It may be necessary all around, therefore, to ask one simple question: Who Is Grand Admiral Thrawn?
Star Wars: Rebels season 3 premieres on Disney XD tonight, September 24 at 8:30 pm EDT.
In short, it’s absolutely no surprise that Lucasfilm would bring him back into the new Star Wars canon status quo.
(It’s a possibility which, actually, isn’t that far-fetched, given that Rebels and its predecessor, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, have already brought Darth Maul [Ray Park] back to life, robotic spider legs and all.)
