Who is Grand Admiral Thrawn? 

Sanspiro oh he’s punished them (killed) before

Only killing them if they became disloyal or arrogantly ignorant of their short comings. A decent man indeed.

The Joker he sure didn’t... he let his bodyguard do that.

Definitely makes them more loyal.

@@badlandskid Rukh... if i am not wrong.

Weapons Free Very true!

Sheev Palpatine Hey Palpy, who is the Senate?

agreed

Ikr

He’s not a villain. He’s the good guy.

Same here

Same as well

same!

Read the book Heir to the empire! its great he steals the show for me

warren byrne hm yeah why not?

Poetic.

But how about the unfair trade and explotation of the resources and species on many planets? Like Mon Kala was forced to accept the incredibly low price on selling their materials to the empire

@@darthrincus you liberal piece of shit! It takes resources to run an empire. Jedis are arrogant and ironically indisciplined. Long live the empire!

That's America rn

@@dubstep101angu how is he liberal you idiot.

If you haven't discovered that many others have also loved Thrawn, I would mark you as stupid.

@@ExcaliburHeavyBattlecruiser k

No he definitely is.

If you ask me he’s the best Star Wars tactician in the original trilogy (or prequel trilogy idk) u get the point

Yes.

You cant exactly call thrawn a Villan

He isn't a villain. He didn't lead with emotion.. He led with logic and knowledge.. If the republic was still around and there was the empire he would chose one of the 2 that would best satisfy the galaxy without destroying many lives..

+Vini Gaming exactly. he is fighting for what he thinks is right. no- one can blame him for that.

+Bethel Adiele He is a good hero on a bad side of history.

Basically Rommel.

+Jeff Sol Well he WAS managing a galactic war at the time, and juggling the smugglers C'baoth and sowing adversity in the senate, so he could have let his guard down considering how the noghri revered him as a christ figure. Shouldnt have kept poisoning the planet prolly though. Thats more like Palpatine than him.

But it was so artistic

Well, that proved me that nothing can pierce the “good guys” plot armor, not even Thrawns pure genius.

@Atlas Ine Pretty sure the show runners confirmed him and Ezra survived after Rebels. There's still more Thrawn to go around in the new Canon

Anthony Garcia doesn't change the fact its ass

ok dad

Lol also when I'm writing this your likes are at 501 Ironic...

oh you

You got 555 likes

Lol

Also poetic that despite how xenophobic and racist the Empire is, it's most brilliant strategist isn't even human. And despite all the hatred he received rising through the ranks, Thrawn was actually their best officer in the end.

Yooo the yuuzhan bong. I’d pay millions to green out using that

@@Barrystue I wanna try the Yuuzhan Bong

@@malusofficial we all do

The Chiss were extremely advanced. They just didn't have droids because droids were a Rakatan invention, and the Chiss never interacted or meet the Rakatans, and thus no Droids.

compared to all the others definitly. But his successor Pellaeon did great as well. Daala was also a good leader.

You think they are going to have him in any of the movies ?

James Walker it would be awesome if he was at least mentioned somewhere in a spin off. But I rather doubt they will actualy include him in a movie. Would be great ofc.

I see he will be in the DX star wars show coming out .

He kinda was, really. He had his moments of "kill this person because they failed", but he ONLY reserved those instances for people who refused to admit their mistakes or showed signs of disloyalty to the Empire (not disloyalty to him, he had a surprisingly in-check ego). He also liked to promote creative thinking and idea sharing. Once, a guy was trying to capture Luke Skywalker and failed. Thrawn confronted him about it, the guy refused to own his error, and he was killed for it. Later though, another guy failed to capture Skywalker, but when Thrawn confronted him about it, it ended with Thrawn giving the man a promotion, because he owned his mistake and was creative in his thinking. Thrawn's campaign didn't get as far as it did because of him alone. Though he did play a MAJOR part in it, he got as far as he did because he genuinely believed in his men, and they, in turn, believed in him. Because of that, they all fought with more loyalty and ferocity than the Empire ever did in the days of Vader and Palpatine.

