Thrawn Meets Morgan Elsbeth | Star Wars Clips 

If you can’t beat them… join them

If this fact were to somehow be exposed to the Great Mothers of Peridea, then that's the dealbreaker which could motivate the Great Mothers to betray/assassinate Thrawn.

Palpatine viewed them as a threat. Maul knew palpatine was controlling both the empire and separatist at the time thus he said. Everyone else in the galaxy besides the jedi, maul and other exceptional individuals did not know palpatine at the time was controlling the separatists and used them to attack dathomir.

@@topnotchshinobi Thrawn: "It wasn't me! It wasn't me!"

@@maksymilianziele28 A valid rebuttal, though “guilt by association” is a compelling enough motive, regardless.

Here he is an admiral. How was this his lowest point? I would think his lowest point was when he was a lieutenant on the gozanti class cruiser blood crow or when he was commanding the thunder wasp. Those who hated him because he was an alien used every dirty political trick to keep him down but they failed because he is the kind of man who turns misfortune into opportunity. Had he not been sent away at the end of rebels the rebellion would have been done for.

@@bman3794 by lowest point, I mean he wasn't that famous as an Admiral now. After all, he was the one who became the main antagonist in rebels, and he was mentioned in the mandalorian series to return and lead the empire/new order to a new era probably.

Admiral is not really the lowest point of his career. Admiral is actually a pretty damn high ranking

@@markushaahr9194 I didn't say anything about his rank. I said career. He wasn't that famous until the beginning of the rebellion. I mean, did u see his ranking colours on his chest? I have not seen that on anyone else except him and Tarkin, which means he is the big deal. But here in this scene, he doesn't. And I might recall he became Grand Admiral, which also means he stands above all admirals. And also outranks Grand Moff Tarkin. : )

Being an Admiral is still a great honor, but becoming Grand Admiral, something that only Palpatine, who mind you is Xenophobic, has the authority to select, was the moment Thrawn became true Heir to the Empire

what is the name of the ost??

@@Ropkiller2005Thrawn’s Arrival by Kevin Kiner

@@GeneralGrevious330 thank you

Let's be real, Thrawn is too smart to be on your side or anyone else's not worth his while.

@@EmptyMan000 very true

A shame that the Empire at its peak didn't fully recognize/appreciate Thrawn's potential; hopefully, the (now humbled and currently not taking orders from Palpatine/Vader) Remnant (along with some new magical assistance from the Nightsisters) will give Thrawn the edge he needs to finally achieve what his Legends counterpart couldn't (bring the New Republic to its knees, and force a surrender/capitulation). Sure, we know the New Republic survives long enough to still be present by the time of the ST's beginnings, but who's to say that they didn't get overthrown briefly by Thrawn's occupational forces? (e.g. during the upcoming "Mandoverse" crossover event movie)

Long live the empire

You referring to Admiral Versio? Cuz I felt that he was a little blinded by loyalty to the empire, but he saw it for what it was. He was still loyal to the empire, but he saw Palpatine's empire was weak and self-destructive. He had his daughter live because he knew he was as big a contributor to it's failings as well.

No, he is the best mind in the Empire

In legends, canon thrawn is a fool.

@@redisb2556 well there is also Vader and some other individuals like tage and thrawn

@@javierlopez9789 this isn't Ashoka in the thrawn comics he is very intelligent also rebels and tales of the empire

Don't forget Canon thrawn created the tie defender don't care what tales of empire says it was established in rebels and the comics and he even has the support of Vader

The Emperor didn't send him

@@andrewcundill3660 I highly doubt that. In Rebels, both the Emperor and Tarkin supported Thrawn's TIE Defender program over the Death Star until Thrawn disappeared.

Admirals in the Empire had full autonomy unless they were to make decisions that would require a higher ranking official. This type of task was beneath the Emperor's time.

@@HolyknightVader999 This is much later.

@@HolyknightVader999Palpatine never would’ve sent thrawn to find her unless it was absolutely important. The tie defender wasn’t important till thrawn made it so and the rebellion already formed

This is called lobbying

Yet they originally favored the TIE Defender project and would've chosen it over the Death Star if it wasn't for Thrawn's operations being destroyed by the Phoenix Squadron.

I think Sidious, megalomaniac that he was, favoured the Death Star because it fed his power fantasy. He had long abandoned subtlety in his quest for power and was by then more of an addict seeking his next high. And a planet killer was a lot more of a kick than an improved fighter design, even if that fighter would have been a better option to obtain his goals.

No different from how some real-world militaries pour billions into fancy new weapons like hypersonic missiles, then fill their production examples with water, or don't bother spending the money on a launcher that works. Politicians love bling and the power fantasies that come with exotic capabilities; they're uninterested in the boring details that actually make them work.

Also dont forget the death star started construction long before the tie defender program so the empire couldnt just abandon it

The force is female. It cheapens these boss girls they have to retcon other characters accomplishments and hand them over.

