Given what I’ve heard about Zahn’s involvement (or lack thereof), I have rather low hopes for Thrawn’s character in this one. Best to expect a more typical villain Thrawn and be very surprised if he’s more than just another adversary.
I’ll admit that the first couple episodes have me slightly more optimistic, but only because I can see the “heir” references being a red herring and merely the expectations of those who only see the Imperial. Probably not though.
I have all my fingers crossed that we'll see a more agreeable, Zahn verstion of Thrawn, instead of just a ruthless, ends justify the means kind of character.
