Complete History of the Grand Admirals 

Glad to work on these videos with you! I really enjoyed editing this one

Now that's one lucky job there, dude/ma'am!

You know you've finally made it on your lore channel when you have an editor, congrats haha

Underrated is one hell of an overstatement, honestly.

Love the warlord era. Wish we got more pentastar alignment stuff. The greater maldrood was a total joke though.

Oh, you poor bastard. Disappointed yet? I am.

Cool

It's too bad they managed to completely fuck up an already written character and story arc.

Did the movies themselves not get you into starwars?? 😅

Amen man, He is amazing.

Yes Zsinj was given the rank of warlord which another comment pointed out was a person who held military and political command. I think something similar to a head of state. It apparently is like a mix between Grand Admiral which is military with some political power and Grand Moff which is political with some military power. (Though moffs and grand moffs like Tarkin did have some significant military control.)

@@mill2712 I know that. I just wanted to see another grand admiral do something besides Thrawn.

At least he nails the look.

that’s be a pretty big downgrade honestly. He was a Grand Moff, right?

@Theology.101 If I’m remembering correctly he held the rank of Warlord, cause for some reason it was actually a rank

@@justintaylor1713 Yeah Thrawn had the title too. Warlord of the Empire means someone who had control over both the military and civilian infrastructure

In all fairness as far as admirals go Ackbar is kinda just average, so is that really a testament to Syn’s skill or Ackbar being just unable to compete on an even playing field?

That would be interesting. What's sin does Thrawn embody?

@@enclaveherewhyisntyourvide3089 Thrawn is one of the exceptions. I see it that way: Grant - pride Tigellinus - greed Takel - lust - gluttony Pitta - envy Grunger - wrath Batch - sloth

thrawn is absolutely pride, fucker gets killed because he never considered his deception on the oppression of the noghiri to ever be his downfall or at least consider it a danger to him while he was pretty content with having rukh around he was never dumb or blinded by pride to a cartoony level but he has his flaws

@@kR-qj7rw The deception of the Noghri started long before he had part in it. He continued it for pragmatic reasons and not for pride.

It was the first time they really had someone from the Emperors own Circle and they wanted to show to their members that the New Republic had a Judicial system that would deal with Imperials harshly and not just use them for backdoor intelligence and favors.

The best times😢😊

Well one offed himself though.

i mean why not, if they dont have any use or hes unwilling to cooperate why keep a esentially space nazi high comand alive

IIRC Thrawn, Takel, Makati, Grunger, Pitta, Syn, Grant and Pellaeon. Thrawn can be a leader for the Imperial Remnant, Pellaeon can be a leader for the Imperial faction that forms Dark Empire, Makati and Takel appear as heroes for the Imperial Remnant, Grunger can appear as a hero for any Imperial faction (he is one of the "smaller" warlords, integrable through the political tab), Pitta and Syn are independent warlords and Grant starts off as a hero for the Pentastar Alignment, but in later era starts he can be recruited by the New Republic through the political tab

@@HonestHappyHater Thanks I was wondering how many grand admirals I can gather and play with as IR

@@vjisa328 Recently some heroes got "warlord" tags, which means thaf they have to be killed in order for a faction to be integrated. I'm not sure if Grant and Syn got those tags, but if they didn't, then with some hustle the Imperial Remnant could integrate all of them except Danetta Pitta at some point. As Imperial Remnant progress to Thrawn, integrate the Pentastar Alingment without killing Grant, allow Greater Maldrood to capture Kashyyyk before anyone else (if they do that, they'll get Pecatti Syn as a hero), defeat Greater Maldrood without killing Syn, integrate Josef Grunger through minor warlords integration (purely RNG-based), form Dark Empire and progress all the way to Pellaeon

@@HonestHappyHater I noticed that Tekel, Tigellinus and couple of grand moffs are on Kessel. Can I get both when I conquer Kessel ?

@@vjisa328 Ok, I've checked a few things. As IR you can have Octavian Grant, Pecatti Syn, Mitlin Takel, Rufaan Tigellinus, Afsheen Makati, Josef Grunger, Mitth'raw'nuruodo and Giliad Pellaeon. The good news is Grant and Syn are not "warlords", so you can integrate them by letting GM take Kashyyyk and then integrating GM and PA without killing the two admirals. The bad news is, Grunger is still 100% RNG. The even worse news is that you can't do a grand reunion of the grand admirals, as you can't have them all at once. Rufaan Tigellinus and Mitlin Takel are mutually exclusive with Afsheen Makati. Two first ones are obtainable by deposing Sate Pestage in favor of Trioculus, while the last one will join you if you back Ysanne Isard instead. The only way to get Thrawn is to have him overthrow either Isard or Trioculus (whichever you helped to take control), but Tigellinus will die if Trioculus is deposed. To get Pellaeon you need to just form the Dark Empire, get rid of Sidious, get rid of Carnor Jax, get rid of Natasi Daala and you'll get him as grand admiral. You'll get the most grand admirals if you back Trioculus against Pestage and form Dark Empire without recalling Thrawn from Unknown Regions, but then you'll be missing out on Thrawn

well to keep thrawn unique the writers had to slowly dull out his competition, which i guess makes sense but it just makes them not tht diferent from one off imperial captains in stories

I think you misunderstood. Hux is not the Grand Admiral. Brendol Hux was not just called out, but was physically in the show as a character. He was only from the books before, and was from the books which Rae Sloane was in. It would be impossible to get that character without someone involved also knowing who Sloane was. That's why I specifically mentioned him when discussing the possibility of the writers knowing who she was.

@CoreysDatapad And I think you misunderstand. I am not saying Hux was a Grand Admiral, no where in my short comment did I even allud to him being one. My whole point is that the show writers do not care about the other source material. Which Dave himself has proven over and over. He made a whole book irrelevant and changing how a character survived Order 66. And more relevant to this video, Rae Sloano only really being mentioned as a Grand Admiral in the aftermath books and the Squadron video games.

​@@sethmiles9436 You're proposing they made the Aftermath books irrelevant by replacing a character from the Aftermath books with another character from the Aftermath books?

I have so much love for the Rebel Assault games, though when I play Im full on nostalgia goggles. Also the Phantom is my favorite fighter in Star Wars and Star Wars Armada recanonized them a few years ago so im waiting to see them back in canon.

The whole point of the Stealth x is that id had so many reduced systems that it needed a force sensitive pilot. kinda limits it to jedi

@@JJJBunney001 That's exactly it. Such a limitation makes it quite lackluster and a bit too biased against Muggle pilots, who also deserve to have specialized craft like this.

He was only a Fleet Admiral I believe

he wasnt really a character until well after the thrawn trilogy, he was really just thrawns 2IC and a way for the reader to be bamboozled by thrawns asspulling tactics. so disney hasnt changed or ruined him at all

found the rebel scum appologist.@@JJJBunney001

ignoring the 12 year old rant about didney dumb and you misspelling his name (lmao) Gilad Pellaeon was a confused yes man to thrawn in the original triilogy of books he served as a representation of the old empire and dumber imperial commanders, most of the times he would say something and thrawn woulld go tsk tsk Pellaeon that strategy is whack you see using my 5 D chess brain im gonna tell you how to lay a better strategy, to Pellaeon being like yes sir that and him being on edge and nervous around both Rukh and specially C'baoth insane wizard that constantly threatened to kill both
