Why Thrawn Was SCARED When He RECOGNIZED Ahsoka Tano! 

Thrawn does not like surprises. Especially Jedi surprises. He knows how many variables that adds to his strategic preparation.

I’m not sure he recognized her. He asked to be given all info on her including her master. He knew Anakin & figured out by his strategy & fighting skills that Vader was Anakin. If he knew who she was, he’d have known who her master was. I don’t think he was scared, but when he finds out she was trained by Anakin/Vader, he will be worried. He will also use Anakins fall in his strategy to try to shake her up. Just my opinion.

I like how Ezra’s been killing stormtroopers and using their dogtags as chainmail; meanwhile Thrawn resurrects the fallen soldier and rearms him lol

That was the closest to freaked out I've ever seen Prawn. He was deeply disturbed by the news that Lady Tano was en route. Muhahahaha

Even though thrawn wasn’t really afraid of darth Vader, I bet he was probably afraid of the power that Vader possessed.

Thrawn is confident when dealing with logic and tactics. Tangible physical things. His younger self regarded the Jedi as a curiosity. It wasn't until later he realized how unquantifiable of a threat they represented to him and his plans. He cannot logic his way or outthink the very nature of the universe, it turns out. So now, as an older Thrawn, he has a proper respect for the supernatural. He's enlisted the help of the Night Sisters as his counter to force users. That being said, the idea of Jedi and the Force give him a great deal of anxiety, not usually seen on Thrawn's face. It's the one thing he can't really plan for, or control. And Thrawn is ALL about control.

I find it very hard to believe that thrawn is the one who is being played here. I don’t think his mind was messed up by the Bendu, I think it gave him a new respect and understanding of the more mystical side of the galaxy. I think it is thrawn who is using the night sisters, not the other way around

This is Thrawn, We need him to be true to himself. I'm sure Zahn has had a word or two.

I was very confused when Ruhk was seemingly killed off in Rebels given how he ties into Thrawn’s fate in Zahn’s trilogy, *”But… it was so artistically done…”*

Scared ? Not the slightest, he does not like unaccountable surprises disturbing his plans, so he was more pissed than scared. He barely knew who she was, he even asked his underling about her master, past, etc ... Which is a surprise considering he should actually know here since he knew who Anakin / Vader was.

Abeloth has tentacles, maybe she will kill Thrawn in the end, maybe this is what the prophecy is about, maybe Abeloth will be his demise. If the trawn movies have him as an Antiheroe, similar to Thanos in infinity war, his movies could show him as the main charakter i think maybe he would learn and choose to sacrifice himself in the end. I would like the idea of a redemption story.

That has got to be incredibly frustrating, because Thrawns pattern and peace comes from learning more about his adversary -- but he can't know any more about The Bendu he knows The Bendu is beyond his comprehension just like he said--which means that OTHER thing he said might be true too.

The three sisters also a reference to the sister of fate from greek mythology which is cool.

He knew Ahsoka through Anakin. After all, Ahsoka was the one who invented the Marg Sabl maneuver (she called it 'Belly Rub'), and this tactic was passed on to Anakin, and Padme told Thrawn about it. She did not use Ahsoka's name, but used 'his former Padawan apprentice' instead. So Thrawn will know it's her when he finds out about Anakin being her master.

Maybe it’s the Great Mothers Dark Magick that helps with Project Necromancer allowing the Sith Cult to bring Emperor Palpatine back.

It’s would be awesome if we can see a live action version of Dathamir maybe of Thrawn bringing these night sisters to a temple there in order to revive them!!!

Thrawn could get all that info from Baylen

"Many arms wrapping you in a cold embrace". That sounds like death by a swarm of undead Night-sister zombies to me. Allying with the Night Sisters is going to backfire on Thrawn.

I wish legends were canon

I believe the cold embrace will be the Night Sister zombies.

Rumor has it that Dave's movie will have a final battle endgame style on Umbara with the man-eating plants "embracing" and finally killing Thrawn.

I’m hoping for a Baylan+Shin+Ahsoka partnership in the Jedi legends part, and Sabine helping Ezra defeat Thrawn’s clever plans involving the night sisters.

The Two Nightsisters Questions that are dying to get Answered this week are; 1) Or is Captain Enock really a Maul child of one of the New Nightsisters? Say like Darth Maul. And 2) Did GA Thrawn give or traid all of his missing Officers or Startrooper to the New Nightsisters; so, that they can be reincarnated in the Nightsisters caskists as Thrawn new Night Troopers of the Dead Army?

Feels familiar but different; instead of resurrecting a dead fleet he gets a dead army.

Never really noticed before until you showed the close-up of the Great Mothers, but the facepaint of the Mothers looks like Abeloth's creepy wide smile. I wonder if the Nightsisters originating on Peridea first served Abeloth, and that's where they learned their magick, but now they realize how dangerous that was, and they want to get the heck out of dodge.

