Lucasfilm has released an excerpt from upcoming novel Star Wars Thrawn: Alliances revealing the book’s connection to the new theme park, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
One thing that fans are still wondering about is how Batuu is going to connect with the current Star Wars cannon and its vast extended universe.
It’s also exciting to learn that the theme park will not just be a random planet in the Star Wars universe, but one that was once a vital part of Emperor Palpatine’s plans before Vader and Thrawn, somehow, interfered.
It was the place where he and Thrawn had long ago interfered, albeit unwittingly, with one of Palpatine’s plans.
