Contents.Character Thrawn first appeared in the 1991 Timothy Zahn novel Heir to the Empire, the first installment of what became known as the Thrawn trilogy. He is a Grand Admiral in the, and categorically 'the most brilliant of the Emperor's minions'. A member of the alien species, Thrawn is described as a tall, solidly built humanoid with blue skin and glowing red eyes who wears the white uniform befitting his rank.

He has risen in power thanks to his 'tactical brilliance and cunning', and has been described as 'one of the most threatening antagonists' in the Star Wars universe. He is an unparalleled military strategist and tactical genius who has made extensive study of military intelligence and other cultures, and the Thrawn trilogy finds him commanding the remnants of the Imperial Fleet in a series of stunning victories against the. His full name was given as Mitth'raw'nuruodo.described the character as 'diabolical, brilliant and ruthless'. Zahn describes Thrawn's command style as considerably different from that of and other typical Imperial commanders; instead of punishing failure and dissent, Thrawn promotes creativity among his crew and accepts ideas from subordinates. Zahn said in 2017:Most of the Imperial leaders we see in the movies rule through a combination of fear and manipulation. I wanted to create something different: a commander who could lead through loyalty.

The result was Thrawn, a tactical genius whose troops follow him willingly, and who will fight for him whether or not he's watching over their shoulders.Referencing Zahn's annotations in the 20th Anniversary Edition of Heir to the Empire, John Booth wrote in that Zahn 'created and developed Thrawn as a character by deliberately establishing the Grand Admiral as a villain who leads not by coercion and fear but through valuing strategy and loyalty'. Zahn explained in 2008 that Thrawn's version of the Empire is different than that of because Thrawn does not have Palpatine's. Calling Thrawn and his favorite of the characters he created, Zahn noted in 2006 that writing the Grand Admiral 'provides the intellectual challenge of trying to come up with new, clever, and (hopefully) workable tactics and strategies'.

In seasons three and four of, Thrawn is voiced. Appearances Expanded Universe works. Created Thrawn in his 1991 novel.Introduced in the (1991–93), Thrawn became a fan favorite and subsequently appeared in multiple works in what became known as the, including novels, comics and video games, through 2006. He is often cited as one of the most popular characters in the franchise. Star Wars Rebels executive producer said of the character in 2016, 'You couldn't have grown up a Star Wars fan without encountering Thrawn in Heir to the Empire. It was a dark time when there weren't any more movies, and it blew our minds that there could be more.'

The Thrawn trilogy itself is widely credited with reviving interest in the Star Wars franchise. In 2010, creator Filoni expressed interest in using Thrawn in that series. Some fans of Zahn's Thrawn series had long hoped the books would be adapted, and after the 2012 announcement that had acquired Lucasfilm and planned to produce film sequels to Return of the Jedi, Zahn commented that if material from the expanded universe was used in the films, 'we'd all be thrilled to death'.With the 2012 acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney, most of the licensed Star Wars novels and comics produced since the originating 1977 film were rebranded as Star Wars Legends and declared non-canon to the franchise in April 2014. Though Lucasfilm made it clear that new media would 'not tell the same story told in the post- Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe', it was also established that 'creators of new Star Wars entertainment have full access to the rich content of the Expanded Universe.'

Acknowledging that Thrawn had long been considered by Lucasfilm when developing projects, Filoni later said in 2016 that in particular the character had been on his list of potential villains when developing Star Wars Rebels. Thrawn trilogy In 's (1991), master tactician Grand Admiral Thrawn plots to destroy the New Republic despite their numerical advantage over the remaining Imperial forces.

He sets his sights on the storehouse of the late, which contains a massive array of Spaarti cloning cylinders and a working cloaking shield. To this end, Thrawn and his subordinate, captain of the Chimaera, enlist the help of smuggler and his second-in-command to obtain several salamander-like creatures called. Thrawn uses the ysalamiri, which possess the natural ability to disrupt the Force, to subdue the storehouse's guardian, a twisted clone of a whom the Grand Admiral had killed years before.

C'baoth offers his allegiance in exchange for two acolytes to bend to his will: Darth Vader's twin children,. Thrawn sends some of his killers to capture Luke and a pregnant Leia, but their attempts repeatedly fail. Leia defends herself from one attack, and is surprised when the Noghri suddenly surrenders.

Thrawn launches his first offensive, a series of hit-and-run attacks into New Republic territory, and then steals a complement of mole miners from 's mining operations on. In need of warships, and with his previous tactics having forced over 100 lightly manned ships to be stationed at the shipyards as he planned, Thrawn invades. His use the stolen miners to board and hijack the ships, but they are thwarted when Lando is able to seize control of the miners remotely. The Grand Admiral withdraws his forces, but thanks to Thrawn's plotting, his New Republic nemesis is soon arrested for treason.Thrawn discovers the existence of a lost fleet of 200 Dreadnaught ships in (1992). Meanwhile, Leia learns that the Noghri serve the Empire because they revere her late father, the insidious Vader, who they believe saved their planet from ecological disaster.

