Timothy Zahn, the creator of Grand Admiral Thrawn, gives his fix for the biggest continuity problem that came out of Thrawn's depiction in Ahsoka.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Thrawn creator Timothy Zahn has an explanation to explain away the major Star Wars contradiction in Ahsoka. Thrawn's first appearance came in Zahn's Heir to the Empire, which was released in 1991 and revealed his intelligence and his fascinating backstory. The Grand Admiral is of the Chiss race and initially joins the Empire as a double agent working for the Chiss Ascendancy.
Zahn does have an explanation behind Thrawn's sudden change in motivation. Writer Nate Manning of Star Wars News Net reported that Zahn provided a compelling solution at Twin Cities Con. Check out Manning's tweet below: Zahn justifies Thrawn's devotion to the Empire as another attempt to preserve the Chiss Ascendancy. Not believing that the New Republic is capable of defending the Chiss, Thrawn elects to bring the Empire back while positioning himself as the all-powerful Grand Admiral.
Does Timothy Zahn's Explanation Work? There are still some flaws in Zahn's explanation. Ahsoka never reveals how much Thrawn actually knows about the status of the main galaxy since his exile. He has no way of knowing about the true success of the Empire or the New Republic, nor should he know about the progression of events for the Chiss. As far as he is aware, the Chiss Ascendancy could suffer from the return of the Empire.
If Thrawn is aware that the New Republic has been demilitarizing, he has every reason to restart the Empire. He always sought to use military resources against the Grysk, who could very well be Star Wars' next major enemy. A demilitarized Republic would strengthen the Grysk. After all, Thrawn would have few options with which to oppose them. He already has influence in the Empire, so it makes sense that he would seek to use his forces in the main galaxy.
