Star Wars Already Knows the Best Way to Thwart Thrawn But There's One Issue
A new Star Wars comic is the key to Thrawnâ??s defeat.
One of the most dangerous enemies the Rebel Alliance faces in Star Wars is the ever-cunning Grand Admiral Thrawn. Not only is Thrawn a genius, but he is also a superb Imperial strategist who knows how to manipulate his foes and predict their future movements, making him nearly impossible to defeat. However, one comic reveals an opportunity for the villain to finally face his downfall.
Thrawn was first introduced in the 1991 novel Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn. The character became so popular that Zahn continued to write two more books that made up the “Thrawn Trilogy.” However, these books were written before 2014 and are now considered as Star Wars Legends continuity (Expanded Universe).
In 2014, Lucasfilm stated that anything created before that year—with the exception of the prequels, original movies, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars—was no longer canon in the Star Wars universe. Therefore, Thrawn’s status as a canon character was called into question, despite his popularity in the fandom.
Now Is the Perfect Opportunity for the Comics to Explore Thrawn’s Previous DefeatThrawn Was Ultimately His Own Downfall in Previous StoriesThrawn was brought into canon in the 2018 comic miniseries Star Wars: Thrawn—written by Jody Houser with art by Luke Ross. The series, set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, leads into Thrawn’s first on-screen appearance in Season 3 of Star Wars: Rebels. Before Thrawn became a canon character, he was bested by a familiar hero in Legends continuity: Princess Leia. With the upcoming Star Wars comic by Alex Segura set to feature Leia and take place directly after Return of the Jedi, now would be the perfect opportunity for the comics to incorporate Thrawn’s previous defeat.
In the Star Wars: Republic comics by John Ostrander and Jan Duursema, Leia discovers that her father—Darth Vader—had used the Noghri species from the planet Honoghr, essentially enslaving them for the Empire under the pretense that the Empire would provide aid to Honoghr. After Vader’s death, Thrawn continued to lie to the Noghri and exploit them for his benefit. When Leia exposed Thrawn’s deception to the Noghri during her visit to Honoghr, it led to Honoghr supporting the New Republic and Thrawn’s ultimate assassination. Eliminating Thrawn from the equation was essential, as he posed a serious threat to the New Republic.
RelatedLuke Skywalker's New Nemesis Has Major Connections To Both Thrawn & Darth VaderStar Wars has revealed a new Imperial enemy following the Battle of Endor, one with connections to both Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader.
Thrawn's Fate May Be Sealed in the New Republic EraGrand Admiral Thrawn's Enemies List Continues to GrowSince Honoghr and the Noghri have yet to be brought into Star Wars canon, Segura’s Star Wars provides the perfect opportunity to explore the origins of the planet and species, as well as their deception by the Empire. In the current canon, Grand Admiral Thrawn was introduced in live-action in the Disney+ series Ahsoka. After being stranded in wild space for over ten years due to Ezra Bridger’s actions during the Battle of Lothal (Star Wars: Rebels, Season 4), Thrawn finally returns to charted territory with a full army of Stormtroopers created by the Nightsisters' witches.
The introduction of Honoghr could easily bring a Legends plot into continuity, especially since Leia is set to play a major role in Segura’s upcoming series. Even if the comics do not follow through with Thrawn’s assassination, they can set the stage and build a foundation for the exploitation of the Noghri in a live-action adaptation. As Grand Admiral Thrawn is the primary enemy of Ezra Bridger and the other rebels from Star Wars: Rebels, adapting his downfall at their hands—perhaps in another season of Ahsoka—would be a very satisfying and fitting conclusion.

Set between Episodes III and IV of the Star Wars film franchise, Star Wars Rebels is a canon animated series that follows a group of ragtag heroes who band together to face the Empire. In an age where the Galactic Empire is hunting down the last of the Jedi, a teenage outcast named Ezra Bridger is discovered to be force sensitive by a surviving Jedi known as Kanan Jarrus. Agreeing to join them and accept Jedi training, Ezra becomes a part of a small but growing crew of rebels determined to destroy the empire covertly.
Grand Admiral ThrawnThe only alien to ever ascend to the rank of Grand Admiral, Thrawn is a strategic genius who hails from an isolationist race known as the Chiss. Thrawn's motives are enigmatic, but his tactical brilliance made him a vital asset for the Empire. Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger successfully defeated Thrawn during the Battle of Lothal, resulting in Thrawn's exile to the distant planet Peridea in another galaxy, but the Grand Admiral has now returned.
