Thrawn’s Connection To Anakin Skywalker Explained

Grand Admiral Thrawn has a surprising connection to Star Wars’ central character, Anakin Skywalker. Though they hail from different regions of space, both Thrawn and Anakin were regarded as the best of their kind. They similarly ruffled many feathers among their people, with Thrawn’s military tactics concerning Chiss aristocrats and Anakin having a number of well-documented issues with the Jedi Council. The unorthodox approaches to combat are another shared trait, often leading to resounding victories.
