Who is Admiral Thrawn? Why did he join the Imperial Navy, how did he rise to the position of Grand Admiral, and what does his background tell us about him and the Empire itself? Danielle (Written in the SW) joins me to discuss Thrawn, book one of the Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy written by Timothy Zahn in the Disney canon.

Danielle is a PhD researcher who spends too much time thinking about Star Wars and The Last of Us and 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.
