I love the fact that Thrawn in the New Canon was mostly written by the same author who wrote most of his Legends stories, Timothy Zahn. It's also quite fascinating how Zahn also gave Thrawn's story in the new canon a slightly different approach, like his exile and affiliation to the Empire being now something he and his species previously planned

Thrawn's character in Rebels was the first time I was ever creeped out by a cartoon so I'm really glad to see him live action, played by the same actor.

I’m glad we’re finally getting a live-action version of a Chiss. I’ve been waiting to see them in a live-action Star Wars series.

8:34 In both Canon and Legends, Sy Bisti is not the native language of the Chiss. It's a trade language used in the Unknown Regions, and some Chiss, like Thrawn and Ar'alani, used it to communicate with other species. The Chiss native language is called Cheunh.

Thrawn only wanted to save the galaxy and the Chiss from the Yuuzhan Vong. The entire galaxy must have missed him during the invasion.

8:35 Correction: Sy Bisti is not Chiss language. It's Thrawn's 3rd language, a common dialect used by merchants in the Wild Space.

Thrawn has been a favorite of mine since I read the book series in the 90s. For me, he's the #3 villain in Star Wars, and I was excited when he became cannon in Rebels. I can't wait to see how they portray him in live action!

Hope Mara Jade will be also re-canonized one day. If Thrawn came back, why she shouldn't do the same?!

Thrawn isn't really a "villain" anymore if you've read the new canon books, he's essentially only working for the Empire to make sure they never become a threat to the Chiss. He even tries to minimized casualties or being cutthroat unless it happens to coincide with keeping his true intentions hidden

Nice! I'm so thrilled to finally watch him in live action after all these years

As a starter this was much needed coz I don't know much about Star Wars so this videos are much needed for the beginners like me.

I first came to know Thrawn as a kid playing the old strategy pc game Rebellion. From there I read online about him and then read the Timothy Zahn novels. I was bummed when Disney erased the EU but was excited when they came out with the Thrawn book series written by Zahn himself. Then he appeared in Rebels which greatly appeased me.

disney: all works outside the movies are NOT CANON, they don't exist years later... disney: you see, *WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO CREATE NEW ORIGINAL SW CONTENT"* , so we're gonna use the old works, ... and now introducing fresh, original, never-seen-before and really totally NEW CONTENT for everyone to enjoy. very fresh. very ORIGINAL.

Andor gave us hope that Disney can do this series justice

I read the original Thrawn trilogy when it first came out. The only Star Wars novel series I love(mainly read the comics), and was super excited when Thawn appeared in season 3 of Rebels. So can't wait for his live action appearance.

The fact he is played by the same guy has me even more hyped than I already am after ep4.

If they will do him right then it will be a pleasure to watch. His book version is 10/10, Rebels version 7,5/10.

Correction, Andor is the best live action Star Wars, possibly ever.

He is more Moriarty than Sherlock.

Ty for another amazing episode

great job on that video man 100% done right got urself a sub

Thrawn is one of my favorite Star Wars character 😎👍🎬

Thanks for the info 👍 Awesome narrative 👏

I love his canon version more especially after listening to all 6 audio books

Can you do the history of magneto, zorro, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen

The Grand Admiral is my favourite character in all Star Wars. First saw him in rebels as a kid (still am, but I'm older now 😅) then read the comic series in this vid

Great summary! May the force be with you and long live the Empire! ;)

The Chiss Ascendancy trilogy is a “must read” as well as the books that come after the “Thrawn” book. He comes across much better than in the Heir to the Empire trilogy

I highly recommend reading the Zahn books Heir to the empire. Amazing series, and I really do hope they can make a trilogy series of them.

Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Kurt Connors the Lizard. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?

I just hope the Thrawn Trilogy movies aren’t ruined by Disney. IMO the Thrawn trilogy should’ve been the true Episodes 7-9 and it would’ve given the franchise a chance to truly reboot with new actors, who look like the main characters, and carry it forward.

Andor is the best live action Disney has produced

Thrones “it was so artistically done relates to his own death and the way that everything was moved against him and is him appreciating that he has been out thought an out maneuvered

What do you think Grand Admiral Thrawn would be like if he was able to shoot lightning like Palpatine?

Great merch

Thrawn made an appearance in xwing vs tie fighter video game as well. I believe it was the Tie Defender expansion CD to be exact.

Outside the 6 episodes nothing else should be considered canon

I loved the thrown books

This man is awesome 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Andor and Asshoka are fantastic. Boba and the last season of Mando stunk but Feloni killing it.

So how long till you do history of Arno_Stark Iron Man, Ezekiel Stane, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, War Machine and Pepper Potts AKA Rescue?

thank you

Just got around to watching the episode last night. Was disappointed. Didn't expect a chubby Thrawn, must have been eating good while stranded.

Legends

Everybody else, as far as leader ship, is concerned in the empire is villainess or evil. The Thrawn is a superior gentleman. I believe that he has the ability to make the empire look like the good guys and that’s why he is feared by the rebels.

