Summary
The following contains spoilers for the Ahsoka season finaleWhen a franchise gets as big asStar Wars, its cast of heroes also begins to grow exponentially. That seems to be one thing Grand Admiral Thrawn didn’t account for when he started his one-ship invasion in theAhsokafinale. As one fan has pointed out, he’s got his work cut out for him.
The ending ofAhsoka’s first seasonset in motion some pretty dire-looking circumstances for theStar Warsuniverse. After a decade lost in an entirely separate galaxy, Thrawn returned with the help of the Nightsisters of Dathomir. Even though Rebel hero Ezra Bridger managed to hitch a ride on Thrawn’s ship back to his home galaxy, the New Republic would need more than just his help to prepare against this re-emerging threat, especially with Ahsoka and Sabine still trapped countless lightyears away. But oneStar Warsfan seems to think that might already be taken care of.

TikTok user .cody66recently posted a video in response toAhsoka’s season finale, reminding viewers exactly what Thrawn has to look forward to in the galaxy after being away for so long. Keep in mind that this story takes place almost right after the events ofThe Return of the Jedi. So, when one tries to stir up some shenanigans in the wake of a huge victory against the entire Galactic Empire, there are still a lot of heroes hanging around. The video hypes up characters like Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo with epic background music, already proving that Thrawn won’t have an easy go of things with them around.
Of course, recent shows have been reluctant to use any of the originalStar Warstrilogy’s heroesin any substantial way. Luckily, they aren’t the only ones kicking around during this period. The video goes on to include others like Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca along with C-3PO and R2-D2, the former of the two droids admittedly posing markedly less of a threat than the rest. But lest fans forget, there’s still a lot going on in the galaxy at this point. That’s even beyond the original trilogy’s most prominent faces.
More recent additions likeThe Mandalorian’s Din Djarinlikely serve to remind viewers just how potent theStar Warshero pool is during these years. That’s not even to mention Ezra himself, whose ability to not only sneak aboard Thrawn’s dreadnought but also steal a ship and sneak off undetected is sure to be a boon. Boba Fett, his partner Fennec Shand, Bo-Katan Kryze, andStar Wars Rebelscharacters Zeb and Hera round things out on the movie and TV front, with even a mention of Captain Rex, who’s surely kicking around somewhere.
Finally, the video also mentions Cal Kestis and Merrin from theJedi: Fallen OrderandJedi: Survivorgames. While neither character has shown up during this particular era inStar Warslore, it wouldn’t be all that farfetched for them to be around, willing to lend a hand during this turbulent time. Granted, fans likely won’t see either of them again until the nextJedigame. But given how things are going, maybe that will come first. Plus, given how Merrin isone of the Dathomirian Witches, it would be fitting for her to take part if she can. Either way, Thrawn has one heck of a welcome party waiting for him.
