Grand Admiral Thrawn was created by Timothy Zahn in his novel Star Wars: Heir to the Empire, published in 1991. Zahn’s first three Star Wars novels eventually became known as "The Thrawn Trilogy" by fans and formed the cornerstone of what is now considered the Star Wars Legends universe. He most recently appeared on the Disney XD animated series Star Wars Rebels, voiced by Lars Mikkelsen, brother of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story star Mads Mikkelsen.
Star Wars: Thrawn is set to release on 2018 from Marvel Comics.
