What makes Grand Admiral Thrawn such an engaging Star Wars villain is his intellect. Thrawn doesn't wield the Force. He's tough but not an absolute brawler. He doesn't seem to care much about pursuing vengeance, a line of thinking that often plagued Darth Vader's career. Thrawn always plans five moves ahead of everyone in order to "control all variables," as he so elegantly informs Morgan Elsbeth in Ahsoka's penultimate episode, "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness." He enjoys studying opponents and outflanking them to achieve his own ends, abilities that served him quite well in Star Wars Rebels and translate as successfully to live-action as Lars Mikkelsen's performance.
