| “History is on the move. Those who cannot keep up will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all” Grand Admiral Thrawn
Rallying Imperial troops to his banner five years after Endor; Mitth’raw’nuruodo, as he was known to his native Chiss, used complex strategies to ensure the survival of an increasingly splintered and dangerous galaxy. To those who knew and served under him, Thrawn’s ultimate plan for the Empire’s future lay shrouded in mystery…so much so that even years after his untimely assassination, hope remained that the greatest of all Grand Admirals would return and lay claim to a final Imperial victory. Thrawn was a character created and introduced into a Star Wars Expanded Universe book trilogy by author Timothy Zahn. Star Wars fans voted for actor Jeremy Irons to portray the Grand Admiral in an internet poll. |
