    Just saw reports that Thrawn may be in season 3 of Rebels! SOOOOO excited to see him possibly brought back into cannon. So, if he's in Rebels, then it means he'll be available for Rogue One. Thoughts?

    This has my head spinning! If they bring Thrawn into Rebels, it's for a reason. Thrawn could be the main antagonist in Rogue One!!!! How cool would that be?

    I hope this is true!! If they introduce him in Rebels then its for a reason. It very well could lead to the big screen!! He could make an appearance in Rogue One! Heck, he could even be with the First Order in Ep 8!!!

    Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of the best characters in all SW EU, he was very well created with a superb charisma.

    But, if we think about it the character is a negation of himself because a fascism regim will NEVER had an alien as a superior officer (just imagine a Jew or Gipsy as Nazi General?), so i think he will stay in the Legends stuff.

    Not necessarily. The fact that they overlook his "race handicap" is a testimony to his genius military strategy. They use him for his skills, not because they accept him.

    He is not dead because they recognize his military genius and they have a use for him.

    No Imperial guy will EVER accept to be lead by an alien or a female superior officer. It's a doctrine or fundamental believe just like fascism or muslim fanatism. Just ask yourself: "will any DAESH member ever accept the orders of a catholic or a jew?" NO!

    Edit: I like Thrawn so much because he reminds me a Sherlock Holmes meet Evil Empire Star Wars

    Then how does one explain General Hux bowing to Supreme Leader Snoke, or Captain Phasma?

    And just like in the Tarkin novel, there are those in certain classes within the Empire who are very limited on who is allowed to rise in the ranks, but even Tarkin who came from a family outside of the elitists, had to prove himself and demand respect to achieve his position.

    Snoke is a Sith or a Force User, he can overpower the others. And again, even with the Supreme Leader being an Alien we don't see any alien whatsoever in the First Order Ranks.

    If Benicio Del Toro is playing Thrawn in episode 8, then his introduction in Rebels would serve the movie well. I hope so!

    I could really see this being the case! They can't just keep introducing new Inquisitors every season, so they'll need something different to serve as a big villain. I'm not 100% sold that this is in the cards... but, God, do I want it to be.

    Please let this one be true. If I could pick any one EU character to re-cannonize, Thrawn would be it.

    So excited for this. Since they are taking stuff from the EU I hope they introduce someone like Mara Jade to take out the Rebel scum. As the Emperor's Hand, she would destroy the crew of the ghost on the final season of rebels. It probably won't happen but that would blow my mind.

    I'm not sure I want to see Thrawn lose to the rebels. And if he wins, but never comes back on the show, that'd be weird too.

    If thrawn gets recannonized, I think they should do 3-90 minute direct to video movies adapting the series into the new canon.

    I'm sure he will be a reoccurring villain like Agent Kallus.

    I can only see that happening if they don't include how powerful he was supposedly in the Old-EU...apparently he was too big to defeat or something like that from what someone told me and I don't think the rebels ghost crew could take him out even if he's a recurring villain .

    He was just a great military leader. Basically what Hux is in TFA.

    Don't you think that could be a tad repetitive but backwards-repetitive ?
