David and Hannah celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary re-release of the original Star Wars in theaters, reflecting on the legacy of the 1977 classic and the ongoing debate between the original and special edition versions. They share personal stories of discovering Star Wars on VHS, discuss the significance of seeing the unaltered film on the big screen, and explore how George Lucas's technological innovations shaped the saga. The conversation then shifts to Star Wars Rebels, as they look back on the series' impact—from the introduction of key characters like Maul, Ahsoka, and Thrawn, to the ways Rebels has become essential viewing for understanding the wider Star Wars universe. With thoughtful insights and plenty of nostalgia, this episode is a tribute to the enduring magic of Star Wars and its ever-expanding legacy. For more Star Wars content visit insidetheforce.com.

Schneller, als Die Hand von Thrawn braucht, um die Legends-Version der Neuen Republik ans Ende der Caamas-Krise zu bringen, ist unser dreimonatiger Hand-Herbst heute schon wieder vorbei. Wie ist der Weg dahin? Geht es für das bunte Figurenkabinett rund um Luke Skywalker, Mara Jade, Leia Organa Solo, Admiral Pellaeon, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, Talon Karrde, Shada D'ukal, Jori/Jorj Car'das, Wedge Antilles, Corran Horn, Moranda, Navett, Tierce, Moff Disra, Flim,.... Wie sollte dieser Satz noch gleich enden? Vor lauter Figurenaufzählung weiß man nicht mehr, wo das noch hinführen sollte. Ob Timothy Zahns Thrawn-Saga im großen Finale Der Zorn des Admirals besser landet, als diese Einleitung? Theo, Carl Georg und Interim-Moderator Lukas gehen dem auf die Spur und suchen Nirauan, Exocron, Bothawui und Yaga Minor nach den Antworten ab.

September 1998 unter dem Titel Vision of the Future bei Bantam Spectra auf Englisch. Die deutsche Erstveröffentlichung der zweiten Hälfte des Romans folgte im November 2000 bei Heyne. Im September 2025 beendete Blanvalet mit dem dritten Band die aktuelle und neu gestaltete Legends-Neuauflage. Die Rezensionen Julian verlieh der kompletten Trilogie in einer gemeinsamen Rezension zwar ganze vier von fünf Holocrons, war vom "viel zu abrupt(en)" Ende aber enttäuscht und hatte das Gefühl, "es würde noch ein Buch fehlen." Ähnliches kritisierte Lukas in seiner neuen Rezension der Neuauflage. Darum und wegen zu vieler konstruierte oder ins nichts führende Ereignisse vergibt er in der Wertung ein Holocron weniger. Aufgepasst: Am Ende der Rezension könnt ihr noch bis zum 22. November eines von fünf Exemplaren des Romans gewinnen! Den JediCast abonnieren Wir sind auf allen gängigen Podcast-Plattformen vertreten!

Rotta the Hutt returns? Grogu fights a giant lizard? The trailer for The Mandalorian & Grogu sparks wild theories about Thrawn's rise, Zeb's role, and a possible heist. Jeff Haecker, Thomas Salerno & Patrick Mason break it all down. The post Mandalorian & Grogu Trailer Breakdown: Wild Predictions & Hidden Clues appeared first on StarQuest Media.

Today we discuss Retreat from Coruscant, the next short story in Tales from the Empire. Taryn Clancy delivers mail throughout the Core Systems. She's on Coruscant making a routine delivery when the unthinkable happens. The New Republic's capital comes under attack by Imperial forces. She, and the New Republic, quickly flee the planet. This story helps bridge the gap between the original Thrawn trilogy and Dark Empire.

In the first episode of Season 23 of Star Wars: In a Galaxy, Eli and Jacob, discuss the first and second episodes of Season 3 of Star Wars: Rebels, "Steps into Shadow" and "The Holocrons of Fate".Among their discussion:– Ezra is making some... bad decisions.– The return of Hondo Ohnaka!– Governor Pryce enters the scene.– THE BENDU, THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE.– "I will start my operations here and pull the Rebels apart, piece by piece. They will be the architects of their own destruction." – Grand Admiral freaking Thrawn, 2 BBY.– The linguistic differences of Ugnaughts.– The destruction of the Phantom.– Darth Maul just trolling.– Holocron lore.– "Perhaps master and apprentice will rediscover their balance.

