Star Wars Universe 211 Lobby Card

Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy • Thrawn: Alliances

So, Darth Vader and Admiral Thrawn walk into a bar. No wait, Thrawn and Anakin Skywalker walk into a bar. Those aren’t the starts of jokes – they both literally happen in Thrawn: Alliances, book two of the Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn kicked off by Thrawn, and Danielle is back to talk about it with me.

Danielle is a PhD researcher who spends too much time thinking about Star Wars and The Last of Us and the rest of her time working through a towering TBR pile. You can find her on TikTok at writteninthestarwars, Twitter at danies394, and Instagram at writteninthesw, and her writings on The Bad Batch and other topics at Temple of Geek.

Each of us came into Star Wars in our own way, at our own time, and there is so much we can learn from each other when those differences fuel conversation, not conflict. Join Erin, Matthew, and Alex as we share our love for the galaxy far, far away on the Star Wars Generations Podcast!
