Now, after a cliffhanger series finale for Rebels, Thrawn is set to make his live-action debut imminently, as he will return to the galaxy in the Ahsoka series which debuts in August. The character was de-canonized when Disney purchased Lucasfilm in the early 2010s, but Filoni soon brought the character back through his introduction in the animated Star Wars Rebels series. Those books served as sequels to the original Star Wars film trilogy and are generally considered to be some of the best Star Wars material out there.
The villainous Imperial tactician has been beloved by Star Wars fans since the early ‘90s, when he was the central antagonist in Timothy Zahn’s trilogy of books ( Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command).
If there’s any character that is almost guaranteed to be in this movie, it’s Grand Admiral Thrawn. Considering the crossover nature of Filoni’s movie, it can be assumed that many fan-favorite and key characters will be appearing throughout its story. Filoni’s movie will build on the events of all these shows, as it depicts the tensions between the New Republic and the Imperial Remnants coming to a head. The Mandalorian recently wrapped up its third season, which followed the release of The Book of Boba Fett in early 2022, and the Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew shows are both set for release later this year. Set about five years after the defeat of the Empire in Episode VI – Return of the Jedi, the Mandoverse consists of a handful of series overseen by Filoni and Jon Favreau. In addition to other shows like Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and The Bad Batch, the Mandoverse has been doing a lot of heavy lifting for the Star Wars franchise in recent years. While James Mangold’s film will explore the “Dawn of the Jedi” and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s story will see Daisy Ridley return as Rey and delve into the galaxy’s future after the Skywalker Saga, Dave Filoni’s movie is set to be a culmination of events from his various “Mandoverse” shows on Disney+. All three movies offer different takes on the galaxy far, far away. At Star Wars Celebration in April, Lucasfilm unveiled three new Star Wars movies that are actively in development. After years of confusion and doubt as to what direction the cinematic side of Star Warswould go after the end of the Skywalker Saga with Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker, there finally seems to be some solid direction for the legendary space fantasy franchise.
