Who is Grand Admiral Thrawn? Thrawn first appeared in Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (1991), written by Timothy Zahn, which for years was part of the “official” canon for fans of what happened after Episode VI – The Return of the Jedi (1983). Although Thrawn does not control the Force or represent a physical threat like the Sith and other aliens from the Empire, he captivated fans with his charisma and his bellicose and tactical knowledge. But, in 2012, the production company Lucas Film was sold to Disney, and because of that the entire material of the so-called expanded universe was now under the “Star War Legends” label, excluded from the new canon, which was only comprised of the movies and The Clone Wars animation. The director, creator, and producer of the animated series The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels, Dave Filoni, reintroduced Thrawn into the Star Wars universe in Rebels, and the villain gained another trilogy of books written by Timothy Zahn, now also part of the canon. Played in the live action by the imposing Lars Mikkelsen, who voiced the character in Rebels, Thrawn appears in the flesh in the Ahsoka series. In the show, after his disappearance in Rebels, his whereabouts were unknown for years and he was declared dead, but in reality, he and his crew in the Chimaera were exiled in the extragalactic planet Peridea. The former Jedi Ahsoka Tano heard rumors about Thrawn’s return, which led her to face the protégée of the villain Morgan Elsbeth. With the aid of Elsbeth and the Great Mothers, Thrawn escaped Peridea. Freed from his exile, Thrawn and the Great Mother traveled to the native planet of the Nightsisters, Dathomir.