Leia convinces them that they have been deceived and effectively enslaved by the Empire, and they switch sides. With Ackbar temporarily neutralized as a tactical opponent, Thrawn leads an army of clones to claim the so-called ' Katana fleet', outmaneuvering Luke, Lando, and.In (1993), Thrawn uses his new fleet, manned with clones, to mount a successful offensive against the New Republic.

Seizing one planet after the other, the Grand Admiral soon immobilizes the galactic capital world,. He has placed multiple cloaked asteroids around the planet, but through a ruse he has led the New Republic leadership to believe that Coruscant is surrounded with them. Learning of the deception, the Republic fleet attacks the Imperial shipyards at Bilbringi to capture a device that can find the cloaked asteroids, but Thrawn's forces crush them. Meanwhile, Luke and Leia lead a group to destroy the cloning facility on Wayland. Just as Thrawn and Pellaeon learn that the Noghri aided in the attack on Wayland, Thrawn's own Noghri bodyguard kills the Grand Admiral—whose last words are, 'But. It was so artistically done.' With all hope of victory dashed by Thrawn's death, Pellaeon orders the Imperial forces to retreat.

The Hand of Thrawn Zahn's (1997) finds Thrawn seemingly resurrected ten years after his death when he reappears to lead the decimated Imperial forces against the unstable New Republic.In (1998), the Grand Admiral is revealed to be an impostor named, employed by to motivate the Imperial troops. Major, the clone of a former stormtrooper imbued with Thrawn's tactical intellect by the Grand Admiral himself, strategized that the false Thrawn could also be used to rally support for the Empire and intimidate the New Republic. The tactic is successful until Admiral Pellaeon and the smuggler Talon Karrde—on opposing sides but desiring peace—expose Flim. Meanwhile, at a fortress called the Hand of Thrawn, Luke and Mara discover a gestating and near-complete clone of Thrawn, which is killed during their escape. Other novels Thrawn appears as a captain in the 1997 novella.In, Zahn's 2004 sequel to Vision of the Future, Luke and Mara journey to investigate the wreckage of Outbound Flight, a Jedi expedition destroyed by Thrawn years before.

Newly discovered by the Chiss, the remains turn out to be the lure in a trap laid by the bloodthirsty to avenge themselves on the Chiss.Zahn's 2006 novel, a prequel to Heir of the Empire, is set fifty years before Survivor's Quest. It follows the story of the doomed titular expedition, led by Jedi Master, that is attacked by a young Chiss commander named Mitth'raw'nuruodo—informally known as Thrawn.

The alien commander, Thrawn, is able to handily defeat the Republic ships despite inferior weapons and numbers. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine seeks to destroy the Outbound Flight, and he and his agent convince Thrawn that the ship and its Jedi pose a threat to the peaceful future of the galaxy. Thrawn agrees, hoping to get C'baoth to turn back before taking more drastic action. The Jedi refuses and Thrawn fires on the ship, but Doriana launches an assault that kills every Jedi and sends the Outbound Flight careening to its destruction on a nearby planet. Thrawn's brother Thrass and Lorana, the sole surviving Jedi, sacrifice their lives to save what survivors they can. Thrawn is reprimanded by his Chiss superiors for his hostile behavior, and summoned back to his home planet.

Called Thrawn the 'true star' of the novel, noting that his attack on the ship, secretly influenced by Palpatine's agents, 'insures his own eventual exile from his race and sets other sinister wheels in motion'. Zahn said of writing the novel, 'as always, it was immensely fun to play tactics with Thrawn'.

Though StarWars.com suggests that in Outbound Flight, Thrawn is 'too smart and basically decent to become the servant of Palpatine that he later becomes', Zahn explains:My sense has always been that Thrawn was manipulating Palpatine just as much as Palpatine is manipulating him. After all, he only came to the Empire so that he could gain command rank, collect all the military hardware Palpatine was willing to give him, and then get himself kicked back out to the Unknown Regions where he could start his long-term preparations for the coming war against the.Set between and, Zahn's (2011) pits Thrawn against the alien warlord Nuso Esva, his nemesis from the Unknown Regions.

Thrawn orchestrates a plan to locate a Rebel base in 'Side Trip' by Zahn and, published in Star Wars Adventure Journal #12 (February 1997) and #13 (May 1997), and reprinted in the November 1997 anthology. The success of this mission earns him the command of Darth Vader's Noghri commandos. Zahn's novella Crisis of Faith, published with the 20th Anniversary Edition of Heir to the Empire on September 6, 2011, is set immediately before Heir to the Empire and finds Thrawn finally able to defeat Nuso Esva.
