Re: Reading Heir to the Empire
If another hurricane, even a smaller one, swung up through and hit Texas or Puerto Rico again, their response wouldn't be "eh, we've survived worse." It would be "oh crap! We still haven't finished picking up the pieces from the last one! Were going to get annihilated!"

Re: Reading Heir to the Empire
Thinking of it, this book takes place well after Jedi Outcast and its random Chiss bartender on Nar Shaada that I mentionned earlier.
It is possible however that Lando has seen holos of Thrawn since TTT and knows what he looks like.
True. I hadn't noticed it before since I read them back to back but now that you mention it, it is weird.
Pellaeon had a chance to play Thrawn for someone else, but he's much warmer about it and occasionally concedes a point. He's not tricked into believing Bel Ibliss fired on him, but he's still hanging around in the system, which might be an acceptable second outcome for Tierce et al.
To be continued, whenever I get hold of Vision of the Future. Thanks for reading. I wonder if I can get this done before I have to make a new thread.
Especially when you remember that Thrawn was assassinated on the bridge of his flagship and Rukh killed almost immediatly afterwards. The kill was never confirmed to the Republic.Forum Wisdom

Re: Reading Heir to the Empire
Spoiler: Regarding Thrawn's DeathActually it gets confirmed in the X-Wing series Novel Isard's Revenge, where it is mentioned by Ackbar to Wedge, and makes a comment about the relationship between Rukh and Thrawn being like Han and Chewie, which isn't actually true, but the degree of closeness and probable success is.
It might not to be spoiled though, the aboveBlog Read and Comment! I use green for joking and Blue for sarcasm.

Re: Reading Heir to the Empire
It's never confirmed as in no one working for the republic ever saw the body. The Noghri probably told the NR and the Imperial retreat at Bilbringi followed by Thrawn's disappearance meant they could safely assume it worked, however with the reappearance of a Grand Admiral Thrawn, "maybe Rukh just managed to put him into a coma" gets credibility.
