Ahsoka
A newAhsokatheory suggests theStar Warscanon already has the stark replacement for a keyThrawn Trilogycharacter . Having made his return to the known extragalactic nebula at the end ofAhsoka , Grand Admiral Thrawn is for certain positioned fora canonical adaptation of Timothy Zahn ’s novelHeir to the Empire . Keeping that in creative thinker , the canon may have the perfect character to take the spot of one of Thrawn ’s key allies .
In Legends non - canonHeir to the Empire , Thrawn return from the Unknown Regions to muster the force of the fractured Empire against the New Republic . As such , the Grand Admiral ’s canon return from another galaxy at the end ofAhsokahas put him in a very interchangeable position , and theImperial Remnant ’s Shadow Councilfully expect him to take bid of their military to restore the Empire ’s resplendency . Keeping that in mind , a new possibility claimsStar Warsintroduced a replacement forHeir to the Empire’sJoruus C’baoth five years ago ( an ally of Thrawn ’s ) .
Here ’s every upcoming Star Wars picture in development - include Rey ’s New Jedi Order , the Dawn of the Jedi , and The Mandalorian & Grogu !
Joruus C’baoth Is The Missing Piece For A Canon Thrawn Trilogy
A Dark Jedi Who Worked With The Grand Admiral
There ’s already been a fair amount of set - up in recentStar Warsfor a potentialHeir to the Empireadaption , a major Legends story that ’s most likely the premise for Dave Filoni ’s ungentle New Republic movie . This includes Thrawn ’s return to the wandflower post - replication of the Jedi , Palpatine ’s cloning experiments on Mount Tantiss , the Imperial Remnant and its various warlords , Captain Pellaeon , and more elements that were originally found for Zahn’sHeir to the Empirebefore they were of late reintegrate into the canonStar Warstimeline . To that end , Joruus C’baoth stands as one of the last major pieces for a canonical adaptation .
In non - caon Legends , Joruus C’baoth was a clone of the Republic Era ’s Jedi Master Jorus C’baoth , a creation of Palpatine ’s during his attempts to create Force - sensitive clones . However , C’baoth ’s clone die insane , becoming a Dark Jedi who temporarily join forces with Thrawn and allow access code to Palpatine ’s mystical cloning facilities on Tantiss . This confederation occurred after the Grand Admiral promised C’baoth Luke Skywalker , Leia Organa , and Leia ’s unborn twins to train as his learner ( which canon could substitute with Ben Solo ) .
Star Wars Theory: Fallen Order’s Taron Malicos Could Be A Prime Canon Replacement
There’s Already A Dark Jedi on Dathomir
At the end ofAhsoka , Grand Admiral Thrawn and his new Nightsister allies are seen making their way to Dathomir . This just so come about to be the same satellite rich in the dark side whereJedi survivor Cal Kestis fought the likewise mad Dark Jedi Taron Malicosyears earlier during the Empire ’s reign ( seen in EA’sJedi : Fallen monastic order ) . Although Malicos was buried alive by the former Nightsister Merrin , there are certainly dark siders in the canyon who ’ve survived far bad . To that destruction , perhaps Thrawn ’s piece of work on Dathomir could include the uncovering of Malicos , in effect make him a replacement for C’baoth in the canon .
InFallen Order , Malicos urgently want to make Cal his prentice in the dark side . This is not unlike C’baoth ’s desire to turn the Jedi of Legends ' New Republic timeline into his own apprentices . similarly , Thrawn ’s confederation with the Nightsisters does show his interest in those who can rival the Jedi in their power through the Force . As such , perhaps Malicos could put up economic value to Thrawn ( despite not having any experience connection to cloning or Tantiss like Joruus ) .

Ahsoka Already Has Other Connections To Fallen Order
Dathomir, Nightsisters, and Kujet
It ’s also worth noting that cracking connections betweenAhsokaandFallen Orderaren’t as far - fetched as they may seem on the surface . After all , runes and wall painting find on both Arcana and Peridea cite the Zeffo inAhsoka , an ancient Force - sore race first introduced inFallen Order . Likewise , runic version specifically make mention of the sage Kujet , the Zeffo who had a temple of Dathomir . Keeping that in brain , it does lend some acceptance to the idea that Taron Malicos could become a canon substitute for Joruus in theStar Warscanon .
