(Kirsty is taking a break of a few weeks from the podcast, and in her absence Rachael will be joined by a series of special guests - in this episode, Rachael is joined by friend-of-the-show Melissa! Melissa has previously joined the show for spotlights on General Hux, but this time she comes on to share her expertise on another fan-favourite character - Thrawn!)
In this episode, Rachael and Melissa discuss the following news:
- The Rise of Skywalker receives the spotlight at D23 (unfortunately this episode was recorded just before the footage was revealed, so we don’t go into detail about that here - check out episode #114 for that!)
- The Mandalorian is showcased at D23
- Obi-Wan series officially announced at D23
- Star Wars: Resistance season 2 trailer revealed, and end of series announced
- Poe and Hux Marvel comics previewed
With the news all covered, we move into a beginner’s guide to Thrawn! Melissa draws upon her extensive reserves of Thrawn knowledge to answer Rachael’s burning questions, including but not limited to:
- Why is Thrawn blue?
- What are the differences between canon Thrawn and Legends Thrawn?
- What five books should a burgeoning Thrawn fan look out for?
Many thanks to Christy Carew for the Scavenger's Hoard theme, and Nemling for our artwork.
