Thrawn may be the most vital character to come from Star Wars Legends.
Star Wars: Ahsoka brought Grand Admiral Thrawn to live-action for the first time. Casual Star Wars fans who follow only the live-action entries into the Star Wars canon may wonder why this caused such a stir among fans. Those who have watched the animated series may recognize the character from his stint in Star Wars Rebels but not be aware of the character's previous history.
Thrawn in the Star Wars Legends Expanded UniverseStar Wars came roaring back to life when Bantam Spectra announced a new novel by Timothy Zahn that would continue the stories of Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo five years after the Emperor died in Return of the Jedi. However, with the Emperor and Darth Vader gone, the galaxy far, far away needed a new villain for its heroes to clash against.
Thrawn made an instant impression on fans. His rank immediately conveyed his capabilities, and Zahn was able to write plenty of instances of Thrawn living up to the aura he projected. He remained one or more steps ahead of the New Republic throughout Heir to the Empire and into its sequels, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command. That he was an alien among the otherwise entirely human Imperial military similarly spoke to his abilities.
Interestingly, during that original era, Zahn only hinted vaguely at Thrawn's origin and how he came to serve the Empire. That story wouldn't be told until the 2006 novel Outbound Flight after Del Rey encouraged Zahn to write a story set during the prequel trilogy era. In that novel, a Republic expedition led by Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth enters the Unknown Regions.
The Thrawn of Star Wars canon is even more calm and more considered than his Legends counterpart. Thrawn does believe in the Empire, at least as a form of government, as he believes a strong leader is needed to control the chaos that would result from a democracy of disparate cultures . However, he hoped to wield the Empire's strength in a way that would protect the Chiss Ascendancy.
