Thrawn and Vader have made several appearances at Black Spire Outpost in the Star Wars: Thrawn Alliances film series. The evidence of their past battles can be seen firsthand at Oga's Cantina at Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge, adding a realistic layer to the immersive Star Wars-themed land. As Thrawn and Vader's mission to protect the Empire from the Grysk Hegemony begins, their adventures continue to unfold within the Thrawn Alliances film series.
Grand Admiral Thrawn's shared history with Darth Vader during the Dark Times of the Star Wars canon adds an exciting element to Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge.
In the new graphic novel adaptation of Star Wars: Thrawn Alliances by Timothy Zahn, Jody Houser, Pat Olliffe, and Andrea Di Vito, the first issue features Thrawn and Vader entering Black Spire Outpost, marking their first encounter there but not their first visit. Tasked with working together by the Emperor himself, Thrawn and Vader investigate a mysterious disturbance that could endanger the security of the Empire, mirroring their very first meeting years prior when Vader was still Anakin Skywalker.
How to Watch the Star Wars Movies in Order: A Chronological Journey Through Time
Watch the Star Wars movies in chronological order, each one carefully placed in their respective place in the Star Wars timeline. Each film tells a story that contributes to the overall saga, and each one fits into the intricate tapestry of the Star Wars universe.
As the graphic adaptation of Thrawn Alliances continues, it will be intriguing to witness what else from Galaxy's Edge might grace the page. Given that the original novel introduced characters like Batuu and Black Spire long before the Disney theme park existed, there could be hidden Easter eggs like Savi's or Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities.
