![]() I never read the trilogy at the time, but Thrawn was one of those characters that stuck in my memory without actually ever having read the books. I thought at the time he looks pretty cool while Austin touted him as a tactical genius in his own trilogy that many considered a trilogy of sorts to the original Star Wars trilogy. He corrected me, pointing out the blue man to the side. ![]() He showed me Heir to the Empire and I assumed Thrawn was the old wizard-looking man on the cover. He introduced me to his vast library of books and miniatures of different ships (the Sun Crusher blew my mind at the time), and to a particular villain named Thrawn. It wasn’t until high school when I became friends with The Outer Rim News Podcast co-host Austin Gordy, that I found out just how little I knew about the Star Wars universe. Throughout middle school, after The Phantom Menace was released, I jumped through a few more books, particularly the Young Jedi Knights series and Shadows of the Empire. ![]() My first foray into the Star Wars novels was The Truce at Bakura, and I don’t have a great recall of the story other than it took place immediately after Return of the Jedi. Ever since the first movie, authors have been adding their own chapters to the ever-growing universe of Star Wars. That’s not to pass judgment on the prequels, but before them there was a lot of the mythos still locked away in George Lucas’ mind. ![]() I grew up experiencing two different eras in Star Wars: before the prequels and after the prequels. ![]()
