Thrawn came entirely from the books. The hype would not have existed for his appearance in the show had the books he was in been on the quality level of the sequels.
Hell, the sequels should have been based on the Thrawn trilogy
I still think Disney would make bank if they’d just declare Legends a separate canon, re-cast Han, Luke, and Leia with up and comers, and start adapting old EU novels.
They all had a stamp of approval from George Lucas though. Once Disney bought the franchise they said fuck all that and made it “not cannon”.
More importantly, they had someone dedicated to maintaining the canon and keeping the various authors from contradicting each other too much
good some of those books were worse than fanfiction

They need to do the Republic Commando novels and they need to finally make the Starwars 1313 game. I will never not be salty about that.
thrawn was already in star wars rebels and pretty sure hes getting a movie or show
I am doubtful as to the number of those books George actually read.
