This week, we’re reading the last third of THRAWN: ALLIANCES by Timothy Zahn. In this Chiss-heavy episode, we’re discussing how the Chiss view the Force, Thrawn’s motivations for attempting to serve both the Empire and the Ascendancy, and his place in the Empire. Plus: Is–or was–Thrawn Force-sensitive?

This podcast is NOT spoiler-free! This episode covers chapters 14 through the end of the book and mentions plot points from seasons 3 and 4 of Star Wars Rebels.
