Grand Admiral’s Return: Thrawn Review
Questionably canon. Definitely an article. Dive into a book that rides the line between new canon and old legends. This novel has all the space pirates and political backstabbing you could want, plus the untold story of the original Grand Admiral – but more importantly, how’s the read?

This Target exclusive is part of the Rogue One set of figures, though I don’t actually remember ever seeing this trooper in the film.

When I first heard about Galactic Empire (the band and not the beloved Rebel scum crushing ultimate power in the galaxy) it was through a YouTube video of their rendition of The Imperial March.
