The comic book miniseries, Star Wars: Thrawn, serves as a canon adaptation of the novel of the same name. Marvel Comics published it, with writing handled by Jody Houser and illustrations by Luke Ross. Its release spanned from February 14, 2018 to July 11, 2018. This limited series unfolds in the timeline between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, directly preceding Star Wars: Rebels season 3 with Steps Into Shadow (episodes 3.01 and 3.02). It chronicles the life of Mitth'raw'nuruodo, or Thrawn, as he ascends the hierarchy of the Galactic Empire, encountering both allies and enemies along the way.
As an adaptation of Timothy Zahn's 2017 novel, Thrawn, the Star Wars: Thrawn comic book miniseries is set in the period between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. The narrative delves into the progression of Grand Admiral Thrawn within the Galactic Empire, paving the way for his introduction in Star Wars Rebels, which marked the character's initial canon appearance. Jody Houser, the writer behind the comic adaptation of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is responsible for the comic's script, while Luke Ross, an artist with experience on various Star Wars projects, created the artwork. Marvel Comics began publishing the miniseries on a monthly basis starting in February 2018.
