The Mandalorian • Primer: Grand Admiral Thrawn

Do you want to know who this Grand Admiral Thrawn is, that so many folks went nuts about when Ashoka said his name? Are you a Thrawn fan but want to know more about him, or about theories of what role he might play in live action stories going forward? Riki and Matthew dive deep into a discussion of our favorite blue skinned military genius.

With Mandalorian introducing so much content from The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels and other sources, we want to offer a primer for those who haven’t seen, or may not remember, all those details. These episodes will get you up to speed, and offer theories about where things may go in the future. Say tuned for follow up primers on Ashoka Tano, Bo Katan and the history of the Mandalorians, and anything else that seems relevant!

Let's talk Star Wars! Join the Ethical Panda Matthew Fox for an ongoing conversation about the wealth of Star Wars movies and TV shows, both the old and the new. We'll explore TV shows like The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars. We'll cover every movie, and we may even dive into the vast catalog of books, video games, and other media. Who needs a canon when you’ve got interesting stories?

During the strike we are focusing on books, fan content and other star wars stories not directly connected to struck media.
