Legendary Star Wars Writer Reveals a Huge 'Ahsoka' Flaw

The problem with great villains is they have to lose at the end of the day.

Meh. The Villain always loses, but the suspense is often in how much damage they cause before that time.

For example, Thrawn could end up destroying a few entire planets or beloved characters before his ultimate demise. He could seduce a good character into joining the dark side. He can 'win' that way.

The whole 'actually you're too late' trope is often a fun way of doing that. You can also subvert stuff. Make the villain turn out to be (inadvertently/ultimately) good and/or make the villain (inadvertently/ultimately) evil.

The problem with Star Wars, I think, is that it's often far too obvious whether someone's a villain or not. Characters like Baylan Skoll(Ahsoka), Luthen Rael(Andor), or Qi'ra(Solo) are far more interesting.

The Clone Wars did similar things with Doku, Maul and Ahsoka. It's a shame Ahsoka is so obviously good in this show.

Since I don’t know what we know about what happened to Ahsoka and Thrawn between the end of Vador and the beginning of the New Order, I would like to make a few propositions of ways Thrawn could not be seen losing in the show.

• Thrawn could be the key player in the Emperor’s return.
• Ahsoka could die fighting Thrawn to death.
• Thrawn could kill a lot of people before dying himself.
• Thrawn could still die of natural causes, or sacrifice himself for the Emperor.

I kinda likes Darth Santa. I want to see more of him.
