Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 - 10 Major Characters Who Could Appear

7. Thrawn

It's a testament to just how great a character Thrawn is that he survived the dissolution of the old Star Wars canon. He was originally introduced all the way back in 1991's Heir to the Empire by writer Timothy Zhan, the first in a trilogy. The books proved so popular that Zhan was brought back to write a new trilogy in 2017, which detailed the character's rise to power within the ranks of the Empire.

Thrawn is such a fascinating figure, and was heavily involved in the events of Star Wars Rebels until its conclusion, with his fate left uncertain. He's a massive fan-favourite, and having appeared in Star Wars games once before, it's high time he entered the medium once again.

It would probably be very tricky to figure out a role for Thrawn in a Fallen Order sequel, given the events of Zahn's new novels depict his rise through the Empire around about the same time, but even a reference or two wouldn't go amiss.
