It’d be distracting to bring the Death Star into it or this character Krennic.
At different times in Rebels in Season 4, there was a moment where even Krennic would appear in the series, where the Death Star appeared in the series, but because our show isn’t ultimately about either Krennic or the Death Star, I decided to cut those ideas from visibly showing up.
Why would we bring him in if he’s not going to play a major role in this series?
So I tried to avoid that yet get the idea that Thrawn is competing with how we’re going to fight the rebels.
