Thrawn Treason is the final installment in the latest, canonized novel trilogy by Timothy Zahn. The novel contains all the elements of strategy, tactics, intrigue, and suspense that make a Thrawn novel great. In short, the novel was excellent, though the title set up false expectations for me.
Today's Fan Feature comes once again from the incredible Facebook group Star Warriors (All things Star Wars). (If you haven't checked them out yet, you can do so HERE.) Now, we all love Star Wars. For many of us it's been a part of our lives for over four decades. But… there are those times in
In the world of writing, the Young Adult market is, by far, the hottest and fastest-growing segment. YA stories sell like wildfire. IDW Publishing knows this, so they've once again tapped writer Cavan Scott to pen another installment of Star Wars Adventures Annual 2019, coming to comic shops this

So after about 40 years of asking why is that guy carrying an ice cream maker in STAR WARS: The Empire Strikes Back we finally have our answer. The guy carrying the “ice cream maker” is Willrow Hood. Yeah, he was in the scene for only a few seconds but no one would have ever guessed the impact
