I needed this, thanks.

Looking forward to getting started on this one!

About 2 chapters in and wondering, what does it mean when a person is referred to as a Skywalker? this is my first novel in this era, so not sure how the term is used.

Sky-walkers are what the Chiss refere to force-sensitive people.

I have that same faint memory of it being briefly explained in Thrawn: Alliances so I’m sure it is.

And yes it is Force sensitive beings, and I believe the Chiss used them as “navigators” in the Unknown regions where space travel is hazardous and dangerous.
The Sky-walkers could navigate with their Force instincts in the uncharted space.

This is my first Thrawn book, so appreciate the background. Thanks everyone!

I haven’t started. I’ve only read book 1 of the first trilogy.

I finished the book last night and thought it was a solid thumbs up