Während die Blätter bunter werden und der Herbst um sich greift, stellt sich die Frage, was mehr Schrecken verursacht – das nahende Halloween oder die Aufteilung eines Star Wars-Romans in zwei Bücher für die deutsche Übersetzung? Immerhin liegen zwei Taschenbücher in angenehmen Umfang leichter in der Hand, wenn Theo, Carl Georg und Lukas für euch nach zahlreichen Handlungssträngen und endlosen Kapiteln der Frage auf den Grund gehen, ob Timothy Zahn bei so vielen Seiten noch Zahn ist oder schon zäh. Blick in die Zukunft ist der zweite Band der Die Hand von Thrawn-Trilogie und damit auch das Objekt der Besprechung des zweiten Teils unseres Hand-Herbstes. Folgt uns in Höhlensysteme mit speziell kommunizierenden Bewohnern, auf Felder schnell unterbrochener Urlaube, Undercover-Einsätze im größten Brennpunkt der Neuen Republik, Audienzen bei zwielichtigen Gangsterbossen und auf die Führungsebene des Imperiums samt wachsender interner Spannungen. Viel Spaß mit dem Anfang vom Ende.

September 1998 unter dem Titel Vision of the Future bei Bantam Spectra auf Englisch. Die deutsche Erstveröffentlichung der ersten Hälfte des Romans folgte im August 2000 bei Heyne. Im Juli 2025 erschien bei Blanvalet der zweite Band als moderne Neuauflage mit verändertem Cover und Legends-Banner. Die Rezensionen Julian gefiel 2015 in seiner Rezension für die komplette Reihe besonders, wie Timothy Zahn die Werke jener Ära durch Verknüpfungen und kleine Erwähnung zu einem einheitlichen Bild verschmilzen lässt. Das merkt auch Lukas in seiner Rezension der Neuauflage von 2025 positiv an. Im Gegensatz zum ersten Band gewinnt für ihn die Geschichte durch einen stärkeren Fokus auf die Charaktere im Vergleich zum ersten Band einiges dazu. Übrigens: Unter der Rezension könnt ihr das Buch in der Neuausgabe noch bis zum 26. Oktober gewinnen! Den JediCast abonnieren Wir sind auf allen gängigen Podcast-Plattformen vertreten!

Fan favorite writer Timothy Zahn is a Star Wars legend! As the author of the original Thrawn trilogy in the early 90s (and numerous subsequent Star Wars novels), Zahn helped keep the Star Wars flame lit during the franchise's post-Return of the Jedi slumber. And at GalaxyCon San Jose, I had the honor of moderating the Spotlight on Timothy Zahn panel, where he shared stories about the creation of Grand Admiral Thrawn and other characters, how he first got the chance to write for Star Wars, what he thinks of his Extended Universe novels becoming Star Wars Legends, and much, much more! And now you get a chance to hear the conversation for yourself! Enjoy!

In “Tales of the Empire: Morgan's Tale,” we wind through the paths of fear, anger, and finally hatred to tell a tale of witches, genocide, ambition, and revenge. But we definitely haven't reached the end of the path yet, because Moran Elsbeth's great destiny is still definitely a mystery???We thread our discussion of “The Path of Fear,” “The Path of Anger,” and “The Path of Hate” with analysis of the anti-hero's journey, Morgan's motivations to join the Empire, and Thrawn's desire to see order created out of chaos. We also shake our fist at Star Wars for always killing off their witches, and sing our praises for the baddest Grand Admiral of them all.New to Growing Up Skywalker?

Ahsoka. Thrawn. Bo-Katan. Ezra. Cad Bane. Today on This is the Wayseekers, we're ranking every Star Wars character who made the jump from animation to live-action... the good, the bad, and the ones we wish had stayed animated. From The Clone Wars to The Mandalorian and Ahsoka, we're diving into the most controversial adaptations in the galaxy.

Things heat up as the hunt for Luke and Mara intensifies and trust grows thin. Luke walks a razor's edge between ally and enemy while Thrawn's influence spreads like a shadow over every move. Political schemes, deadly ambushes, and subtle betrayals keep this episode ticking fast. Our heroes find themselves trapped in the Empire's tightening grip—but they're not out yet!

Indiana Jones' further adventures may have stopped (for now), but Brian and Sam are still at it! And they've brought along a Star Friend from A Long Time Ago, Kregg Castillo, to dive into a Thrawn storyline published over a year and a half ago! In addition to our bafflement regarding the insane way Marvel has chosen to present this storyline, Sam is also having his R5-D4 dreams crushed, Brian is reminiscing on his recent travels abroad, and the whole gang is finally taking a trip to the Underworld. 

It's all sleight of hand in this episode as Thrawn shows why he's the chess master of galactic warfare. Watch him outthink everyone (again) while Leia and Chewbacca head for Kashyyyk, where Wookiee fury might be the only protection left. Thrawn's deduction skills are terrifying and brilliant as he peels back every layer of Solo's plans. This bonus chapter is a masterclass in cat-and-mouse tactics, with extra snark from your favorite scoundrels.

Bonus episode 4 cranks up the action and the mystery! Han and Leia dodge Imperial plots while eerie signs point to a rising new threat—a name whispers across the galaxy: Joruus C'baoth. Who? Exactly! Things get tense as Leia's Force senses tingle with warning, Thrawn tightens his trap, and Wedge Antilles gets caught in the blaster fire. The stakes? Oh, just the future of the New Republic. Join us as we explore intrigue, blaster battles, and Force chills!We hope you enjoy today's show.

