Summary
The Ahsoka Disney+ TV show, titled "The Heir to the Empire," will mark the highly-anticipated return of Grand Admiral Thrawn.The Imperial Shadow Council eagerly awaits the grand return of Grand Admiral Thrawn, anticipating his arrival with formidable military forces.
The concept art of Thrawn's command bridge raises speculation about a potential alliance between Thrawn and a new force in the Unknown Regions, as it does not align with the Empire or the Chiss.
Excitement is growing for the upcoming Ahsoka Disney+ TV show, featuring Rosario Dawson as the lead character. The concept art for Ahsoka suggests a distinct Empire that may have originated from the Unknown Regions. The show is expected to focus on Ahsoka's journey to locate Grand Admiral Thrawn, an alien Imperial strategist who disappeared before the Galactic Civil War. Thrawn's flagship was intercepted by purrgils, space whales in the Star Wars universe, and was pulled into hyperspace, presumably towards the Unknown Regions.
The content fragment is as follows:
The Mandalorian season 3 introduced the Imperial Shadow Council, military and political leaders from the Empire conspiring to overthrow the nascent New Republic. The Imperial Shadow Council is awaiting Grand Admiral Thrawn's return, believing he will bring with him substantial military forces. Lars Mikkelsen will play the live-action Thrawn in Ahsoka, and the precise circumstances of his return are still a mystery. Concept art released at San Diego Comic Con teases that he'll arrive on an unknown ship - and that may be a clue to the real threat he poses.
Thrawn's Golden Command Bridge Doesn't Match With The Empire - Or The Chiss
San Diego Comic Con 2023 experienced a rather subdued atmosphere due to the ongoing clash between unions and film studios. Nevertheless, Lucasfilm decided to conduct a bit of promotion for Ahsoka nonetheless. They unveiled captivating Ahsoka concept art featuring the enigmatic Grand Admiral Thrawn overseeing operations on an unidentified spacecraft. This vessel stands out from any seen before with its opulent golden deck and the presence of golden droids operating it. Its design deviates completely from the typical Imperial technology, which has always emphasized sleek and seamless silver aesthetics.
Has Thrawn Forged An Alliance With A New Force?
Speculation surrounds the presence of Thrawn on a Chiss ship, belonging to his own people who have distinct blue skin and red eyes. The Chiss originate from the Unknown Regions, a challenging space sector to explore due to the aftermath of ancient supernovas. However, it is implausible for Thrawn's command bridge to be Chiss since they traditionally do not utilize droids and had no prior knowledge of this technology until their encounter with the Republic during the Clone Wars. Considering the conservative nature of the Chiss, it is difficult to envision a scenario where they would have embraced the use of droids. Therefore, if Thrawn's command bridge is neither Imperial nor Chiss in origin, it logically must belong to something else.
It is highly probable that Thrawn has established a new alliance during his time in the Unknown Regions. Uniquely, Thrawn possesses a penchant for exploring different cultures and would undoubtedly be enthralled by encountering new alien species. If this indeed proves true, Thrawn's return to the galaxy would not only signify the resurgence of the Empire under his leadership but also introduce formidable forces hitherto unseen by the Republic. This aligns seamlessly with Thrawn's inclination for secrecy as he intends to come back with a formidable invasion fleet, aiming to catch the New Republic off guard and prevent them from adequately preparing a defense. Considering the concept art of Ahsoka, it strongly alludes that Thrawn will pose an immensely terrifying threat to the entire New Republic.
