With Grand Admiral Thrawn returning to the galaxy, it looks like Heir to the Empire, a major story from Star Wars, is getting a canon retelling. Here's what the story suggests.
This theory puts Taron Malicos, from Jedi: Fallen Order, as a canon replacement for Joruus C'baoth, from the Thrawn Trilogy, in the Star Wars canon. Taron Malicos was a Dark Jedi who ended up a Dark Side Apprentice, a real threat to the Jedi Order.
Heir to the Empire introduced Joruus C'baoth, who had the power of a Dark Jedi and fought alongside Thrawn! With the current retelling, there may be room for Taron Malicos, who could play a similar role.
Ahsoka, the live-action series featuring Rosario Dawson, shows the continuing saga of Grand Admiral Thrawn and how he's trying to rebuild the Empire! While Ahsoka did reveal the Heir to the Empire inspiration, and how Thrawn will be featured in a future film. A key point of the theory revolves around Thrawn’s interest in the power of the Force and dark siders! His ties to Dathomir could see him discovering Malicos.
You can connect both of these shows via Zeffo, a powerful and ancient Force-sensitive race from Jedi: Fallen Order! You'll be able to find them mentioned in Ahsoka, which gives a connection between both stories.
