    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

      Yes. His voice is creepy. I'm also glad it's the same guy. I think it's cool that Thrawn not only is strategic, but he trains to fight as well, unlike Trench, who couldn't fight. Very cool!!

    @MappaDoji Рік тому +53

    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 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

    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.

    • @c2s2942
      @c2s2942 10 місяців тому

      Keep in mind he’s also like 70 and he’s been stranded and likely still suffering from injuries received at the tentacle of the Purgill that squeezed him and launched him into deep unknown space via hyperspace with a busted up control bridge. An old man enduring that much physical trauma wouldn’t likely recover near as well in most circumstances. A little weight gain seems practical and expected as he’d be less likely to be able to maintain his physical fitness.

    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

    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.
