The Bad Batch Back for Season 2 – Airs 2022
Category Archives: TV / Movie / Book / Audio News
Thrawn Ascendency: Greater Good Available Today
Today, the second book in the Thrawn Ascendancy series by Timothy Zahn is available in stores and online.
Thrawn’s latest triumph still rests newly on his shoulders. He has led the Chiss to victory and brought glory to the House of Mitth, but the true threat to the Ascendancy has not yet been extinguished. Their foes do not send threats or ultimatums, do not mass ships on the edge of the Chaos. Their weapons come cloaked in smiles and generosity: Gifts offered freely. Services granted unconditionally.
Across the Ascendancy, seemingly inconsequential events could herald the doom of the Chiss. As Thrawn and the Expansionary Defense Fleet rally to uncover the plot, they discover a chilling truth: Rather than invade Chiss capitals or pillage resources, their enemy strikes at the very foundation of the Ascendancy, seeking to widen the rifts between the Nine Ruling Families and the Forty Great Houses below.

The Mandalorian S2 E14: The Tragedy Spoiler Discussion
Chapter 14 The Mandalorian officially aired last Friday and it was something my 46 year old brain never thought it would see. This episode paid off in a huge way a tease from Season 1 as well as answers the question of “what happened to Boba Fett after Return of the Jedi” and settles a long standing debate on the heritage of Jango Fett. Maybe they should rename the series “The Mandalorians“. The Tragedy is another glorious addition to the series as well as the entire Star Wars canon.

Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian officially aired last Friday and fulfilled many fan dreams of seeing a live action version of Ahsoka Tano on screen. This episode finds The Mandalorian on his quest to deliver the asset formerly known as “The Child” to the Jedi but not without a run in with another warlord that must be dispatched to save a village. Dave Filoni delivers a great episode in the vein of many samurai tales that influenced Star Wars from its inception.
