For fans of Ahsoka and Star Wars: Rebels, seeing Bokken Jedi Ezra Bridger again warmed hearts. However, the reappearance of another Rebels mainstay, Grand Admiral Thrawn, chilled them from hearts to spines. Perhaps the oldest of the Star Wars legacy characters appearing in Ahsoka, the return of Thrawn proves the Imperial Grand Admiral hasn’t really changed at all. He is still poised, calm and deadly, even though everything from his ship to his uniform has seen better days.When Ahsoka Tano first showed up in live action during The Mandalorian Season 2, the seed for the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn was planted in the mind of the fans. “Far, far away” marks his live action debut, though the character has a long history. He first showed up in a trilogy of books by Timothy Zahn in the early 1990s, books now part of the Star Wars Legends Expanded Universe. He later appeared in Star Wars: Rebels as the main antagonist for Seasons 3 and 4, along with two additional trilogies of books by Zahn, all of which are considered canon. In the books, Thrawn is the protagonist, so he’s not exactly evil. Rather, he is a sympathetic character who seeks to protect his home, the Chiss Ascendancy, and the area of the galaxy controlled the Empire from a threat. In Rebels, however, he is a much more traditional villain. While he’s not the worst Imperial fans have met, he’s much less the patient Imperial leader with a sense of fair play. When fans meet him again, Thrawn hasn’t changed, not even his outfit.With six novel-length stories of backstory, who Grand Admiral Thrawn is can be a complicated question. He is a “low born” Chiss who was elevated to the Chiss aristocracy thanks to his skill, cunning and intelligence. He was sent on a mission, posing as an exile, to infiltrate the Galactic Empire. He was meant to evaluate them as a potential ally to the Chiss Ascendancy and pit them against the mysterious Grysk Hegemony. Instead, he became a loyal servant of the Emperor. He also served with Darth Vader on a mission to Batuu, a place he visited during the clone war era with none other than Anakin Skywalker.RELATED: Ahsoka Fans Don’t Need to Watch Star Wars Rebels, but It Helps
