Loved it so far! Can only imagine how people who haven't watched Rebels are dealing, though.
Sad that Thrawn is where he is, though, as that almost certainly rules out what I was hoping to see in the series (being vague for spoiler reasons).

Thrawn being in a completely separate galaxy pretty much rules out the idea of the Grysks being part of the story, and Ahsoka + Spectres would need to team up with him to defeat them in an enemy-of-my-enemy sort of situation.Given what I’ve heard about Zahn’s involvement (or lack thereof), I have rather low hopes for Thrawn’s character in this one. Best to expect a more typical villain Thrawn and be very surprised if he’s more than just another adversary.
I’ll admit that the first couple episodes have me slightly more optimistic, but only because I can see the “heir” references being a red herring and merely the expectations of those who only see the Imperial. Probably not though.
I have all my fingers crossed that we'll see a more agreeable, Zahn verstion of Thrawn, instead of just a ruthless, ends justify the means kind of character.
