Posted in Get Thrawn In ASK:
I don’t mean to put a damper on things, but I would like to tell the people of this movement something. Getting Thrawn in Rebels may seem wonderful, and I think it does, too, except that it won’t be the Thrawn that grew to love in the Thrawn Trilogy, Outbound Flight, and others. I think your goal would be better served if you tried to get the old EU continued under the Legends Banner and seeing new Thrawn books there. Just my opinion. Best Wishes, and May the Force Be With You.

We all are going to give something to get something. And this page is not just about Thrawn, rather it is more about Chiss and returning them into the
new canon.
We know they’ve considered it. The mock-ups are there. The dailies are there. The concept art is done. The issues may be due to business reasons as to why the concept of the Chiss did not move forward.
We are using one of the most powerful characters, Thrawn as the driver for
all Chiss. We think we can educate the lay public on this “bite-size.”
a morsel from the EU to introduce this concept back. If this one tiny
aspect works, who knows what else can happen?
Under one banner is cool, but it is enormous and too much for the lay
public to comprehend in just 1 sentence. There is too much negativity
surrounding the idea. Too much bad blood generated. Especially since
there is a page dedicated to destroying our parent group SWAG 77.
We can justify why an art critic military genius needs to be in a creative concept show like Star Wars Rebels.
The SWEU has strict stories that require close collaboration. Why should Disney pay for a trilogy they did not create in the SWEU? It doesn’t make business sense given what we know about the composite characters in the new Star Wars movie, “The Force Awakens.”
Our goals are different, and we cannot join your quest. The owner refuses to work with people based on the attacks when her father was very sick in the hospital and hand to manage that.
But we won’t impede your efforts despite our personal thoughts on the #GiveUsLegends
