Who Is Grand Admiral Thrawn?
The Galactic Empire is studded with many colorfully villainous personages, but Grand Admiral Thrawn has always stood out as one of the most vivid figures among this distinguished pantheon. With his blue skin, red eyes, and icy demeanor, he’s an utterly unforgettable presence. That may explain why the fan community has never forgotten him. Since his first appearance in Timothy Zahn's best-selling 1991 novel Heir to the Empire, he’s been a consistent favorite among devotees of what was once known as the Expanded Universe and is now relegated to the unofficial status of Legends.
