pretty new to the rebels space so I’m sure this connection has been made, but!! here’s a “History Has Its Eyes on You” animatic
okay this is random but like i get a kick out of how maul and thrawn are such POLAR OPPOSITE star wars villain vibes. i mean maul literally lives off of hot hot vengeance and shakespearean mystery force drama every SECOND of his life whereas thrawn tries to disattach and observe and actually think before going feral. they even have completely contrasting looks (blue in white, red in black). and yet. AND YET. maul is also a great POLITICAL strategist in his own way (the kind of strategy that continually eludes thrawn). literally the ONLY common ground is that they both have voices smoother than war crimes and vain lies to the emperor. they could never even have been in the same bad guy conference room in star wars because their energies would have canceled each other out and ripped open the fabric of star wars reality.
