Grand Admiral Thrawn will return to wage war on the New Republic in upcoming Star Wars projects, and one 15-year-old detail sets up a confrontation with Ahsoka Tano. Before it became Ahsoka’s mission to hunt Thrawn in The Mandalorian season 2, these characters never had any meaningful connection, as Ahsoka disappeared in Star Wars Rebels just before Thrawn made his canon debut. Thanks to Ahsoka season 1, Thrawn and Ahsoka have been on a collision course, one that still hasn’t come to fruition but is inevitable in Ahsoka season 2 or Dave Filoni’s Mandalorian-era movie.
