Summary
In this vintage conversation recorded at a 1990s convention, Tony and Ernest Lilley sit down with acclaimed author Timothy Zahn, whose groundbreaking Thrawn Trilogy helped revive global interest in Star Wars long before the prequels arrived. Zahn reflects on crafting new corners of the galaxy, developing one of the franchise’s most iconic villains, and balancing tie‑in storytelling with his own original universes.
