Thrawnderdome

Daniel gets the episode number wrong right at the top (it's episode seven!), Ronnie is disgusted by the term "pleasure yacht," Han Solo cracks the case by learning Grand Admiral Thrawn's name halfway through the second book, and Ronnie admits he is merely the GUEST co-host of Thrawnderdome.

I sing, O Muse, of the rage of... Bel Iblis?

That's right, Thrawnderinos, we finally meet the legendary titan no one has heard of! Daniel eats crow as his predictions about The Commander turn to ashes in his mouth, Niles Ferrier gets an assignment and an "unbreakable doomsday weapon" strapped to him, and the fellows liken Facebook to the staid and uptight world of key parties.

And so it resumes...

Thwarted thrillingly, Thrawn thrums with thurmoil! Yes we are cracking open the second entry in the vaunted Thrawn Trilogy, Dark Force Rising.

What happened to all our old favorites in the aftermath of the Sluis Van raid? What sort of distinctively smelling starship thieves will they meet? Is this Mr. Hyde's world and Dr. Jekyll is just living in it?

All these questions AND MORE will be answered as Daniel and Ronnie begin the experience that is Dark Force Rising.

Extry, extry, read all about it!

It's the hottest news out of Tinseltown, or should we say Thrawnseltown?

Daniel and Ronnie smashed that record button in a sweaty panic to get their thoughts on tape on the news that Grand Admiral Thrawn will be appearing in a live action Star Wars streaming series. They know next to nothing about the show, where it fits in the continuity, or who the driving creatives forces are behind it, but that's never stopped them from having the world's only correct opinions!

We are back for season two of Thrawnderdome!

Per longstanding tradition we just decided on, we open the season with a relaxed chat episode featuring the encyclopedic Thrawn knowledge of Megan Sunday from the magisterial Dune podcast Let's Get Weirding!

How has Thrawn appeared in non Zahn material? Which iterations most struck a chord? Does Timothy Zahn get royalties?

All these and yet more burning questions WILL be answered on Thrawnderdome's triumphant return.
