirely organic. It isn’t actually stated but it’s obvious it’s supposed to be Yuuzhan Vong. This means the Vong are part of canon.