There is no death, there is no Firce, there is no Star Wars. There is only Kathleen Qhunt Kennedy.

​@@redred1952 we can never have good things when assholes such as yourselves always find a negative when something's good.

Thrawn was no industrialist. Nor was He a lobbyist. He was a member of the Admiralty by this point and, more importantly, a strategist and tactitian. His job is to fix problems with his fleet, not create solutions on a drawing board and attend meetings with Moffs and their lackeys. In short, Thrawn mearly offered his support for Morgan's design.

It never said it was her design. I got the idea she was just a project lead proposing it to a potential investor.

I mean yeah. But what are you gonna do. He allied himself with the Empire. Maybe in an alternate Empire of the Hand type universe story would be cool. If your really want to see thrawn as a good guy, read (or listen to the audiobook) for the Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy it’s a fantastic series set in Chiss space away from the regular galaxy. But thrawn makes an excellent protagonist and really explains why he would want to go to the empire and use their power for the galaxy’s good

He's the only actor who could/can/did do it.

That was a very good idea

Revenge makes people blind.

Now I understand the (probable) reason why Filoni chose to spare (or revive) Ventress' life for the long run (beyond her alleged death in Dark Disciple). Ventress knew about Sidious through her connection as Dooku's assassin/pseudo-apprentice, and at some point, was told by Ahsoka and Rex (or connected the dots herself) about Palpatine playing both sides of the Clone Wars to gain/consolidate absolute power as Emperor (if Ventress' Bad Batch outburst about "we were both pawns, and we lost!" is of any useful indication). Anyways, I imagine that Ventress will still be a mercenary by the era of the New Republic, and after finding out that the current surviving batch of Nightsisters (Great Mothers and a necromancy-reanimated Morgan) are working for the Empire (through their alliance with Thrawn), that's when Ventress will spill the beans ("you're working for the same faction that rose to power by massacring our kin!"), thus motivating Thrawn's Nightsister allies to finally backstab Thrawn.

Revenge against the people of Corvus, for rejecting her in spite of her efforts to improve Corvus’s standing in the Galaxy. Pretty clear, given she literally says before this scene that these weren’t her people and that she mentions revenge in her answer to Thrawn whilst gazing upon them.

@@jaedentee3324 At first, I was rather upset we didn’t see any scenes of Morgan leading Imperial forces against Separatist remnants (since it would have made sense for Morgan to join the Empire out of a desire to squash the remaining Separatists, the faction which genocided her family/community). But then, after further contemplation, I now realize that Morgan’s Tales of Empire subplot is ultimately a tragedy about the vicious cycle of distrust. (and how “the child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.”) Over the course of her three Tales of Empire episodes, Morgan inadvertently hurts her post-massacre foster families/communities (first, the Dathomiri mountain clan, and later, Corvus) through her well intentioned impulsiveness (raiding the armory drew the attention of a droid battalion which killed a bunch of mountain clan sisters, while Morgan’s unrealistic expectations about the TIE Defender project being accepted by the Empire’s Moffs gave Corvus’ citizens (ultimately unrewarded) hope about making ends meet), while in return, those foster families/communities chose to assume the worst about Morgan’s intentions, thus abandoning Morgan (e.g. the mountain clan matron coldly leaves behind Morgan to fend for herself after self righteously exaggerating Morgan’s self defense rallying attempt as “succumbing to the path of hate and revenge”, while Corvus’ fickle citizens angrily accuse Morgan of being an exploitative witch who never intended to honor her promises to them, leading to Wing witholding bodyguard protection from Morgan in hopes of letting Rukh kill Morgan) and ironically pushing her to become the self-fulfilling prophecy they accused her of being in the first place (aka the “Then Let Me Be Evil” trope).

@@jaedentee3324 That's it?!

Why is that

@@GreenNinj4 just a good villain, smart, cunning, and has a cool British accent

I agree. It is the only explanation that I can think of. In ep3, she says that her world was burning for a long time, so why should Corvus be different.

Revenge on the separatists who destroyed dathomir - but she doesn’t know the Emperor instigated all of it

Probably on the whole galaxy. She was so blind by her anger that she didn't realize she had to take her vengeance on the Emperor, master of Count Dooku and General Grievous.

At this point she is more obsessed with the idea of revenge rather than actually getting revenge, or she is playing the really long game against the empire

@@Mammothsaber-4457 Better yet I think she had ambitions of putting the night sisters back into a place of significance that history would not ignore.

She preferred to spend all her free time in developing a brand new craft hoping that the Empire would like her.

It’s mostly poor writing.

because he is Elon Musk

If anything’s terrible it’s that horrific grammar 😂 Plus imagine hating women that much as to care about a FICTIONAL character creating a FICTIONAL ship in a FICTIONAL world. That really shows your character bud, just saying