He secretly masquerades as Papa Smurf...la la, la la la

I petition that Force Awakens, Last Jedi, and Rise Of Skywalker be re-numbered episodes 10,11,12 since the shows are covering what should have been 7-9

I need to rewatch rebels, but I wish they’d kept his personality more to the books. He’s not a bad guy really, he tries to avoid unnecessary casualties and he’s never cruel. He’s just on the antagonists side. I do wonder since the empire collapsed, if he’d still be on their side because all he really wants is an alliance against the Nikardun

What do you think is the best thing about Grand Admiral Thrawn in Star Wars Rebels and what do you think he's going to be like in the upcoming Ashoka_Tano Disney Plus show? Are we going to see what happened to Ezra Bridger?

I first saw him in the 90s video game Tie Fighter

Thrawn is the SUPREME villain. I love your reference to batman as I've made to on numerous occasions when arguing his greatness.

Thrawn is like the Riddler of Star Wars

Hope Asoka doesn’t do Thrawn injustice

The art in that Thrawn miniseries is beautiful. Who penciled it?

How long till you do history of the Thunderbolts and the Young Avengers since they're slowly forming in the MCU?

Since you did history of Marvel's Black Knight, Can you do history of Marvel's Dreadknight? If you seen the recent episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?

Andor is the best Star Wars content since empire. Nothing comes close to how good that is, as art.

I hope we get Darth Krayt and Cade Skywalker in the future

Andor was way better than Mandalorian.

This dude is badass...

What is up with the voice actors from Star Wars Rebels bringing their characters to live action? First Ashoka_Tano and now Grand Admiral Thrawn

Thrawn, top Four!

Are you going to cover Night Terrors??

When are we getting a Starkiller video? 👀

Thank you for explaining him!

He’s move of a anti-hero in the recent novels.

I was hoping this was heading towards the Vong and New Jedi Order

IF ONLY THRAWN BECAME THE EMPEROR!

When are you going to do history of Clea, America-Chavez, Speed and Wiccan in honour of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?

"Whatever happens next happens to both of us."

Question is rumor true about new big bad beetleborg comic coming boom studios true ?

Thrawn looks like a blue skinned Data, feels like a disaster in the making.

So when we getting a Darth Plagueis series

LETS GO

Admiral Thrawn is arguably one of the most intelligent and ruthless villains in all of Star Wars besides Sidious, Tarkin, and Vader. I can imagine if Thrawn returned to power, he would've lead a manhunt to find Luke Skywalker. in Thrawn's mind, Luke is the only threat that stands in his way.

What type of villain is Grand Admiral Thrawn compared to other Star Wars villains apart from being a strategist?

I was curious why he liked his translater so much beats me?

correction it was not in the comic it was a book. the comic is based on the book. same bookwriter for i think every book thrawn is in i cant think of one it isnt.

"Thrawn is one of the best villains in the series" Lord Vader would have words with you.

Anyone find purple space whales that help fight, ridiculous?

🎉🎉

Thrawn: "What can I do for you, Pellaeon?" Pellaeon: "Well, sir...I was thinking about our attack to recover Coruscant. About the millions of beings that will perish in the attack" Thrawn: "Is it any problem with that?" Pellaeon: "We are making this military campaign in order to create a powerfull government that will protect the galaxy from the Far Outsiders. But...If we kill all this people, what's the point of all of this?" Thrawn: "Listen, Pellaeon. If we don't attack Coruscant, the planet will suffer a far worse attack from the Far Outsiders in the future and the weak New Republic will unable to repel them. All these things we are doing are for the greater good." Pellaeon: "Even if that means destroying the most populated planet in the galaxy in cold blood?" Thrawn: "Sometimes, cold blood is the key to salvation Anyway, I am having dinner right now. Would you mind if we continue this conversation later?" Pellaeon: "I...No, sir" *Leaves the room in which Thrawn is dinning* Thrawn: "Would you mind passing me the salt, Thrass?" *Thrawn then realizes he is completely alone, grabs himself the salt and continues with his dinner*

I don't like the fact that Thrawn was defeated by a Deus Ex Machina, and in the book (Thrawn, the novel version of the comics mentioned here) he hates waste, so he doesn't kill civilians unnecessarily. I didn't get that vibe from Rebels and towards the last season, he became generic, which is a shame as I liked the how Thrawn acted during his introduction. Ultimately I was hoping his loss to come from his subordinates, as that was how he fell in legends, and not some arbitrary space whales that showed up in one episode and we never heard of them ever again until the season finale.

Rex better be in the show

Read the Ascendecy and Thrawn series guys. The comics don't do this guy justice imo.

If they make Sabine a force user im out. Shes an awesome character and we don’t need or want that crap

How did thrAwn know he was akiaine

I say both .❤

Cousin of that one Star Trek guy?

I've never been anything like a Star Wars fanatic, but I enjoyed Force Awakens immensely. VIII is mediocre and IX was completely forgettable. I'm really enjoying all the Disney+ Star Wars content coming out so far, some better than others.

The “canon” version seems so much worse than the 90’s book version

Thrawn is by far the Alpha Male of Star wars Franchise

bro im confused how could thrawn and ezra survive the rebels finale

Were is hero its mando star crush😕

i would put the first 3 Ahsoka up against anything right now... so far.

"Best Live-Action content".... and that makes Andor the Bestest Live-Action content?

6 so close

Thrawn the missing avatar

i hope he wins.
