In 2012, the Empire of Disney acquired Lucasfilm with plans to build a new franchise-which would take place after events of Episode VI, and so conflict with the Zahn’s character arcs for the original heroes. The Thrawn book series continues into the late 1990s, wrapping up the Thrawn conflict. The original Thrawn trilogy builds toward a collision between the Thrawn and the original heroes, Luke, Leia, Han, and Lando. Thrawn then mounts a counterattack with remnants of the Imperial fleet. The Thrawn book trilogy, written by Timothy Zahn, takes place after events of Episode VI Luke Skywalker has defeated Vader and the Empire, signaling victory for the Rebel Alliance. Thrawn’s role in current Star Wars canon is a bit confusing.įans first encountered the character in 1991 in Heir to the Empire, the start of a trilogy piggybacking on the original film series, which at that time concluded with 1983’s Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. The news was accompanied by a leaked photo of Mikkelsen in blue face, posted on Reddit-an image, likely unfinished, showing the next grand Star Wars antagonist as a cross somewhere between Handsome Squidward and Elon Musk. During this year’s Star Wars Celebration in London, Lucasfilm announced that Lars Mikkelsen will play the blue-face Grand Admiral Thrawn in the upcoming Disney+ series Ahsoka. THIS WEEKEND, ahead of The Mandalorian Episode 7, Star Wars fans caught their first glimpse of the franchise’s next live-action villain.
