DESCRIPTION:
Only been waiting years for this book Jennifer Quail The down side of the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm was that books like Timothy Zahn's the Thrawn Trilogy were relegated to a status dubbed "Legends." And while some of the new material has been enjoyable (notably James Luceno' s "Catalyst") mostly the books have been middling-quality afterthought to the new films and cartoons."Thrawn" rectifies that.From a only-barely modified origin story that will be very familiar to those who read the short "Mist Encounter" to bringing Thrawn days before his debut in "Rebels. "A return to good Star Wars!" according to Sam Fett. I will admit I haven't enjoyed Disney's EU. I miss the old characters and old stories. This novel was a very good example of what Disney could do with the New EU and how they can merge the old with the new if done right. A great twist about Thrawn is found at the end of this novel that changes his character's history but it is great. Old EU fans will find that this story does not change Thrawn and what we know of him but enhances his story. I couldn't help to wonder if Zahn is hinting with a force, more terrible . Matt H. said Thrawn Is Back. As a lover of all prior Thrawn books, this one gives more insight into the mind and soul of Thrawn than others before. It also contains the story of Governor Pyrce's rise to power. For anyone who loves intelligent anti-heroes and villains it is a great read. It doesn't confirm or deny prior Thrawn stories, and leaves quite a bit to the Legend of the good Grand Admiral. Close reading will introduce at least one Legend into Canon.
In this definitive novel, listeners will follow Thrawn's rise to power - uncovering the events that created one of the most iconic villains in Star Wars history.
