Star Wars Rebels: Season 4 Trailer #2 (Official)

Here's a new trailer for season 4 of Star Wars Rebels. It looks like season 4 is going to be awesome!

Book Review: Thrawn (Star Wars) by Timothy Zahn

Right off the bat, I have to say that Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn was definitely one of my most anticipated book releases of 2017, and I’m very happy to say that it ultimately exceeded my expectations for the most part. Not only is Thrawn definitely my favorite out of all the new cannon Star Wars books that I’ve read so far, I would also say that it ranks #2 in terms of how I would rank my favorite books out of all the books I’ve read so far in 2017. For the record, my #1 favorite book that I’ve read so far this year is definitely Jeff Zentner’s new book, Goodbye Days.

While I haven’t read Timothy Zahn’s original Thrawn trilogy, I felt like Zahn did a really fantastic job of presenting Thrawn as a very complex and nuanced character in this book. It was really fascinating to see how Thrawn managed to have such a successful career in the Imperial army, despite the fact that he’s a Chiss who’s living in a society that discriminates against alien races. That definitely added a very interesting element to the character Thrawn, and the book as a whole.

One thing that I really liked about this book is the fact that Zahn did a great job of writing Thrawn in such a way that while he is in many ways a genius, he still has flaws and weaknesses. I’m really glad that Zahn didn’t try to portray Thrawn as being invincible and superior to everybody else in this book, because I think it would have been incredibly frustrating if Zahn hadn’t given Thrawn some vulnerabilities and humanized him to a certain degree, especially since this book really gives people an in depth look into how Thrawn’s mind works. One of the best ways I thought that Zahn portrayed Thrawn as having some flaws and vulnerabilities was with the inclusion of the character Nightswan, who serves as a worthy adversary for Thrawn throughout the book. Thrawn may be a genius in a lot of ways, but he definitely has a bit of a blind spot when it comes to Nightswan, I felt like Zahn did a fantastic job of writing the adversarial dynamic of Thrawn and Nightswan’s relationship.

In terms of how Zahn gives the reader a lot of insight into the way Thrawn thinks throughout the book, the openings of each chapter of the book really give the reader some great insight into how Thrawn’s mind works. Admittedly, I was definitely very confused for a large portion of the book about what exactly the openings of each chapter were supposed to be, because I didn’t know where, when and to whom Thrawn was saying those things to. Eventually, it was revealed that the openings of each chapter were actually excerpts from a journal that Thrawn had written in at some point, and then later gave to Eli. Not only do I think that the excerpts from Thrawn’s journal were ultimately a really great and effective way to give the reader a lot of insight into the character; I also feel like Thrawn giving Eli his journal was a great way to show that Thrawn had really come to view Eli as his protégé.

Star Wars Rebels: Season 3 Trailer (Official)

Here's the trailer for season 3 of Star Wars Rebels. If you ask me, it looks like season 3 is going to be absolutely awesome. :) Based on what was shown in this trailar, I'm really excited to see where things go with Ezra in season 3. I'm really starting to think that Ezra is eventually going to go to the dark side, which is something that I definitely have very mixed feelings about.

My Star Wars Tumblr page

Hey, Everybody!
I just wanted to tell everybody about my Tumblr page that's devoted to Star Wars. For the record, I do post things related to other science fiction TV shows on there. While I've shifted the focus of my blog to primarily doing book reviews, I'm thinking about doing reviews for the TV show Star Wars Rebels since I've recently become a big fan of the show. However, I do need to get caught up on watching season 2 of the show. Anyway, I've included a link to my Star Wars Tumblr page in case anybody is interested in following me there.

I hope everybody is having an awesome day. :)

Star Wars Rebels: Scoop on the possibility of cameos by characters from the original trilogy from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich

Here's some scoop on Star Wars Rebels from this week's (Posted on 10/3/14) Matt's Inside Line column.

I loved, loved, loved the Star Wars Rebels premiere! I was wondering if there was any word on if Rae Sloane from the prequel novel A New Dawn might pop up this season? –Ryan
Sorry, I am, mmm, but no amount of Jedi mind tricks could procure intel from Disney XD. Outside of Artoo, Threepio and Obi-Wan Kenobi (via hologram), they’re not letting slip with any other cameos from film or novel canon.
