Could Grand Admiral Thrawn Be Heading To Star Wars Rebels?

While we are still in the middle of the second season of Star Wars Rebels, some rumours have been starting to come out about the upcoming third series. Making Star Wars is reporting that a character from the Expanded universe, Grand Admiral Thrawn, will be brought into the series, this character first appeared in the Thrawn Trilogy (Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising and The Last Command), which was published in the early 90’s.

“I have heard that in Season 3 of Star Wars Rebels we will be introduced to none other than the original blue guy himself, Grand Admiral Thrawn from Heir to the Empire. From the sound of things, we’re going to see Thrawn as the tactical genius of capital starship warfare he was to Expanded Universe readers in the ’90s. However, this time he will be using his evil brand of genius against the the heroes of the starship Ghost.”

The characters from the expanded universe had previously been categorized as Legends and anything not included in the movies or TV was considered Canon, so bringing in some popular characters from the expanded universe could be really interesting.
