Unveiling Captain Pellaeon in The Mandalorian
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Gizmodo

The latest episode of The Mandalorian introduced Captain Gilad Pellaeon, a character from the old Expanded Universe who was Thrawn's second-in-command in his campaign to defeat the New Republic. Pellaeon's appearance in the show suggests that Thrawn may also make an appearance in the future. While Pellaeon's fate in the current canon is uncertain, his presence could provide fertile ground for Star Wars to explore the entanglement of the Empire's past and the First Order's future.
