This week, it's Thrawn 101 where we catch you up or maybe refresh your memory on the life and times of one of the galaxy's favorite antagonists. Learn about the Chiss Ascendency, his early encounters with Anakin Skywalker, rising through the ranks of the Empire, what his motivations in Ahsoka may be, and more! And of course, we'll be giving our predictions for how we think it all may tie in to the Ahsoka series, premiering August 23rd.
