Why isn’t Grand Admiral Thrawn on the list I? I, for one, think he is really cool and is the only alien to achieve the rank of Grand Admiral. Not to mention his iconic backstory and his amazing strategical abilities.
Answer
For those such as myself who were unfamiliar, Thrawn is a character from the expanded Star Wars universe - he first appeared in the 1991 novel 'Heir To The Empire' and has since featured in numerous animated series, video games and his own collection of stories. However, I stated that the list would only cover characters from the first eight episodes ('Phantom Menace' to 'The Last Jedi)' and the stand-alone 'Rogue One' film as these are the only ones considered canon. The fact that I had to Google who Thrawn was illustrates that he has yet to appear in the wider, non-fanboy community. Frankly, I haven't the time to explore the endless expanded universe of Star Wars for a definitive list so I hope you'll forgive me for that.
