While Thrawn being in the cartoon 'Rebels' makes him an official part of the SW universe (i.e. he's canon), it does not make him a fan favorite. I think you seriously overestimate the popularity of the cartoons.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised at all that CG releases him into the game. After all, they did give us other 'fan favorites' like Bistan and Pao.
Thanks for putting words in my mouth about Bistan and Pao. I never mentioned them nor did I ever allude to them as such.
To me, Thrawn is not a huge deal. I am not big on the Expanded Universe content and focus mainly on canon content. However it is clear to me from time on the forums and on Reddit that Thrawn is a fan favorite as he gets a lot more mention as "missing" from the game than most. I know he seems to be much more popular than Jango Fett who is huge in terms of canon, and while I do not see his name as much as Jedi Luke (obviously) and Bossk, he and Embo are two that have caught my attention as having more following than I ever expected.
