May The Force Be With You, Live Long & Prosper…..Always!
I'm a day late with this. Many apologies as I've been unwell. Grand Admiral Thrawn- probably the most iconic character to come out of what we now know as 'Star Wars Legends'. Thrawn first appeared in the 1990's with Timothy Zhan's Dark Empire trilogy that began it all. Thrawn eventually turned up in Star Wars:... Continue Reading →
