Without spoiling anything (I’m waiting for the paperback), could Thrawn fit with the original Thrawn Trilogy? I assume it wouldn’t outright contradict them, despite Canon statuses, but I guess it might.
I’m almost done with it and I can’t think of anything that conflicts with the old books. I don’t think it even directly contradicts Outbound Flight.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about the new Thrawn novel. I’ve generally avoided any new EU content, but I’m really intrigued by this one (especially if I can headcanon it with the Thrawn trilogy). Unfortunately it hasn’t come out in Norway yet. (I’m thinking about buying Catalyst though.)
However, I’m surprised that it doesn’t contradict Outbound Flight. Don’t they both tell his backstory? Or is the new book only about his time with the Empire?
(I’m still skeptical about buying Outbound Flight though, as I’ve heard it has a lot of PT Anakin in it. I was hoping the new novel would be a good substitute, or would you recommend I read both?)
