The Mandalorian Ahsoka Grand Admiral Thrawn

I think you don't have to tease him agian but do like Boba Fett tease one seaon and the next he shows up in cameo scene. I don't think Ahsoka will come back this season but next season.

 

The Hollywood Reporter mentioned that Ahsoka's role in Mando would possibly act as a backdoor pilot for her own (presumably) live action spin off show back when news of her being in Mando first dropped. So I assume that the Thrawn stuff will be for that show.

 

I think with Thrawn being this huge character, even more then Ahsoka is and with his legends story post ROTJ, i think Thrawn is the big bad with his empire remnants. I think this is the start of a new heir to the empire with Thrawn as the big bad and Gideon as this villain who is still a threath but not so mutch like Thrawn is. I also think there more we see of Gideon and later Thrawn the more we see of the new republic and maybe the goverment with Mon Mothma.

 

He is the new Palpatine in way.



Ezra is Thrawn's henchmen, lol

 

People don’t like how Zahn has taken thrawn

 

Oh really i always thought they loved how he made Thrawn more of a human character and some were not satified with him in rebels.

 

It would be an interesting relationship to be sure. Thrawn in his pragmatic ways might inadvertently tempt Ezra with the Dark Side. Thrawn doesn't understand the concept of balance and would try to force Ezra into using the force as a weapon, justifying it as necessary for their survival. And without his master,or his newfound family, Ezra could be more vulnerable to that temptation. It'd be funny if Thrawn accidentally turns Ezra while being ignorant of the force.

 

I think that’s highly plausible. Though I also think that Thrawn, given that he’s alive and functioning as a “boss” during the Mandalorian, could also play a perhaps peripheral role in this show, as either a rival of Gideon, a superior of Gideon, or another force altogether (perhaps he launches a bid for the Chiss to fill the power vacuum, for example, or he tries to establish an Empire of his own on the foundations of his fleet). Lots of cool options during this time period.

Agreed. Never liked Zahn’s simplistic take on things. His “Thrawn divines military strategy from art” stuff was always lame and unrealistic, and his new stuff is also unreadable. He’s also super-arrogant about the superiority of his mediocre writing skills.

 

I can't remember if Thrawn was a big believer in Palpatine in Legends, but I would like to see him doing his own thing now that Palpatine seems to be dead in this period. Trying to take over Republic space for the Chiss. That would add a whole new dimension. He and Gideon could be enemies.

 

Oh I agree I just hope that whatever happens they don’t just decide to **** all over his books. That’s not really fair for him even if I don’t think he’s the best writer ever.

 

I think Favreau, Filoni and Zahn have been in cahoots since they first announced Thrawn would return to canon. Filoni undertook the task of reestablishing him as a villain while Zahn built up his backstory and character as a detective/anti hero. We're starting to see the culmination of it all. Now Favreau is reintroducing him as a shadow looming over everything in the post-OT era. Thrawn is going to come back in a big way, but I have a feeling it won't be seen in Mandalorian. The premise of this show is the adventure shared by Din Djarin and Grogu. All of these guest appearances are tertiary to the plot. First is the adventure. Second is Gideon's ambitions, which will lead Din and Grogu into conflict with him.

 

I think he'll be more like book Thrawn then he was in rebels as i'm sure Filoni has had time toread them all even scripts for the next one. And Zahn can announce more books soon.

 

He’s better in Rebels. Less of a reliance on art as a foundation for military strategy.

 

I think Rebels Thrawn has good attitude to art and being evil but also honrable and regret alsmot killing all on Lothal as it was his emperor's command and he die if he refused. I think season 4 of Thrawn is agood balance of him.

 

Amen and thank heavens whatever his final fate is will most likely be in Filoni's hand and Zahn's.

 

I think He's best as morally grey and does what he must even if that means he must work with a facist regime.

 

That’s pretty morally evil though. You willingly work for fascists (without an ulterior motive to undermine them), and you lose any claim to “gray.”

 

Well yeah, he dosen't consider himself evil and chiss are known to be cold hearted in regards to other species. He believes he does this to save his world and the rest of the unknown regions. Someone a while ago called like a Jo Snow character, with only him knowing these threaths from beyond the regions.

 

Interesting thing I just realized. Mando takes place in 9ABY Thrawn in legends died in 9 ABY. Coincidence probably just something I found interesting

 

He comes from an Aristocracy so it's not like he has any inclinations to pursue Democracy. Heck, an aristocracy is not far from fascism, the difference pretty much is not having the one dictator above the ruling class.

 

I know. Just stating where that places him on the moral spectrum. In my view.

 

It's funny his canon character might live longer then his legends one and get a better death, if he dies during this time.

 

His death by his own assassin was pretty lame
