It baffles me that people can't understand that Thrawn is a fan favorite.

Thrawn was ostracized from Star Wars cannon. Star Wars fan who read the books. ... eventually revived him. Star Wars fans outside of the movies.

Star Wars fan who haven't read the Thrawn Trilogy and recent Thrawn novel .

I've altered your quote to respond to the first sentence. the only addition was the bracketed "only" - for emphasis.

I think understand full well why people can't understand Thrawn as a favorite - as you basically gave all the reasons, even if you don't like them or think they should be the case.

Honestly, I don't consider Thrawn a "fan favorite" - I consider him a "Star Wars Nerd favorite" - and I don't mean that in a derogatory way - just saying that your "average" Star Wars fan (even people who consider themselves Star Wars fans) - couldn't tell you more about Thrawn than that he is Empire and has blue skin.

See, you did what I tried to dodge. I didn't want to call out movie only Star Wars fans vs "Star Wars nerd favorite." I don't want there to be this division.

What I was alluding to was, thrawn was removed from Star Wars altogether. If he wasn't a favorite, he wouldn't have been resurrected. That speaks volumes by itself.
