It seems as if the core of Thrawn has been kept though. He will not be just my Thrawn anymore he will be a Thrawn that my daughter and I will get to share, similar yet different. He will not necessarily be exactly the same character he was in the novels. Throughout the day, I kept telling my wife, “I can’t believe he’s back,” but I also kept reminding myself that that statement is only partially true. Not only would he be in Rebels, but we were also getting a new book by Timothy Zahn, the same author who introduced Thrawn to the world in 1991. Thrawn was once again a part of Star Wars canon. I’ll recall sitting on the floor with my daughter recovering from having her grab my shirt and shake me with excitement when TIE SS-25 says, “You can call me Wedge,” and I will remember how I held her a little tighter as a shot of three star destroyers slowly led to the reveal of the familiar Chiss. For some fans, this moment will be remembered alongside “Chewie, we’re home,” in terms of the effect it had upon them. Zeb utters the Lasat swear word, “Karabast.” Thrawn is known to them, and his name inspires fear. In the Star Wars: Rebels Season Three Trailer, it is a name that makes an impact when Hera says it. “Grand Admiral Thrawn.” The name elicits a response.
