Grand Admiral Thrawn's trap for Ahsoka mirrors Palpatine Clone Wars schemes against the Jedi as he prepared to turn the Republic into his Empire.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Grand Admiral Thrawn's strategies in Ahsoka mirrored Palpatine's schemes during the Clone Wars. As seen in Star Wars' prequel trilogy, the entire Clone Wars was a massive plot orchestrated by Chancellor Palpatine who was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious.
As pointed out by Twitter user @XWnHIST, the trap that Grand Admiral Thrawn laid out for Ahsoka Tano on the extragalactic world of Peridea is very similar to author Matt Stover's description of Palpatine's schemes during the Clone Wars in the Revenge of the Sith novelization. Thrawn had Palpatine's favor during the Dark Times and they were both dark geniuses.
The Clone Wars Were The Perfect Jedi Trap Obi-Wan vs Grievous Is A Core Example In Stover's Revenge of the Sith novelization, the Battle of Utapau shows the overarching strategies used by Palpatine during the entire Clone Wars. According to the book, a Jedi trap requires four core elements. Firstly, the trap needs "an irresistible bait" such as General Grievous hiding out on Utapau.
Thirdly, there needed to be someone powerful to kill the Jedi, and it also helps if they're also the bait as Grievous was, encouraging the targeted Jedi to press forward. It also helps to have stationed forces nearby to prevent easy escape. Lastly, the final component was to "establish a win-win situation" along with a potential third positive outcome. If Grievous kills Kenobi, it's a victory. If Kenobi wins , it saves Palpatine from having to deal with Grievous later.
Lastly, Grand Admiral Thrawn effectively created his win-win scenario along with a third positive outcome. Although the Jedi were not defeated by the Dark Jedi, Thrawn didn't have to worry about either of them by Ahsoka's ending. Likewise, it all served to buy Thrawn time while his Star Destroyer prepared to depart Peridea so the Grand Admiral could finally return to the known Star Wars galaxy after years in exile, the very thing the Jedi were trying to prevent.
