Thrawn: Lesser Evil ideas

Bit from a recent article:
Lesser Evil connects the remaining dots. Zahn says the very end of the new book goes directly into the beginning of Thrawn, the kickoff to his Imperial trilogy. It’s a novel about fateful choices and an array of consequences. It’s an ensemble piece, even as Thrawn evolves into the notorious figure he’s known to be. And it’s the end of Zahn’s time writing Star Wars, at least for now. Currently the author doesn’t plans to write any new Star Wars books, though he has ideas. He teases a story set 1,000 years prior that would dig into the origins of the Starflash weapon — introduced in the Ascendancy trilogy as “a wild card,” Zahn says. And there could be a reason to explore the nine-year gap once in Thrawn’s timeline once we know how he factors into the live-action Star Wars shows.

It's sad that he doesn't plan to write any more SW books, but the teasing of Starflash and the ending is a spot of hope, at least.

I think we'll see the start of Thrawn's exile, or more scenes from another POV that we've seen earlier (like Thrawn: Alliances and Chaos Rising spoilers(view spoiler)[ The scenes with Che'ri being Thrawn's pilot from the flashback plot in Alliances (hide spoiler)]
It will resolve the plot threads from Greater Good.
Someone will have to chose the lesser evil.
