chirrut sounds like a master po type character.

Shaping up nicely, very stoked & confident we won't be disappoint.

Not sure of when the original Thrawn appeared in the SW saga was it always inbetween episodes 3 & 4? Wasn't it after 6 before it got uncanonized?

I don't really remember Thrawn being mentioned until the EU books. ESPECIALLY the first couple books of the X-Wing series and the little trilogy of books where he is the central antagonist until the X-Wing series introduced Zsinj.

I know that Thrawn was never mentioned in the movies. I just thought in the EU books his storyline took place after the fall of the empire.

He was the main antagonist after the Rogues took Coruscant and when he was "defeated" the first time is when Zsinj became a primary antagonist with the Wraiths.

Okay, I don't read any of the books, none of what you just said to me means anythng. What is his original timeline? Before or after the original trilogy.

I don't remember hearing/seeing his name until AFTER Return of the Jedi.

Thats what I figured. So the good thing about being able to cherry pick from the EU you also aren't beholden in when these characters take place in the saga.

Like, he was mentioned AFTER Return but there was a fair amount of his backstory fleshed out that he was the only non-human to rise in the ranks of the Empire and was present at the battle of Endor and other big time space fights.

Unless you count the novel "Splinter of a Minds Eye" as the start of EU (I don't), the "Thrawn Trilogy" was what started the EU. He was introduced in "Heir to the Empire" a story that takes place 5 years after RotJ, which was released well before the Prequels. The novels kickstarted the SW EU craze with what happened after the movies. Some novels would fill the spaces in between the OT movies, there were a few short stories about Thrawn that took place during that time, and after the Prequels we got some backstory on Thrawn during that era.

When Disney invalidated the EU after the purchase, Thrawn ceased to ever exist....until now

2nd Trailer for ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Released!

A new trailer for Gareth Edwards’ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is now online. The film follows a small group of rebels as they attempt to steal the plans for the Death Star.

Despite all the talk of production problems on the film, you wouldn’t know it from this trailer. Rogue One looks like a bold, exciting step into the future of the Star Wars franchise. Visually, it looks completely different than anything we’ve seen before, and it looks like Edwards has succeeded in giving his picture a “war movie” aesthetic. Moreover, this trailer does a terrific job of focusing on the cast. This trailer is so good you don’t even need the little Darth Vader capper at the end, although it certainly doesn’t hurt.

Also starring Diego Luna, Mads Mikkelsen, Forest Whitaker, Jiang Wen, Donnie Yen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Ben Mendelsohn, Genevieve O’Reilly and the voice of James Earl Jones, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story opens December 16th.
