This is part of why I never liked the Dathomir story - it is too much like magic. Also making Thrawn dumb is a huge disservice to his character (whose whole threat always was that he generally was the smartest person in the room).

I am comparing the Thrawn in Zahn's trilogy to Rebels and then this Thrawn.

Zahn's Thrawn is the smartest no contest. Brilliant strategist and long term thinker and also not really a full Empire supporter - he was much more about his homeworld and people. Rebels Thrawn was also pretty clever but definitely more of a dedicated Empire supporter. Ahsoka Thrawn just seems to be a groupie of the Dathomir witches (who should never have been inserted into Star Wars) who may or may not have some kind of plan to resurrect dead Dathomir but little else. I think part of the problem was waiting until Episode 6 to get to him. The show was too slow in many respects so that by the time we met the important characters there was insufficient time to both develop them and finish the story.

no.. why would they JUST now announce production updates, like cast changes, if it were cancelled?

the only thing cancelled/ not renewed is the acolyte. skeleton crew SEEMS on its way to be been given a 2nd season as well, though i am not yet seeing why

There were a few articles about it and they are still up like this explaining that it was cancelled.

that article is saying that it is likely there will be nothing after S2

its cleverly crafted. words to meet the click baitey type headline

screenrant and others, does this, they will take a fact- like, there IS going to be a S2, then make a headline around there not going to be something there was never a plan to have- like a S3 of Ahsoka and make it appear to sow doubt about S2

Hopefully they improve the pacing this time - the first season was slow as sludge for a lot of it then suddenly had to accelerate to breakneck pace and still didn't get the story told fully.
