Now that hes back fromStar Wars secondary galaxy, hell undoubtedly be building a close team of confidantes.
As Thrawns right-hand woman, Kane would be the perfect villain forThe Mandalorian & Grogumovie.
As Thrawns right-hand woman, Kane would be the perfect villain forThe Mandalorian & Grogumovie.
And who better to lead such an operation than Elia Kane?
Theres just one logical answer anything to do with Project Necromancer.
Her knowledge of both Pershings research and Gideons covert operations practically makes her an expert.
The Mandalorianseason 3 implied that Pershing did successfully manage to transfer midi-chlorians into a clone host.
But he doesnt need to be used in every upcoming project.
Hes a planner, the one leading the Imperial Remnant from the shadows.
In fact, the story would be better served by him only having a major role in the secondMandalorianmovie.
If hes too present inAhsokaseason 2 andThe Mandalorian & Grogu, the Imperial Remnant wont feel as threatening.
Thrawn is currently at the top of the food chain.
Other, lesser villains are now needed to fill in the gaps in the narrative.
