THRAWN IS CANON: Everything You Need from Star Wars Celebration

Add Mara Jade back in and everything perfect.

Considering his reveal was saying you have to know your enemy by their art, yes. Dave Filoni's been a huge Star Wars EU fan all his life and has wanted to bring in Thrawn since before he was non-canon, not to mention all the obvious KOTOR and Republic Commando references.

Ima go full on nerd and tell you that "Rey" was not a character in the comics. There WAS Jenna. Jenna Skywalker. She was a Solo. Her brother, Caedus, became a Sith. Is it possible that Dinsney simply changed her name to Rey?

I hope so, because Boba Fett eventually trains Jenna (Rey) to kill her brother from his expirence from hunting Jedi. Which would be awesome, for me, simply because he'd have more than five lines in that movie. HYPE

@MC_Camaro77 Actually her name was Jaina, and she first appeared in the third book of the Thrawn trilogy, not comics, and her brother was named Jacen before the Dark jedi Lumiya gave him the name Darth Caedus. Don't lecture me. And you're not picking up on my obviously sarcastic joke.

Disney's done far more to invalidate Jaina being anything like Rey. For one, Rey remembers her parents but doesn't know Han and Leia. Han and Leia don't know her. Second, JJA says her accent is important. Neither Han nor Leia have a british accent. Third, it's not going to be something so obvious. Besides, if Disney wanted to go with the old canon, they wouldn't have made Thrawn non-canon in the first place and would've had Chewie die, not Han.

@DavidtheWavid And I thought I was a nerd...

Thank you. I'm honored by your compliment.
