THE ART OF WAR: CELEBRATING THE THRAWN LEGACY!

The enigmatic power and skills of that truly alien servant of the Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn, is well captured in this excellent art by Chris Trevas.

Being the Star Wars franchise equivalent of the ultimate calculating and resourceful villain (within the fragmented Galactic Empire in the saga era post Return of the Jedi), in a similar and effective way that the alien warrior Thanos was to The Avengers film series for Marvel, Grand Admiral Thrawn's live action debut in the upcoming Ahsoka mini-series, played by Lars Mikkelsen, is hugely awaited by fans. And, as well now know, this is just the beginning for Thrawn's ambitions, what with his eventual cinematic debut in Dave Filoni's all-action, multi-series character assemblage that will be Heir to the Empire. I wonder where he got that great title from...?
