This week we continue our long-delayed discussion of THRAWN ASCENDANCY: CHAOS RISING. We talk about the politics of the Chiss Ascendancy, why Thurfian and Zistalmu hate Thrawn so much, and whether Thrawn and Ar’alani should bone.

The organization we’re highlighting for this group of episodes is the Texas Equal Access Fund. If you have the means to donate, you can do so here.
