Thrawn, he's an actually competent Imperial officer, very rare in that show.

Well, that's because the lore was wiped. Of course we haven't heard much about him outside of Rebels.

Personally, I hope Filoni brings in Rae Sloane. Kanan can have a real rival.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Or he's running a splinter group somewhere and will come back to gloriously tear the First Order and New Republic apart for being stupid.

Personally, I hope Filoni brings in Rae Sloane. Kanan can have a real rival.


I feel like they would have mentioned Thrawn in Lost Stars if Rae and him had interacted.

Probably. Although, did they know he was coming back when the book was written?

I don't think Thrawn is a great Rebels villain. Think about it.

Disney's not going to pull a Rogue One and have the cast get killed off by the Empire. What that means is Thrawn will inevitably lose at some point.

In the EU, Thrawn could stand up to the New Republic and only lost because he was betrayed. In the new canon he'll be outplayed by teenagers.

Hera, Zeb, and Kanan are all adults. As is Rex and most of the Rebellion leadership. :eyebrow:

The show mostly centers around Ezra.

You get my main point though, right? The main cast of Rebels is much smaller and less significant than the main cast of Thrawn's original novels. Thrawn's inevitable failure to win against the cast makes him come across as less threatening and competent than his EU inspiration.

When writers bring in a big name villain for the newer, weaker heroes to fight and defeat, it just makes the big name villain seem weaker.
