Why? It's been 30ish years since i read those books, but as I recall his was in the outer rim or unknown territories during the OT and when he just got back when the first book picked up.This is my problem… I love thrawn always have always will. Heir to the empire came out when I was a little kid, that WAS my sequel trilogy and still is
I love thrawn in rebels and I loved him in ahsoka, dad bod and all!
But I would have never guessed he would make it back to the Skywalker galaxy so soon and so easily.. I figured it would be a few seasons of him fighting to get back and ending up dying out there in that new galaxy..
Here’s my problem.. if thrawn is in the Skywalker galaxy.. you’re going to tell me, Luke Skywalker isn’t going to do anything about it? They have to bring Luke back now... which I can’t see them doing.. I think to me at least they are going to replace Luke with Ezra..
I don’t want to see more Luke Skywalker.. leave him alone. But we are in a pickle now.. because Skywalker would not allow thrawn to come back and rebuild the empire..
Idk anymore…
As it stands now, He's coming back 5+ years after the OT which lines up with the book. From Ahsoka, we clearly see the time he was out there was rough. We likely will get a bit of that in flashbacks, but there's not really a need to have a long drawn out process to get him back. You knew as soon as Ahsoka and company got out there that fast, he'd get back just as fast. Just as it's most likely Ahsoka and Sabine will get back via the world between worlds or the they fix the ship and the whales come back. The statues more imply the WBW though.
I half expect the Heir movie to be Mando and the Ghost crew leading the fight against Thrawn and we'll get some Luke (and likely hand and leia) in holo's fighting another fight in the battle defending Coruscant or something.
