Timothy Zahn returns for a second Thrawn novel in the new canon, and this time the galaxy’s most brilliant tactician is being paired up with both Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader–in different time periods. Join Tom, Stephen, and William as they review Thrawn: Alliances by the great Timothy Zahn. In what seems like a lifetime ago, General Anakin Skywalker of the Galactic Republic, and Commander Mitth’raw’nuruodo, officer of the Chiss Ascendancy, crossed paths for the first time.
