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: Star Wars: Thrawn (Wookieepedia) Star Wars: Thrawn (Wikipedia) Star Wars: Thrawn (Del Rey) Tiara’s Stuff: Tiara’s Twitter The BiblioSanctum Kate’s Stuff: Kate’s Website Kate’s Twitter Alex’s Stuff: Alex’s Website Alex’s Twitter Shaun’s Stuff: Shaun’s Twitter Shaun’s Website Our NEXT book (get it NOW to read along with us!): The New Rebellion by Kristine Kathryn Rusch (Legends) If you have iTunes and like this show, please give us a review on our iTunes page.
