The Big Picture Now that the dust has settled following Grand Admiral Thrawn's debut in Ahsoka, it's time to get down to brass tacks. Or it would be in a series less concerned with glorifying lightsaber duels over character. Ahsoka's penultimate episode, "Dreams and Madness," falls into the same trap of underutilizing its most interesting assets to the point of compromising them. Unfortunately, but perhaps inevitably, this includes Thrawn, the man behind all the hype.
Thrawn staying the same, however, is one rung on the problem ladder. How have the years and his humbling defeat changed him? Not a whit, apparently, except for mishandled makeup and costuming. Dave Filoni intends for Thrawn to empower the Imperial Remnant into a big boss battle, yet Thrawn rings like Moff Gideon with more firepower — another Imperial filling a power vacuum. That's low-hanging fruit.
Finding Thrawn, then, is a quest for power — the power he lost through Order 66, the power the Jedi squandered, and the power to remake the galaxy for the better. Baylan's crusade hinges upon his belief that civilization can't escape "this cycle of [death and destruction]." He's the unlikely hero of his own story. Star Wars has always pushed the good vs. evil binary; it's a story with clear delineations, and that has its place.
