Star Wars Theory Explains Exactly How Thrawn's Night Troopers Came Back To Life (Fitting Canon Rules)

Grand Admiral Thrawn can have his Night Troopers brought back to life through resurrection after Ahsoka, and an intriguing Star Wars theory explains how this fits within the established canon. Thrawn's legion of undead troopers at his disposal significantly raises the stakes in his coming war against the New Republic, but at first glance, it seems to conflict with how dark magic works in Star Wars. The previous TV shows depicted Nightsister witchcraft, including resurrection spells, differently than how it is portrayed in Ahsoka. This would imply the Great Mothers in Ahsoka don't fit into Star Wars canon.

However, a clever detail hidden in plain sight may fix this problem and explain how the Great Mothers brought Thrawn's Night Troopers back to life. It adds flexibility to Nightsister magic while staying consistent with established Star Wars lore, which Ahsoka did incredibly well throughout season 1. Even so, it may also give Thrawn a disadvantage that he may not be aware of, foreshadowing how the New Republic will defeat him. It all depends on whether this Star Wars theory is true, but details in Ahsoka offer compelling evidence to support the idea.
