<description>&lt;p&gt;This week, we crack the spine on the final book of Timothy Zahn's franchise-extending Thrawn trilogy, and wow, what a doozy it is. The Dark Force is no longer Rising, it's &lt;em&gt;risen&lt;/em&gt;, and that means the pedal is down and the plot is going full speed. Talon Karrde is meeting with smugglers. Luke bounces all across the galaxy. Lando's walking city is in ruins. Han and Leia's kids are here, and they have visitors, invited and otherwise? And Mara Jade? Well, she's wide awake and getting ready to do the things she does best: Pout and kill people.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.patreon.com/civilized"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Support the show by going to Patreon.com/civilized!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Next Time: The Last Command Ch. 11-18&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="embedTitle_ad0b71 embedMargin_ad0b71"&gt;&lt;a href= "https://bsky.app/profile/morecivilized.bsky.social"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Follow us on Bluesky&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="embedTitle_ad0b71 embedMargin_ad0b71"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="embedTitle_ad0b71 embedMargin_ad0b71"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hosted by Rob Zacny (&lt;a href= "https://twitter.com/robzacny"&gt;@RobZacny&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Featuring Alicia Acampora (&lt;a href= "https://twitter.com/ali_west"&gt;@ali_west&lt;/a&gt;), Austin Walker (&lt;a href="https://twitter.com/austin_walker"&gt;@austin_walker&lt;/a&gt;), and Natalie Watson (&lt;a href= "https://twitter.com/nataliewatson"&gt;@nataliewatson&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Produced by Ricardo Contreras (&lt;a href= "https://twitter.com/a_cado_appears"&gt;@a_cado_appears&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Music by Jack de Quidt (&lt;a href= "https://twitter.com/notquitereal"&gt;@notquitereal)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Cover art by Xeecee (&lt;a href= "https://twitter.com/xeeceevevo"&gt;@xeeceevevo&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

Description

This week, we crack the spine on the final book of Timothy Zahn's franchise-extending Thrawn trilogy, and wow, what a doozy it is. The Dark Force is no longer Rising, it's risen, and that means the pedal is down and the plot is going full speed. Talon Karrde is meeting with smugglers. Luke bounces all across the galaxy. Lando's walking city is in ruins. Han and Leia's kids are here, and they have visitors, invited and otherwise? And Mara Jade? Well, she's wide awake and getting ready to do the things she does best: Pout and kill people.
