How would you make a Thrawn movie/trilogy?
Seeing Solo is out and people had mixed feelings, how would you do a Thrawn movie/trilogy.
I’m guessing with the original trilogy cast getting old or are dead (R.I.P Carrie Fisher) that the Thrawn book trilogy would be a bit out of question unless there is some recasting.

I really like last year's "Thrawn" novel, good place to start for a film series.
Point is anyway how would you do it not them, also no need to crush some of our dreams
Would you maybe do a trilogy set of the novel focusing on his climb, cutting out the pryce parts as there isn't much influence to the story than when she goes to Batonn to save her parents which could just be brought in at the third movie with very little description.
Example
Him joining the empire/meeting nightswan. (1)
Chasing Nightswans trail to Paklarn, dealing with the colony and the Wookie attack on a slave camp. (2)
The battle of Batonn that got him promoted to grand admiral. (3)
You're probably right, did just take a stab of using all the Thrawn parts in the novel in a somewhat trilogy format.
Although you now got me intrigued about what a Thrawn tv series might look like and how seeing the Empire as "the good guys"
A thrawn trilogy would be the true episodes 7,8,9. Id follow the books of course.
The next best option is a TV show. And id start it just after episode 6 like the books were. The history of thrawn can all be done in flashbacks.
Didnt know if Vader and thrawn worked together often, might be interesting with the new book coming out. Wouldn’t mind that enjoyed watching him more than Phoenix squad in rebels
Don’t think so vader was around a bit in season 2 but don’t remember seeing him after that. Also from the youtube videos I’ve watched, yeah I know probably not the best sources, Vader and thrawn didn’t really like each other sought of ironic seeing that thrawn admired anakin
I kept hoping he would be choked by DV
If that's possible
But hasn't the empire been completely destroyed by that point? Would be interesting but don't know how especially since General Hux has been established as the main military leader.
I can't say that he needs a movie, let alone a trilogy since he was "introduced" in Rebels, timeline speaking.
That said, that does leave room for Thrawn in a followup trilogy.
There is definitely something occupying the same narrative space that the Yuuzhan Vong held, as the grave threat from beyond that the Chiss Ascendancy are waging a war with and tried to prepare and leverage the Empire against.
So if that's the direction the saga's going, there's definitely room to meet Old Man Thrawn in the Ascendancy.
And the rest basically writes itself
Now? The movies are the best we've gotten since the OT, the novels are genuinely good books, the comics are good, we just had a great TV series wrap up, with Resistance looking promising, Fantasy Flight has the RPG license and is supporting quite possibly my favorite system at the moment, the games... well, I like Galaxy of Heroes.
There is more quality Star Wars content coming out right now than we've had in decades.
Would love to see Timothy Zahn write the story for a Thrawn movie, didn't think the last couple of movies have been that bad, bit disappointed there wasn't more to Snoke story.
I would love to see Old Man Thrawn, but based on what I just looked up the average lifespan of a Chiss is 80 years so might be a bit of a stretch.
Basically thrawn is sherlock homes tryin to find a traitor in his ranks (empire of the hand) he finds hand of judgment and recruites them and sets up thrawn and an all out warfare thrawn campaign thar would be awesome
