Star Wars Drops Massive Hint: Grand Admiral Thrawn May Betray the Empire
The latest Star Wars Encyclopedia has revealed a surprising new detail about Grand Admiral Thrawn, setting up an interesting turn of events for the future of the franchise. According to the encyclopedia, Thrawn’s key agent, Eli Vanto, is listed as having an affiliation with both the Empire and the Chiss Ascendancy, but also with Grand Admiral Thrawn himself. This unusual classification suggests that Thrawn is not loyal to either the Empire or the Chiss, leaving fans wondering what his true motives are.
In the past, Star Wars Rebels and Ahsoka portrayed Thrawn as a loyal Imperial, but Timothy Zahn’s novels have shed a different light on his character. It seems that Thrawn’s loyalty is not to the Empire itself, but rather to a philosophy that emphasizes the need for a strong Empire as a defense against the unknown threats of the galaxy.
This raises questions about Thrawn’s agenda and how it will impact the Star Wars universe. It’s possible that he may use his position of power to undermine the plans of the Imperial Shadow Council, who are working to resurrect Palpatine, to whom Thrawn has no loyalty. This could lead to a fascinating narrative where Thrawn’s true motives are revealed and the franchise explores the extragalactic forces he is so afraid of.
The episode of The Mandalorian & Grogu and the upcoming movie from Dave Filoni are expected to feature Thrawn as the main antagonist, but it’s possible that his true story could have even greater implications for the franchise. With his complex and enigmatic character, Thrawn’s potential for greatness is palpable, and fans can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.