6:36 This reminded me of shen in kung fu panda , who also afraid of his fate

I'm starting to wonder if there are more force-sensitive creatures in this far away Galaxy? Not just the purrgil and nightsisters. More along the lines of dangerous wildlife. Creatures of the night... Monsters?

Pretty sure Thrawn is uneasy because he realizes he's going to have potentially 4 (5 with Sabine) Jedi around him.

Great video. Could it be Abeloth and her tentacles

You said jedis have their ways. He has only ever been bested by one person, who is a Jedi, and that's Ezra Bridger. He isn't scared so much as he is concerned and annoyed that Morgan Elsbeth is putting too much trust in Baylan rather than being as shrewd as he is. He is most likely considering whether or not she is an asset or a hindrance. The ONLY moment thrawn showed any weakness or semblance of fear is when Sabine said "you wouldn't know anything about that" when talking about sacrificing for something she cares about. He says "perhaps not" which of course is a lie because everything he does was to make sure his home planet is safe.

Project necromancer and the army of the dead he was in contact with the reminents

He knows the plot armor Ahsoka possesses under Dave Biloni

The bendu saw his defeat and he was definitely defeated at the end of rebels like the bendu said If the bendu talked about his death then he would have said so

If the night troopers are called “night “ they may be loyal to the witch’s and then if they are like dead storm troopers brought back, the embrace of cold dead arms could be there’s.

I wait week to week for these Ahsoka episodes and nothing happens!!!!!! I get to the end of each episode and think Was that it???

Thrawn's a little Blue Biaaatch

I feel like the reason thrawn is scared of ahsoka is because he likes to study his enemy’s in detail before he confronts them, and thrawn has 0 experience or prior knowledge of ahsoka other than the fact that she was anakins padawan

be like dearth star blow up planet add every soul to army hence why he is such big villian

The bendu said I see your defeat wrapped in a cold embrace... not death or end.. so I believe it was in reference to the end of rebels ..... and I'm starting to believe that those troopers are not dead but those are charms to keep them 'safe'

It's actually a reference to Greek mythology man, the fates would cut the strings of mortals to end their lives. Shakespeare got the idea from Ancient Greece

Will he be cautious, sure. Terrified? I don't think so.

because Ahsoka is not to be messed with now....... he knows Snips espeacilly not to be underestimated.....

I feel a great disturbance in the Force….

I’m more curious on the reason Ahsokas mission went from finding Ezra to purely being about stopping a “possible” Thrawn return and where she even heard about these whispers about it before Mando? I get the plot purpose and character motivation for her character not wanting another war but more so a meaningful look at why specifically did her priorities change?

bendu didnt mess up his mind just set him up for certian path lol

The Night Sisters said that it will take three rotations to ready their departure. I look at it this way: 1. Count that day as Rotation One, episode 7 Rotation two, and Episode 8 rotation three = season finale...or 2. Don't count last episode, Episode 7, rotation one, episode 8 rotation 2, and we wait until next season for rotation three. Which will it be?

The word you were looking for wasn't resurrect, it's animate the dead. Resurrection implies they are alive again and not just murder robots

Jedi arriving with pergill is not a good surprise.

Thrawn wasn't scared. But he knows better than to disrespect a Force user. That's how he ended up where he was.

When Moff Gideon was meeting with the others Imperial big wigs they called it "Project Necromancer." Thrawn is loading corpses on his ship probably gonna see another order 66 with The night sisters turning hundreds of thousands of Zombie Troopers against the Galaxy.

I just want someone to talk about how that lead Great Mother is Claudia Black.

why is his upper right ranking blocks not yellow? they look orange

Its better if I don't say anything , everybody already knows I'm ugly

The Bendu was talking about the ending of season 4

I dont even think he's face her in rebels did he he was absent in the episodes that she wqs it if i remember correctly

I dont think thrawn was afraid of ahsoka, he he doesnt like surprises or unknown variables and a jedi is both. Plus he spent roughly a decade cut off from his galaxy only having contact through the witches, waiting for morgan to buld a massive hyperspace ring with immense engines to bring him back only to have a jedi randomly pop out to where hes been exhiled, it would be pretty annoying and frustrating

...coolers for a massive tailgate...

Thrawn is the Hannibal Smith

Could all of the hands in a cold embrace be from his undead army?

The witches are actually representing the Graeae from Greek mythology. The ball that they hold is representing the eye. There names are also very similar. They also see threads of fate.

Sees the boxes being loaded Hey who wants to watch me do an unboxing?

Thrawn is going to be killed by the zombies. Many cold arms is 100% a zombie thing

Why doesn’t Sabine wear her armor?

everyone over looking fact that if the soilders are dead army then everyone they kill will be added to army

With the three sisters which are they supposed to be? It's not clear especially with the maiden.

Tahiri Velia when?

