With Thrawn in live-action Star Wars, he is changed from Legends in 5 important ways.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Played by Lars Mikkelsen, Grand Admiral Thrawn has made his live-action debut in Ahsoka episode 6, but canon has changed this iconic Star Wars Legends character in a few significant ways. First appearing in the 1991 novel Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn, the Chiss Imperial strategist Mitth'raw'nuruodo is a classic enemy for the fledgling and recently New Republic.
5 Thrawn's Appearance And Outfit Grand Admiral Thrawn's appearance in canon is subtly different to Legends. In Legends, Thrawn was depicted as a blue-skinned man with red eyes that visibly lack pupils. This made him very intimidating, nobody knew where he was actually looking at a given moment, and it made him look much less human. This fit well with Thrawn's backstory as an exiled Chiss, originating from a race in the Unknown Regions.
In canon, the Chimaera was Thrawn's flagship before the Star Wars original trilogy. Both Thrawn and the Chimaera were banished to a distant galaxy by Ezra Bridger. Now, in Ahsoka, Thrawn is returning with the help of Morgan Elsbeth, needing help from back home so he can return. 2 Thrawn's Reason For Being Gone The reason for Thrawn's absence during the Galactic Civil War is strikingly different between canon and Legends. In canon, Thrawn was defeated in Star Wars Rebels' finale when Jedi padawan Ezra Bridger used the Force to summon space whales called purrgil at the end of the Battle of Lothal.
