But What About Rae Sloane?
Sloane survived the destruction of the first Shadow Council, and her absence from this second one is certainly telling—especially with the appearance of Brendol Hux, who she escaped with to the Unknown Regions. What’s currently known of Sloane in canon after the events of the Battle of Jakku is little more than the fact that she became one of the first major leaders of the rebuilt Imperial military that would terrorize the galaxy decades later as the First Order. What happened to her during its prominence and eventual destruction at Exegol is unknown.
If Hux Sr. is working with Gideon’s Shadow Council, there’s certainly a chance she could be operating in a similar manner to Pellaeon’s relationship to Thrawn for the group—influencing its duties from even further in the shadows, instead of playing a direct role. Time, and other Star Wars streaming shows, will no doubt tell.
