He's one of the most compelling villains in all of Star Wars, respected by Palpatine and Darth Vader, feared by the New Republic... and somehow he only appeared in live action this year. This week, Adam and James take a dive into the backstory of the inimitable Grand Admiral Thrawn, exploring how he rose to power in the old Expanded Universe and how that differs in the new canon timeline.