In this episode, diplomacy gets dicey as Leia juggles political duties and Force training while Han grumbles about everything (classic Han). Meanwhile, Luke faces his own demons—literally—with the memory of Obi-Wan Kenobi fading from his life. Back on Thrawn's side of the galaxy, things heat up with tests of loyalty, shady experiments, and a terrifying glimpse into the dark side's new playbook. It's all happening fast, with plots inside plots... and yes, some delightful sarcasm along the way.We hope you enjoy today's show.

Our second bonus episode drops us right into Thrawn's next cunning move—this time on a mysterious planet called Wayland. While Pellaeon questions everything (and smells something weird, literally!), Thrawn plays his long game, hinting at Dark Jedi and dangerous allies. Oh, and ysalamiri are officially a thing now—Force-blocking salamanders, anyone? Expect a wild mix of suspense, sarcastic quips, and the Empire's creepy plan to reclaim lost glory.We hope you enjoy today's show.

Step into the shadowy remnants of the Empire! In this kickoff bonus episode, we meet Grand Admiral Thrawn, the blue-skinned mastermind determined to restore Imperial dominance. While New Republic heroes think they've won, Thrawn is calmly plotting their downfall with brilliant tactics and a few terrifying secrets.

We might be late but are here for our annual Star Wars conversation. Thrawn, Tales of the Underworld, Fortnite, and more. I am joined by my ver special guest for a great nerd out show.

One of the most dangerous threats from Star Wars' Legends has had an interesting history after his initial introduction in Timothy Zahn's trilogy/. From the page to animation to live action, the Chiss known as Grand Admiral Member-Berries... errr... THRAWN has had a lasting impact on fans young and old.Join the WOTS crew as we dive into our Character Counts discussion focused on the only Imperial commander to ever say no to both Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader and walk away unscathed..

Star Wars and Superhero Ethics Crossover Episode: Andor Season 2While I try to keep the Star Wars Generations and Superhero Ethics podcasts separate, with Andor hitting so many of the themes we talk about on Superhero Ethics, I wanted to share our first episode about Andor Season 2 with you all.The hosts of Star Wars Generations dive deep into the first three episodes of Andor Season 2, which premiered with a triple-episode release. Matthew, Erin, and Alex explore how the show immediately establishes its political commentary and continues its unflinching portrayal of life under the Empire's fascist regime.What makes Andor Season 2 so politically charged?Within the first five minutes, the show tackles current political issues through its storytelling. The hosts discuss how the plot involving undocumented workers (referred to explicitly as not having "visas") on a farming planet directly parallels real-world immigration issues. The Empire's plan to exploit the planet Ghorman for resources regardless of environmental or human cost also serves as commentary on resource exploitation and colonialism.How does the show portray different facets of the Empire?The podcast hosts examine how the show depicts various characters within the Imperial system. From Dedra and Syril's domestic life to the cold Imperial board meetings with Krennic, the series demonstrates how ordinary people participate in and enable fascist regimes. The stark contrast between the comfortable lives of Imperial officers and the struggling rebels highlights the inequality within the Star Wars universe.What connections to the wider Star Wars universe appear in these episodes?The hosts identify several connections to the animated series Rebels, including Cassian stealing what appears to be a TIE Interceptor (a project championed by Grand Admiral Thrawn) and the mention of Ghorman (which Mon Mothma later condemns the Empire for abusing in Rebels). They theorize these connections may lead to appearances from characters like Thrawn or depict events referenced in other Star Wars media.Other topics discussed:The controversial scene involving attempted sexual assault against Bix and its portrayal of power abuse within the EmpireMon Mothma's storyline involving Chandrilan wedding traditions and her strained family relationshipsBrasso's death and the ambiguity around whether Andor was responsibleThe portrayal of squabbling rebel factions on Yavin 4 and what it says about resistance movementsThe parallels between the lavish Chandrilan wedding ceremony and the violence occurring simultaneously on other planetsDedra and Syril's domestic relationship and interactions with his motherThe Imperial strategy meeting discussing how to create justifications for destroying GhormanThe hosts conclude that while some storylines (particularly the Yavin 4 sequence) felt somewhat drawn out, the overall quality of the show remains exceptional. They express excitement about where the season is heading and how it will connect to the events of Rogue One, noting that these early episodes have already paid off some of their predictions while setting up compelling new storylines. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

We jump back in time and discuss Outboud Flight. Jorus C'baoth is determined to get Outbound Flight off the ground, while Palpatine plans to destroy it and all the Jedi on board. In the Unknown Regions, Jorj Car'das comes into contact with an unknown species, the Chiss. The group he meets is led by a young commander named Thrawn. And for some reason, Obi-Wan and Anakin are in this book for the first two-thirds of it.

