Star Wars: Thrawn [New Printing]

Product Information

But not a lot of fans know that Thrawn was first created as a character in the non-canon Legends novel series called the Thrawn Trilogy. Of course, while these books are no longer canon, Thrawn was given life by author Timothy Zahn, who was the one responsible for conceptualizing Thrawn’s entire character. And after Thrawn became canon in ‘Rebels,’ Zahn followed up his story with several more books. Yularen activates the holoprojector and explains that there has been a rise in insurgent activities in the Batonn sector for several months. He explains that they have some indications that some of these groups have started working together; a trend they need to stamp out before it spreads. Notably, Thrawn and Vader often competed for the Emperor’s favor and openly disagreed on what was best for the Empire. However, the reason Palpatine decided to team the two up was because they had actually worked together before. Thrawn: Alliances features a parallel narrative set during the Clone Wars, depicting a younger Thrawn’s first encounter with Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Throughout the events of the novel, Thrawn puts together that Anakin and Vader are indeed one and the same. Star Wars Dark Forces Collector's Trilogy". Highbridge Audio.

In that regard, Thrawn plans to turn the tide of battle in his favor by using these powerful weapons to his advantage as he is now looking to take over the entire galaxy as the heir to the Empire. a b Myers, Lindsay Rae (20 February 2014).

Since swearing his loyalty to Palpatine, Thrawn has played the role of the Empire’s most dangerous commander as he was able to pursue his enemies with incredible ruthless. However, while Palpatine had one of the most dangerous men under his employ, he still dreamt of something a lot more dangerous.

And that was when Thrawn started to realize that even the smartest minds cannot compete with the ability to destroy entire planets in one shot. a b c d e f "30 years ago, Timothy Zahn resurrected Star Wars".
