Thrawn’s voice actor is Lars Mikkelsen, brother of Mads Mikkelsen (Rogue One, Dr Strange). A tremendous talent, and really captures the essence of Thrawn
The character himself was created by author Timothy Zahn in the Heir to the Empire trilogy - a historically, massively significant book trilogy released in 1991. It was the first post-ROTJ story fans got and its an EPIC read, highly recommended. Decannonized with the Disney purchase, but the legacy carries on
I won’t spoil his plans of course but his goal was stated in this episode during his convo with Pryce; he knows Phoenix squadron is a single Rebel cell. Then, Hera told Sabine the y-wings were going to General Dodonna who was working for another part of the rebellion. Rewatching these scenes provides the clues about where this season is going. Rest assured, a thrawn is a top tier antagonist.
FYI - chopper was remote piloting the y-wings. A few got destroyed in the battle to escape, as they only got 5 out
