Grand Admiral Thrawn. The blue guy in Rebels. He was the main bad guy in the Timothy Zahn trilogy that was the original sequel trilogy in book form. Disney de-canonized those, but they have been pulling from all that lore to repopulate the galaxy. And let fans that all isn't lost. But if Ahsoka is going to be in more episodes, then we might see Thrawn. And Sabine Wren, another Mandolorian.
A complete genious who can only be defeated by his own arrogance in wanting to only win with the use of genious level tactics.
(/George Patton) Thrawn you magnificant bastard! I read your book! (/George Patton)
From the last episode, I noticed/think a few things:
- Baby Y is like 50 years old (remember, Yoda was like 800 or something when he died) and has been trained by masters. He is holding back for some reason and has WAY more power than has been shown. It's got to be something like, he needs an actual reason to use it, instead of just, go do Jedi shit.
- AT and Baby Y were talking way more than what was alluded to. I also think Baby Y told her he isn't leaving Mando.
- I dont think AT 'couldn't' train him as far as she didn't want to or he wasn't ready, but because Baby Y is already beyond her. Interesting wording used.
- As for going to a planet to have Baby Y 'activate' some sort of force related beacon, I don't even know who is still out there, but I think its less for training and more to get him to a Jedi temple to unlock his use of the force.
- Mando had AT in a straight up fight.
- Isn't AT looking for Thrawn to get payback on the whole almost going Dark side/framed for treason thing? Or something else? Seems unrelated to Baby Y and the overall story.
- At some point we need to circle around and intersect Moff Gideon and the Darksabre with Bo-Katan winning it off of him so she can unite all Mandalorians; something that would be a good thing (if not absolutely necessary) to have in a Mandalorian specific show.
