Cover art by Tsuyoshi Nagano. “Star Wars: The New Essential Chronology,” Japanese edition. February, 2006.
The Japanese edition of “Star Wars: The New Essential Chronology” depicted a saga-spanning collection by artist Tsuyoshi Nagano. In the Christmas 2015 issue of ImagineFX magazine, Nagano had these memories, “I like Mara Jade a lot, so my drawings of her tend to be full body. Her costume was created using the comics as a reference. Grand Admiral Thrawn’s skin and Mara Jade’s lightsaber match, while Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda’s lightsabers are the same green, to keep the painting engaging.”

ID: three drawing of Mara Jade from the star wars expanded universe. She is portrayed as a Black woman, with midtoned skin and dark red curly hair. In the first drawing she is smiling and tilting her head slightly to one side, as though she is endeared by something off screen. Her hair is in a puff in the back, with curls visible from the front
In the second drawing she is in profile, looking at something to the side, she has a neutral expression and her hair is in dreadlocks.
The third and final drawing is the largest, it cuts off at her knees. She has a focused expression on her face and has her body turned to the side, as though she is turning away from the viewer, while her head is still in 3/4s view. She wears a black tank top, beige pants, and a belt with several layers, along with two white necklaces.
All three drawing are somewhat messy, with many halftones, cross hatching, and white outlines around each drawing.
END ID
Woah!? Mara Jade!

I’m seeing many people feel that Thrawn isn’t portrayed as he is in the more recent canon novels (more pro-empire, less focus on the Chiss). Perhaps. However, this line sticks outs to me “the security of our galaxy” (including Chiss space). He knows that the Empire (or the Imperial Remnants) could be better at protecting the galaxy than the New Republic, hence the need to take the helm and reestablish imperial order. Some others are also pointing out that he says “long live the Empire” as opposed to something about the Chiss - but why would he want to bring attention to the Chiss? They’ve been isolated off in the Chaos and don’t need the rest of the galaxy trying to get there (plus their own possible civil war?). I still think this is our Thrawn from the EU/canon books and Rebels. Looking forward to this! May warrior’s fortune be ever in your favour!
