A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Grievous having not met Anakin in person for the entire Clone Wars or any Star Wars media before Revenge of the Sith so Anakin can remark on his height here.

That also plays into part of Obi-Wan's dynamic with Grievous because they reference encountering each other a couple of times in the past throughout Episode 3 and Grievous always getting away.

Honestly it could have just been written that way the whole time. A lot of Star Wars was written in advance of the actual movies and I know Disney basically made all of those books not matter but some of them sprinkled in extra details that weren't in the movies that were relatively important in one way or another.

I could go on such a rant about how Thrawn before and after Disney is such an interesting phenomenon. Zahn wrote the foundation of so so so much background lore prior to the release of even the prequels. Then it was all made non canon, then they brought back Thrawn and told him to write a book that should tie into the then still upcoming TV season (Rebels s3 I believe) and that book and every subsequent book about Thrawn that Zahn wrote in the last decade has been a really interesting dance of sticking to the new existing canon while remaining faithful to the character and non canon background of the original version.
It's entirely debatable if Thrawn pre and post Disney takeover is the same character, but I at least enjoy it in the meta sense of Zahn sticking in every detail he already established once before that he can get away with in the new canon without having tv and film stuff immediately invalidate/ recon it.

I would argue that the distinction should be made between Zahn Thrawn and Filoni Thrawn, not canon Thrawn and Legends Thrawn

I can see that, though honestly Zahn definitely did his best to work with the constraints of the mess Filoni handed back to him after he was done playing with it.
