Ahsoka: The Novel Oct 12, 2023

Show notes

Before she got her own TV show, even before her defining experiences in Clone Wars Season 7, Ahsoka Tano got her own book—the first of the new Disney canon. Author E.K. Johnston tells the story of Ahsoka's first years after Order 66, and Erin McGowan joins me to dive into the book and what it means for Ahsoka and the wider Star Wars world.Erin grew up on the prequels and Clone Wars and has a lot to say about all things Star Wars-related! She also cosplays as her all-time favorite character: Ahsoka! Learning to build a cosplay has brought so much joy to her life and she does all she can to share that with others.
You can find updates on what Erin is up to on Instagram and TikTok, both @ladytanocreates.

Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy • Thrawn: Treason Oct 05, 2023

Show notes

Is Thrawn committing treason against the Galactic Empire, or against the Chiss Ascendancy? Is an Imperial Governor's theft of the Galactic Empire's resources a form of treason, or is it treason even for a high ranking Imperial officer? Is Eli Vanto a traitor to the Empire? Is anyone in Timothy Zahn's Thrawn: Treason not committing some kind of treason against someone?!?
Thrawn: Treason is full of both treason and betrayal, and Danielle is back to talk about it with me, closing out our conversations about Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy.
Danielle is a PhD researcher who spends too much time thinking about Star Wars and The Last of Us and the rest of her time working through a towering to-be-read pile. You can find her on TikTok at writteninthestarwars, Twitter at danies394, and Instagram at writteninthesw, and her writings on The Bad Batch and other topics at Temple of Geek.If you're interested in reading this book, you can find it here.