Am I the only one to think that the only reason they're loading bodies up is just because Thrawn is very much a "no man left behind" kind of guy? They're loading their dead so that they can return home with the rest of their brothers and sisters

What if thrawn died already on his way to the night sisters.and they ressurected him to escape the planet

So you're a Grand Admiral who likes to analyze all the variables before engaging. On the same day you learn your first visitors from your former galaxy in 10 years have brought with them a Mandalorian warrior who was part of your previous downfall on Lothal, who is now a Jedi apprentice, who came along so she could reunite with Ezra Bridger, the powerful and unpredictable Jedi who outsmarted you previously, banishing you to an entirely different galaxy. So now you have two Jedi to deal with. You also learn one of Morgan's henchman is a former Jedi General, who has brought his own padawan along for the ride. If allegiances shift, that's potentially four Jedi to deal with. And now flying in through Hyperspace in the mouth of a Purgill space whale (an act of power not seen since the founding Nightsisters crossed the galaxies) is yet another Jedi you will come to learn was the padawan apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, trained in wartime as a warrior, framed for a crime she didn't commit, targeted by the Jedi, survived it, left the Jedi Order and therefore became another unpredictable wildcard. Targeted by Order 66, survived it. Fought Darth Vader in a lightsabre duel, survived it. Was believed killed by Jedi General Baylon now turned henchman, survived it …and now this being is coming after you. Yes, I'd say Thrawn has cause for concern. If I were him, I would exhume every fallen Dathomiri warrior from the Nightsisters' crypt, and get them reanimated as soon as possible. I'd also get my star destroyer into orbit along with the other ships in my fleet that survived the journey, and protect the Eye of Sion if it's my only ticket home.

The Bendu prophecy for sure is already over. Thrawn is not puzzled by it. He has The Mothers. No idea what the "needing to feed off of their dark magick" is about. That isn't at all what is happening. You took literally the opposite of what you should have. Thrawn dismissed The Force and such in the past. Now he respects and takes advantages of it. Thrawn literally is more dangerous than he was. Not less.

Every new episode drops on Wednesday *

Blue Data !!! If you know, you know !!!

if Thrawn were to die, would the whitches reanimate him as well as a zombie-Thrawn? would they need to do that? because I imagine that their agreement is transactional not based on fidelity of any sorts

Thrawn knows Ahsoka?

It’s Abeloth.

The Night Troopers have to be reanimated don't they? They were Gen 1 clones. They would have all "aged out". They would have needed to be reanimated to be standing up. It will be interesting to see how Thrawn will try tondouble cross the Night sisters later on.

Has anyone thought that Thrawn could be “undead” too??

if they are goin to follow the books thrawn has to return to the main galaxy first so he and ahsoka are not goin to die yet.

He's scared of Jedi mc plot armour that they won't die opf.

Everyone needs to stop. Those troopers are not undead. I've never seen or heard any version of undead armies chanting or talking. They move and walk like live troopers, not zombies.

I disagree. Thrawn is Thrawn, he wins through intelligence and information. The curveball will be from the Dark Jedi

Please no more zombies. Not in StarWars.

I dont remember thrawn having a big gut

Wait, he was scared?

He didn't know it was Ahsoka. You clearly have NOT been paying attention.

I refuse to waste any brain cells thinking about this show, I mean, the writers clearly don't use any when putting it together

EDIT: okay you redeemed yourself at the end so please disregard the 1st of my two points below 😊 Mmmmmm EXCUSE ME Mr. S.W. Comics✋ you best put some RESPECT on Mr. Thrawn’s army!! NIGHT TROOPERS thank you very much 😁 Btw new around here and love your stuff my guy!!! Please continue to do the Lord’s work and we will most certainly always be the most gracious for the gifts of your labors 👍👍❤️

Cause she’s the apprentice of the baddest MF in the galaxy 😂

Is suspect Thrawn is preparing for death and eventual Resurrection. The show could depart from cannon.... in his mind that is logical.

What is coincidal"?

I would get behind a whole new star wars movie franchise. Move on from the Skywalker Saga once and for all and start again for a new generation

I wonder what Thrawn thought of Ahsoka Tano as a person.

Baylan knows ahskoka is anakins aprentice. And said nothing. Keep that in mind.

I cant remember if Ashoka ever ran into thrawn in rebels. But Ashoka knows all about him????

the 3 withches draw paralels with the norse norns, the 3 women who would spin the treads of fate, and then you also have baylan skoll and sin Hati. skoll and hati are the norse wolves that chase the sun and moon and when they cath them it will signify the end of everything. this show is riddled with norse mythology.

Just gonna leave this here .... I see your defeat like many arms around you in a cold embrace... yes that's what happened with the purgil... but I leave you with this also .... what was abeloths arms consisted of.... tentacles.... I'm telling ya I'm calling it abeloth is coming

What I want to know is who wrecked all the Stormtroopers? I don't think Ezra worked alone. So who or what did it?

Scared? Never met her.

It's Very Easy... Thrawn, threw Experience has Leaned, the when dealing with Jedi... There is No Strategy , Art can Predict what can happen. Thrawn is about Order, Jedi brings Chaos.

Am I the only person who thinks the animated Thrawn looks more menacing, than the live action version of the character? Something is missing, for me, in the live action version of Thrawn.
