This thrilling Star Wars theory makes Grand Admiral Thrawn's secret connection to Anakin Skywalker the key to his plans. A classic Star Wars Legends villain, Grand Admiral Thrawn made his live-action return in Ahsoka, played by Lars Mikkelsen. Viewers were intrigued when Thrawn hinted at an Anakin Skywalker connection, giving a shocked reaction when he realized Ahsoka Tano was Anakin's former Padawan.
Thrawn's History With Anakin Skywalker Explained Close Grand Admiral Thrawn's relationship with Anakin Skywalker runs all the way back to the Clone Wars, when he conducted a reconnaissance mission on behalf of his people, the Chiss, to the Outer Rim planet of Batuu. This coincided with Anakin Skywalker's arrival on the planet; Padmé Amidala had gone missing on a diplomatic mission to Batuu, and Anakin had rushed to the planet to find his secret wife.
Why Batuu Is So Important To Thrawn Close A remote world situated in the Outer Rim, Batuu is featured in the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge themepark. The planet is close to the Unknown Regions - a vast sector of unexplored space, cut off from the rest of the galaxy by cosmic phenomena. This makes it incredibly important for Thrawn, as it is pretty much as close as the Empire got to his home-space - and to the Chiss.
Batuu Could Be The Key To Thrawn's Return Close The Mandalorian season 3 revealed the Imperial Remnants were still being coordinated by the Imperial Shadow Council - including forces led by Grand Admiral Rae Sloane in the Unknown Regions. Still, the general assumption was that the Imperial military would reemerge from the Unknown Regions when Grand Admiral Thrawn returned to the main Star Wars galaxy.
