The Ahsoka series on Disney Plus will show the first live-action appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn, a villainous Chiss who many see as the rightful Heir to the Empire. This video explains the lore regarding Thrawn's background and his appearances in various Star Wars novels and series. Thrawn is one of the most well-rounded villains in Star Wars lore and his return was teased in The Mandalorian seasons 2 & 3. Beyond the Ahsoka series, Thrawn may appear in Dave Filoni's upcoming feature film, which is said to wrap up the stories of the Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and Boba Fett series thus far.