Exactly

Tarek Chamas sadly it might not be cannon now

The rebels were always the villains but they just got more screentime

Tarek Chamas I

They very nearly did. The Yuzhan Vong were the closest the galaxy ever came to being completely subjugated

It's just more developed.

John Smith Disney has already crafted a pretty cohesive story following the Battle of Endor through several books so far, and they're not bad. Yes, Disney's still in it's infancy compared to the original EU and it's not totally fair to make that comparison yet, but in my opinion even in it's beginning the EU started off cooler.

+Zachary Lloyd true. Any chance you can name a few titles from the Disney EU? I would really love to start the new canon after I finish the Fate of the Jedi series.

Ya. Eu is good but some is awful

There's the 'Aftermath' series, 2 out of 3 are completed, Bloodline, Before the Awakening, Force Awakens novelization, A New Dawn, Smugglers Run, Lost Stars, Face of Evil, Shattered Empire, Weapon of a Jedi, Perfect Weapon & a whole lot of new comics too

The blue boi obviously

Blue boi🥶

Da blue boi 👤

Blue boi

What about red-eyed boi?

End: WHAT DA HECK?

And now he's canon

+Renegade Spark you're damn right he's Canon

The Joker it's link in with the primary story or something even though it's not shown or mentioned.

Revan, Thrawn, Vader, Obi-wan, R2 and Han are my favorite Star Wars characters (and HK-47, hehe)

Behemous YES! obi wan 'badass peace walker 'Kenobi

You couldn't be more insightful or correct if you tried, my friend. :) I would LOVE to have seen some kind of comic-style "Else Worlds" fiction that showed if that had somehow happened.

Such a universe likely would have seen Vader usurping the Emperor and Thrawn taking full command of the Imperial military. It would have been potentially harsher than the Emperor's rule, but not as unjust. Vader wasn't interested in power so much as he wanted to see the Jedi destroyed. Thrawn would have had complete authority over many aspects of the Empire. It would have been exactly the climate that the galaxy needed to stave off the Yuuzang Vong

Sheev, you're one to talk. You barely did any ruling yourself! Wasn't it all shoom-shoom-clash-spark-zap and the occasional pod race?

If anakin some how managed to kill obi wan He most probably would of taken palpatines place and most definitely would of made thrawn have full command of the Empire. Under his rule and Luke and lia probably would of been found and made into sitj

@@dylanwight5764 Palpatine was the one who wanted the Jedi to be destroyed Vader wanted power to protect the universe

Actually ackbar would probably hold out longer. Trench would be wiped out before him due to attacking head on with larger and powerful ships.

@@sugdolomar Agree. Legends Ackbar managed to defeat a Grand Admiral, and in a classic ship to ship duel no less. True, Mon Cala cruisers are considered more powerful than Star Destroyers, but it's still a great display of skills. Against Thrawn though, he wouldn't last, but definitly longer than the others mentioned here.

@@lkvideos7181 Just imagine a battle between Thrawn and Admiral Hordo, I would pay to see that, probably wouldn't last long.

I think a battle between Revan and Thrawn would be far more interesting

@@theravenlordmasterofthevib8991 Revan's not a fleet admiral though, so how does that work?

SPACISM

apparently killing and discriminating against talented people soley due to their inherent characteristics isn't the way to do things!

Agree

Brent Sewell I hope Disney doesn't screw him up in Star Wars Rebels And I hope he doesn't die either,so we can see him in the movies.

They take most of the original story of Thrawn into canon and make him antagonist in Future movies

more or less id like him to be in official stuff for the general fanbase get to know him and see him as a well known figure

hhhmmm

He wouldnt survive the invasion either so he wasnt really

He more like used the people for his own safety..

Depends on how useful they're to him

Kind of, but he used them for himself.

Sith are notorious for spotting the strong and talented, and of course rewarding the loyal with opportunity.

Cygnus Gaming hmm based upon your profile image i can see u have a slight disregard to the republican president Donald J Trump

better than trump

@@Kiyoti0 nope

Wiuld exactly call him a villan srriosly the empire wasn t THAT villanous just take it as if it was your country and that you wanted to unite the world under your country s flag...Not evil is it?

