No because the Novel takes place at the same time as the last episode of rebels where Thrawn got kidnapped by space whales. The novel makes it clear Thrawn is screwed.

[@mish375]

Thrawn's plan was to send resources and an advanced Tie-fighter prototype to the Chiss military for them to repurpose to defend his planet. Palpatine probably took note of this and was questioning Thrawn's loyalties. Remember, Thrawn hates how xenophobic the Empire is and views it as a lesser evil so his people can stay alive.

“It is said that one should keep one's allies within view, and one's enemies within reach. A valid statement. One must be able to read an ally's strengths, so as to determine how to best use them. One must similarly be able to read his enemy's weaknesses, so as to determine how to best defeat him. But what of friends? There is no accepted answer, perhaps true friendship is so exceedingly rare. But I had formulated my own. A friend need not be kept within sight or within reach. A friend must be allowed the freedom to find and follow his own path. If one is fortunate, those paths will for a time join. But if paths separate, it is comforting to know that a friend still graces the universe with his skills, and his viewpoint, and his present. For if one is remembered by a friend, one is never truly gone.” - Thrawn

I really believe he is back with the Chiss Ascendancy and has convinced Ezra to fight with him. In “Thrawn” he alluded to the Empire that there were much larger threats in the unknown region which would explain why Ezra just disappeared

I think Ezra knew about the threth and made the space whales bring the fleet to Chiss and outer rim to fight Vong as I belive he mentiond that his path was not on Lothal or the rebels,however Thrawn seemed to supriced by the attack to even known of Ezra doing this and as for Vanto going to the chiss I think it was to preper them that he was comeing back with help just not as fast as it happend due to Ezra

[@fushiryuten]

Potential spoiler if you haven't read the newer books on Thrawn. Star Wars Theory, you could mention that the Chiss fleet uses force sensitive chiss girls to help them navigate through hyperspace... and that the names of this group of children in Cheunh translate in basic to "Sky-Walkers".

Some more canon facts. 1. Thrawn was responsible for the introduction of the Tie Defender. One of the most formidable Tie variants ever built. 2. He was an expert in h2h combat. 3. Thrawn defeated another Grand Admiral named Balanhai Savit, which in itself is a feat, but he accomplished that while outnumbered 1:3 and applying one of the most redicilous maneuvers in SW history. Imo Savit was also inspired by Legends Zaarin, the rogue Grand Admiral you must beat in the classic Star Wars: TIE fighter game , which consequently earns Thrawn the rank of Grand Admiral iirc. 4. While on a joint mission with Thrawn, Vader stated that he expected the Grand Admiral to have already worked out several ways to take him out if he deemed it necessary. Which is badass, considering who Vader is.

@@TheRyujinLP yet some canon comics use IG-88 after Endor

[@jaieregilmore971]

Yeah in hindsight it was a dumb move on Disney,Their trilogy is just a reboot of the original but worse it doesn’t add anything new to the universe what was the point of the Return of the Jedi when they no Jedis after it.

@@goodmind4940 Yeah... the current comics are something else.... they can't even be bothered to trace official art assets and like to steal fan works instead >.>

There's a great fanfiction called the Last Known Trajectory about Ezra and Thrawn in the unknown regions,

One of my favourite Star Wars Characters as you can probably guess by my profile picture. But anyway - I love this character because of his insurmountable and exceptional skills. He's a tactical mastermind being able to see the bigger picture of war and treat it as an art form. He is also very competent too and he was able to find out the identity of the fulcrum and locate the rebel base. Whenever he's on-screen I get chills and I love the voice acting for him too; it gives off the impression of a calm and calculating tactician.

Hey SWT! As you've mentioned in some of your recent videos, like many during the pandemic I have also been watching a lot more star wars. I finally got Disney+ and watched rebels, the mandolorian first season, and the final season of the clone wars (not to mention watching the movies in the machete order for the first time). I've really gotten into watching your videos, with all of your enjoyably creative alternate timelines and your filling in the canon and legends literature stories I haven't had the chance to read. It's all fantastic and I'm absolutely subscribed and look forward to everything you do. I wanted to bring up an advertiser I've seen a few times in your videos, in case you feel similarly. And I totally understand KZbin ads and want you to make as much money off of your work - I don't mind letting your ads to play to help with that. But there are ads from PragerU coming in frequently, and if you happen to be unfamiliar with them (these ads were my introduction to them as well), PragerU is American conservative propaganda. Like I mentioned, I don't mind letting your ads play through so you get more return on the videos, and holy moly are these ads a campaign of disinformation. And I figure since you're all about the star wars universe, and a lot of that can function as escapism for us mortals on earth, you may not be interested in this advertiser getting time on your videos. Maybe you don't mind, in which case I apologize for bringing it up. I just don't want to stop watching your videos and would very much prefer not to see reminders of some very gross political nonsense before I do. Love your content, and I appreciate you considering this!