Star Wars Celebration Japan has come and gone and since there's no new Star Wars comics this week, we break down the key comics news that was made the semiannual event celebrating all thing Star Wars.One thing that was notable was convention-exclusive Star Wars: Beyond Victory #1 by Ethan Sacks, Steven Cummings, Will Sliney and Shogo Aoki, with a cover by Phil Noto. The one-shot was only available at the ILM/Meta booth at Star Wars Celebration in Japan. It serves as prequel story to the Meta Quest experience "Star Wars: Beyond Victory -- A Mixed Reality Playset." So far (as of April 23), four copies are on eBay, with one at $305. We don't have a copy -- it's unclear if it'll ever be released outside of SWCJ -- but when we get one, we'll offer up a review.One thing that drew our attention? Marvel editor in chief C.B.

When Marvel let their license to produce Star Wars comics lapse in 1986, Return of the Jedi was three years in the rear-view mirror and it seemed possible there would never be any further installments in the franchise. But Tom Veitch and Cam Kennedy's 1991 miniseries Dark Empire would begin Dark Horse Comics' 23-year run of Star Wars comics and help launch the Expanded Universe. Set six years after the Battle of Endor, Dark Empire sees Luke Skywalker tempted to the Dark Side by the newly revived Emperor, Han Solo and Leia Organa fleeing bounty hunters, and a new Imperial doomsday weapon threatening the galaxy. We'll look at the long and rocky development of the series, how involved (or not) Lucasfilm was in the story, and how it compares to its prose sister project, Timothy Zahn's Thrawn trilogy. This is the only podcast where you can hear two grown men arguing (politely) about Star Wars!Support the podcast at patreon.com/ironageofcomics

We are back and we have returned for more personal attacks! In this episode of Dark Side Divas we discuss the Star Wars Rebels episode "Heroes of Mandalore Part 2" (s4e2). Sabine realizes she did not stop the empire from using a weapon she invented on her own people. Thrawn is very skeptical, we think, and there's a lot of spectacular moments with the Mandalorians. Listen and find out why!

What makes a Star Wars battle truly unforgettable? Thomas Salerno, Patrick Mason, and Jeff Haecker unpack the most pivotal fights across canon and Legends, from Scarif to Umbara, Thrawn to Hoth, and the tactics that made them legendary. The post The Best Battles in Star Wars from Hoth to Scarif and Everything Between appeared first on StarQuest Media.

The Mandalorian introduced a new look and feel for Star Wars that revolutionized the franchise in a way the sequels failed to. The show brought in new and old characters to the modern era, but has it overstayed its welcome? Is the upcoming movie the end of the Mando hype? It's possible… The force isn't strong with this one… The Mando and Grogu Movie thoughts ahead of Star Wars celebration We're going to have a whole panel dedicated to Mando and Grogu movie at SWCJ Details on the history of this show Storyline, Ratta the hutt getting kidnapped by clone wars era bounty hunter that Mando will have to fight, which will ultimately lead to what Thrawn is scheming at Clone Wars the movie the sequel? ───────── JOIN OUR DISCORD! https://discord.gg/cdQgvgg3 ➤ Listen to our podcasts here: https://bit.ly/3gJIBg9 ➤ Twitter: https://twitter.com/StarWarsUplink ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/starwarsuplink/ Your place for everything Star Wars Gaming, the TV Shows, and Movies!

Rebels Season 3 comes to a close with a trio of episodes that demonstrates just how far the Star Wars Animation team has come as a group of visual storytellers. Twin Suns brings us to Tatooine as hostile and hopeless as its ever been seen for a final confrontation between two series standbys (and a totally fine Ezra arc about family and fate). Zero Hour gives us Thrawn at the height of victory and vulnerability. The stage is set for the final season... which we'll be bringing to you over the next two months in four episode chunks, so that we're ready to leap headfirst into Andor Season 2 when it debuts in late April!

In this episode of Dark Side Divas we discuss the Star Wars Rebels episode "Through Imperial Eyes" (s3e17). Agent Kallus is in danger of being discovered as a spy, so The Ghost Crew decides to pull of a heist. Meanwhile we see Thrawn exersize, and.um...we spend some time discussing that.

This week, we crack the spine on the final book of Timothy Zahn's franchise-extending Thrawn trilogy, and wow, what a doozy it is. The Dark Force is no longer Rising, it's risen, and that means the pedal is down and the plot is going full speed. Talon Karrde is meeting with smugglers. Luke bounces all across the galaxy. Lando's walking city is in ruins. Han and Leia's kids are here, and they have visitors, invited and otherwise? And Mara Jade? Well, she's wide awake and getting ready to do the things she does best: Pout and kill people. Support the show by going to Patreon.com/civilized!
