Ahsoka
Summary
TheAhsokaseason 1 finale has formally broughtGrand Admiral Thrawnback to the mainStar Warsgalaxy , but a new theory foreshadow he ’s the real reasonthe New Republicfailed . The New Republic era ofStar Warshas mostly gone undiscovered compare to other eras of the galaxy , but the train ofStar WarsDisney+ TV shows by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni has started to change that . It ’s eff from the sequelStar Warstrilogy that the New Republic government was specify to fall , but there have been wind at the young regime ’s glare failures fifteen years before the New Republic is decimate by the First Order .
Grand Admiral Thrawn was one of the best , if not the best , strategists in the Empire , and was one of the highest - grade non - humans . Thrawn ’s best asset was his patience , which often grant his opposition to make a misunderstanding and show their cards . Thrawn was originally introduced in Timothy Zahn ’s legend bookHeir to the Empire , and he was reintroduced into canon inStar WarsRebelsseason 3 , where he transude many of the same trait as the original version of the eccentric . Considering Thrawn ’s report as an expert strategist , he may be the one who begin dismantling the New Republic government .
The New Republic Era is a abbreviated period of astronomical history , but it ’s vitally important to Star Wars . Here are all the key galactic events !
Mon Mothma Was The Glue That Held The New Republic Together
One of the New Republic ’s neat strength was its leader , Mon Mothma . Mothma was a extremity of the Senate during the Republic and Imperial era and was actively working against Palpatine even during the Clone Wars . Mothma would go on to be a leader in the Rebellion and was key to their success . After win the war against the Empire , Mothma took on the purpose of Chancellor , and directly backpedaled on some of Palpatine ’s net acts as Chancellor . One of these was the emergency powers granted to him by the Senate when the Clone Wars began . This extra world power was one of the things that finally allow Palpatine to become Emperor .
It ’s not known incisively when Mon Mothma step down as Chancellor of the New Republic , but it ’s sometime after the events ofAhsokaseason 1 , which shoot place around 12 ABY - or 12 years after the result ofA New Hope . The next known Chancellor is Lanever Villecham , who earned his title just two year before the case of the sequelStar Warstrilogy and the destruction of the New Republic politics . It ’s unreadable , however , how many Chancellors there were between Mothma and Villecham , but audience may discover more as the era is explored . Without Mon Mothma at the helm of the New Republic , it was more susceptible to the wage increase of the First Order , and its prostration seemed inevitable .
Mon Mothma had the New Republic ’s capitol move planet every few years , one of which included her homeworld of Chandrila .
Grand Admiral Thrawn Could Be The Reason Mon Mothma Steps Down
While the future tense of the New Republic geological era is n’t entirely open , it seems another war is inevitable with Thrawn back in the mainStar Warsgalaxy . Considering Thrawn essentially snuck back into the galaxy right under Mon Mothma ’s and the New Republic ’s noses , call could be made for the leader to step down . It would be one of Mothma ’s vainglorious failures as a leader , and it would most definitely be seen as scandalous . to boot , senators such as Hamato Xiono are exceptionally outspoken about things they dissent with , meaning he or someone like him could call for a voter turnout of no self-confidence .
It ’s also possible that Mothma steps down due to illness . In the LegendsJedi Academytrilogy , Mon Mothma was poisoned by imperial beard after their licking , and this may be another aspect of Legends that Dave Filoni brings into canon . Filoni has already been lento reintroduce aspects of Legends back intoStar Warscanon , most notably starting with Thrawn himself , which makes this possibility even more likely . The stress of running the galaxy and being poisoned by her opposition could lead Mon Mothma to retire and step down as Chancellor , at long last leave the New Republic weaker in her backwash .
Without Mon Mothma, The New Republic’s Fate Was Sealed
Mon Mothma had live through and been a part of two fail government system , mean she hump how to and how not to execute the New Republic authorities . Without her vast knowledge and experience , it seemed the New Republic was destined to fail . Even if Mon Mothma were to relay all of her cognition to her successor , they could n’t have oversee the New Republic government like she could . The way she was able to bring one amidst division , as see in Claudia Gray ’s 2016 novelBloodline , was something no other politico or leader could ever recreate - not even Leia Organa herself . In her absence , the weaknesses already seen in titles such asThe MandalorianandAhsokawill continue to be exploit by role player like Thrawn until the regime finally falls .