+Vini Gaming The empire were pretty much space nazis, so...

The emperor and his storm troopers were the space nazies. The Chiss were a sovereign people fighting for who they thought would best survive and keep peace within the galaxy (hence their people choosing to fight with the Sith Empire during the Old Republic era.)

Can you call the guy who s the leader of the german nation a natzi just because he used to serve the natzi s and is black?Nope And palpy was the main reason why the empire was potrayed as EVIL considering it was run by a sith lord nethertheless it was a BETTER idea than the Galactic Republic or the rebels Killing billions of people is also considered BAD(Which luke totally did by destroying the deathstar) but history is written by the winners this case the rebellion You can t call the german nation evil even if they were natzi s can you? And the world isn t black and white and a galaxy far far away in a long time ago isn t that black and withe either

+Vini Gaming sorry for my bad spelling...

like alexander the great

ryan weidman Thats a good comparison

Charles Ford i imagine him as a erwin rommel and alexander the great mix

I always saw him as Napoleon

+ryan weidman I'd see him as a rommel and Patton mix.

He's too dangerous to be kept alive!

Welp he’s alive now 🤷🏾

@@thegoat4232 Shiiit, how do you think he’ll be in Mandalorian

their wouldn't a rouge one if Thrawn was in ....poof*

We do see him in rebels

Sean Mansfield true. But what mean is that would wipe out the rebels because were in their early days and less tactical

I'm hoping season 3 of rebels will show them losing more, maybe even losing a main character. This is THRAWN after all

Rogue One has already competed filming (pretty much) so I highly doubt that.

I believe the figure you're thinking of is Erwin Rommel.

clyax113 Hindenburg also maybe?

@@thebrutusmars I'd have to look into him more. I never knew who he was until I saw he was the President of Germany in the 20's and 30's.

clyax113 Rommels probably a better example

Non cannon

I don't care

+SpiderPool I like you

Thank you

SpiderPool Tell that to Disney XD

I personally think he should be played by Tom Hiddleston

Lj 88 Tom Hiddleston would slay as him

AhmedDare22 no he doesn't have the right demeanor for the role. Cumberbach is much more calculating and calm which is perfect for Thrawn

Lj 88 Maybe Matthew McConaughey ?

AhmedDare22 idk after watching dazed and confused its hard to see him in a serious role

AL EX i mean. They made a huge resource sink.... twice. Built off of. What must of been millions of slaves.

+Tuffluck 1337 Rommel was one of the inspirations for Thrawn

Sean Da Sheep Then that reinforces my theory that much more.

+Tuffluck 1337 you are right. However it wasn't just Rommel that thrawn was based off. It was also Hannibal, I forget his title but he's the genius that rampaged through Rome (the state). And i believe the other was Robert.E.Lee

Tuffluck 1337 Well then you can see the similarity between him and thrawn am i right?

Reuben Ellis I see Hannibal, but the comparisons to the Nazies had me on Rommel. Also, if I were to compare anyone in the Civil War, I believe it to be a mix of Sherman and Lee. Lee had compassion for his men and did what he thought was best for peace and unity. But Sherman was bulwark and headstrong, completely annihilating anything the enemy stood for. (Not including civilians and their families, that's outright monstrous) while also standing to the tenets of the Union.

Yes. That is why he built death star and used so much money on Imperial armed forces. Then rebels came and blew up Imperial Armed forces and death stars, leaving galaxy woulnerable for Vong invasion. Without rebels, millions of lives would have been saved.

^

+TheRomanRuler Mind. Blown. How did he find out?

It never states how he found it. He just had knowledge of the Yuuzhan Vong fleet and knew that they would eventually invade the galaxy. It's the main reason why he wanted super weapons during his reign as emperor.

***** Well there was other Sith that knew about the Vong before plageuis and palpatine.

Never forgive, never forget.

