Star Wars Set Up One Missing Heir To The Empire Character’s Canon Return 8 Years Ago

Several characters from Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn trilogy have been set up for the Heir to the Empire movie, but Star Wars made another canon return possible in 2015. With so many characters set to return in Dave Filoni’s The Mandalorian Star Wars movie, now commonly referred to as “Heir to the Empire,” it’s easy to imagine an appearance from more Thrawn trilogy characters. One of the most crucial characters has not been set up in the recent TV shows on Disney+, a less well-known release seemingly confirmed that he may exist in canon.