Including an apostrophe in a hashtag ruins it. #RebelLivesDoNotMatter or simply #RebelLivesDontMatter

gimme my cookies!

no and u cant make me hehehehehehhehehehhehehhehehehehhehehehehheheheheh *bang*

Couldn't say it better

There was one actually.

@Hills_ong His name is Kung'urama'nuruodo, he was a jedi padawan during the Clone Wars. There's also Master Ranos during the Old Republic era. The Chiss do not really appreciate force users, especially when they're members of their own species, they see them as "impure" and force sensitive Chiss are often exiled or even executed if they are caught using the Force within the Chiss Ascendancy. (in Legends)

Read the Thrawn: Alliances book. They exist and are top secret. They are nearly always girls. They have skill at hyperspace navigation and little else. As they age, their skills degrade. The Chiss use them as navicomputers and pilots.

Just imagine for a second...if Thrawn could have known the force...i guess that point would be impossible since he would be Godlike, what wouldnt really help the Balance :D ...but still...just imagine for a second! :OOO

Cameron McAllister on the good guy side*

ROw GAMinG It depends, you really think allies were good guys? Hahaha winner writes history buddy if German wouldve won WWII allies would be nazis for you. Both sides are bad, but nazi for the win but not war criminals. They're scum.

A Potato Were the allies the good guys? For the most part, yes, they were. Maybe except the communists who were just as evil. The point is that the Empire and the Nazis were pretty much the same. George Lucas was heavily influenced by them when he created the Empire.

ROw GAMinG allies the good guys??? Lol US troops raped german women as much as the soviets did. US bombing of dresden search that up if you want. Bombing an entire city that was of no strategic value just for fun. I hate how you call them nazis. That would be me calling US republicans. The republicans lost the war against vietnam. The republicans "the strongest army in the world" lost against some chinese peasants.

ROw GAMinG the republicans also bombed laos and cambodia with agent orange and drop more bombs there than the whole of ww2. Digusting rapist republicans

no shit

+Ganon stop being a bitch

+Imulsion slinky did I offended you nigga.

+tacodog117 Timothy Zann is writing for him

I‘d wish Thrawn would have crushed the new republic.

@@tjb_6203 more realisticly, took the capital for a few moments, then be defeated honorably

@@thesenate5913 why would that be more realistic ? He had the entire Rebellion by the balls at Bilbringi before Rukh took him out.

Well, he may not be dead

TJB _ honestly it’s exactly the death I saw coming for him from the beginning of the first book. Kind of lame, but also poetic.

Disney would ruin it

oh hell no, Disney would ax murder this

@@Arylwren1 True, but they're also the only ones who are able to do it, unless someone else like... Rents the rights, or something.

Fan films?

He will be on mandalorian

It was true art

It's Rich Evans of RedLetterMedia (famed for the Plinkett Prequels reviews) from their Episode VII reaction pisstake

Don't worry he'll die in Rebels. WHAT COULD GO WRONG?!?

what do you mean Disney?

+Ramsay Bolton and his pork sasuage Disney owns star wars

+Vindictus ya i know that, i thought he meant that Disney makes rebels

+Da Sword Of Gork this is the problem if they kill thrawn they need to kill him right

Same except add Rex and Darth Malgus to your list.

And HK-47. Can't ever get enough of that guy...

add juhiani to that list that girl was sexy and a awesome character...

I saw that and thought the same thing. 😄

One was also Chris Pratt as thrawn

One of them was Henry Cavill i think.

honestly, I would pay to see a Star Wars movie with Tom Hiddleston as Thrawn.

SPOILERS, SPOILERS, AAAHHH, AAAHHH!!! In the newest episode of The Mandalorian (Good show, i recommend it) it's revealed that Ahsoka Tano is looking for Thrawn so there is a hint he is alive, so maybe they should get Hiddleston to play him...IF he does make an appearance on the show.

Ever heard of Star Wars Rebels?

Toxic Pea I’m glad it has him doing his thing but it’s not really about him I would love to see a Trilogy of the Heir of the Empire tho

He is and he gets eaten by space whales

Admiral thrawn for president.

RAFPony well remember palpatine and vader believed in using fear tactics, what better way to scare the alliance and other defectors then.. a giant planet destroying space station lol

+slaymaster999 do it by building a star destroyer that can one shot a battleship bloody hell. what use is blowing up a planet. heck what they only destroyed a Couple of important planets. scare tactics my ass. theyre shit tactics. if fuckin space terrorists/insurgents can fly into your scary death ball then its not scary

RAFPony true but the sith dreamt of a planet destroying super weapon as far back as the ancient sith empire, thrawn felt it wasn't necessary or wise to construct an expensive superweapon and they should've strengthened the emperial navy, they might have won if they did

+slaymaster999 its a shit dream. stahp it sith

Ironic.

Yeah.... this is why a lot of true Star Wars Fans get pissed off at Episode 7. No way in hell the Empire just falls in a year after Endor. the Empire was vast and mighty and had 20 plus years to Establish itself after Episode 3.

+Dogmeat1950 Uh, I'm pretty sure it didn't fall in one year. maybe 10. Or 15.

seonbin Song Go skim through the new "lore" the Empire fell in a year. That's how dumb the new lore is. Not to mention this fractured and broken 'New Order" some how got the funding and resources to build a large ass planet size Super Weapon. New lore is Completely stupid.

Read 'Heir to the Empire' by Timothy Zahn; it's what the new Star Wars movie should have been about, not that Episode 4 clone pig shit. It's the first book in the Thrawn trilogy.

Haunted Melon You truly have no understanding how large and powerful the Empire is. The Rebels never had the Numbers let alone the Production to ever match the Empire. It's like saying the USA after the Revolution had the power to Invade the fucking British Empire. That's how absurd "New Lore" is. And even if you went with This "New Order" They could have built Thousands of Star Ships instead of building a fucking 3rd Super Weapon! and the best part about this Lore is that it has to explain all the BS and utter lack of Creation that was Episode 7

The return of thrawn was the only good thing to come out of Disney canon

Totally trashed him in rebels

Perhaps one day there will be movies that canonize at least some of the event between movies only told in EU. I feel like they would do well. Like how they did with Rogue One.

@Palpatine McSenateFace he could have returned but the way he was presented made me want to exterminatus this planet. Actually on that though I'm gonna be back and do it .

EU?

when I heard his name I squealed like a girl

You should watch Star Wars Rebels too, and Clone Wars, if you haven't

For me, The Empire were the bad guys. Sure they did some good but you can't really ignore the fact that they wiped out a planet just for an example (I think, my memory is a bit foggy), killed many of the innocent, and other stuff. Maybe if Palpatine wasn't in control it would have been different.

@@mage_r338 Honestly i think Palpatines motivation for defeating the invasion would be to be able to keep his personal power not because he really cared about the galaxys well being One could argue that having an empire could be a necessary evil to fend off an invasion but i think Palpatines motivations were always for mimself

Give or take the blowing up of peaceful planets here and there :p

Sadly this is no longer canon. He was the main villain for Seasons 3 and 4 of Rebels though, that is his new canon

You should watch Star Wars Rebels too, and Clone Wars, if you haven't

Just watch Rebels. That's all I know of him and it still makes him into such a badass who always outsmarts people and plans ahead

@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 he toned down in Rebels a lot, better read some books about him from Timothy Zann, his creator.

@@fuzzyotterpaws4395 and some space whales defeated him which is BS.

This is the way

Closest thing to a Thrawn on the CIS side is Trench from The Clone Wars show (the humanoid spider alien dude). I'd like to see Trench VS Thrawn, in a tactics contest, since a fighting contest would most likely end with Trench beating up Thrawn, considering that Trench is tough to kill. Seriously, the guy got bombed the fuck out of on his ship's bridge by a ship piloted by Anakin (and he was even willing to accept his possible death judging by his motions right before the bombs hit the bridge), and he came out of it alive (though he had to get cybernetic implants, which didn't seem to limit him at all), plus, him having more limbs and eyes would help as well with his movement.

Me lol

Plus he's blue and I like that
