Thrawn is a special character for me, because it was through his books that me and my grandma could bond over star wars. My grandma is very important to me, almost like another mother. I remember when I used to read to her, and how we would enjoy listening to the audio books together. She doesn't live in the same state anymore, but I will be visiting her in November, so I'm going to take Thrawn audiobooks so that we can share more memories. Thank you Zahn, for creating such an iconic character! You brought people together!
Along with being the first Star wars character i i knew, he is also soo special to me because he got me interested in philosophy, stoicism, psychology and appreciating the military structure. He is such a role model to me and i always (try to lol) embody his sense of collectiveness and calm composure.
The greatest character in all of Star Wars Legends. So great and beloved by fans was he that they brought him back in canon and did it correctly. The Chiss are the greatest species in Star Wars, and Thrawn is their best poster character to showcase just how legendary they all are.
Great video. When I started the Thrawn Ascendancy novel’s I wasn’t sure because it was set so far outside the main Star Wars galaxy, but it’s some of the best Star Wars books I’ve ever listened to. The voice acting in the audiobooks make for excellent stuff to listen to when driving to work. The depth of Thrawn’s character is always top tier. Timothy Zahn to this day still understands the character like no one else
2:00 One tiny correction: Thrawn's sister Vurika was 5 when she was 'volunteered' into the SkyWalker corps; it was Vurawn/Thrawn who was 3. He barely remembers her, and she doesn't remember her birth family at all; as part of her training, her memories were removed.
Have been waiting since you said in one of your previous videos that you had notes for thrawn I think it was the chiss explained video and I've been hyped keep up the hard work you do on all these videos and great job as well.🎉😊❤
I’ve been waiting for this since you made this chiss video, my favorite star wars race, and my favorite character. Im even listening to the Ascendancy trilogy and original thrawn trilogy again. The craziest part is im at the same part of the third book, where you ended the video. As one trained in the Force, you know true coincidences are rare.
Thrawn is someone I look forward to seeing on the live-action screen. The Chiss Ascendancy will certainly be quite the faction to delve even deeper into.
No wonder Thrawn was completely unfazed by all the Imperial Court Martials, answering to the top brass about his actions was probably old hat by this point in his life.
In the Ahsoka trailer Thrawn hasn't aged much in the next ten years of Rebels and he is 68 for Ahsoka's series. Perhaps the Chiss of canon continuity has a longer lifespan than a human.
@@MetaNerdzLore I think I heard in legends that Chiss reach maturity faster than humans but stay at their physical peak much longer. Along with having faster metabolisms.
Great job, but for future reference the audio books have the proper pronunciation of a lot of the names and chiss words. Kepp up the good work, looking forward to the rest of the series.
This is an outstanding piece of work,storytelling,pictures, and every essential detail from the books merged together.a pleasuer to watch and listen to.
Please keep doing these videos I just came across your channel yesterday idky its amazing I haven't seen you since. But I'm here now and watched all the clone videos watched these ones and I'm gonna keep going lol so please don't stop my friend
I'm currently in a Star Wars RPG campaign where Thrass is in our party! We work for a crime lord on a recently Empire-occupied mid-rim system (called Caturn, lol) and occasionally work with a rebel cell and smugglers. My character, a highly skilled Twi'lek pilot and hacker and Thrass can't stand each other for obvious reasons but respect each other's abilities. His intelligence and charisma and my pilot skills combined have saved our asses numerous times!
Two things I think about cannon Thrawn. 1. He is on the autism spectrum (though this does not translate very well in Rebels and Ahsoka). 2. He has a small crush on Ar'alani but they’re too career oriented to do anything about it.
Hey MetaNerdz Lore, when will you release videos about The COMPLETE Life Story (Canon & Legends) of Luke Skywalker? I’m getting anxious to learn about the story of Legend continuity Luke Skywalker after Return of the Jedi.
The original Thrawn Trilogy saved SW for many people. Back in those days the SW comics and books were honestly crap, then boom Heir of the Empire came out and it showed that Sci-Fi and SW could go together and excel.
Will this be revisited with the release of Ashoka? Feel like more changes will be made and added to Thrawn’s history in the Star Wars disney lore. Greetings from France
Slight mis-citation at the start. The conversation from Thrawn’s perspective was made in Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising. That’s why it mentions Chiri the Sky-walker. In Thrawn: Alliances it also shows this interaction but from Anakin’s perspective with him simply mentioning his pilot and not showing the conversation between Thrawn and his sky-walker
@@MetaNerdzLoreI’m actually like halfway through the first thrawn book. And I’m trying to make cannon thrawn and legends thrawn match up on this timeline reading order I’m doing with a bunch of books I’ve got. Idk if it’ll work but I’m gonna try it. Plus, there’s a lot of books and comics to read before I get to heir to the empire.
@@MetaNerdzLoreYou are my favorite Starwars UA-camr. My birthday is tomorrow and I’m getting a bunch of the old legends guide books that you use like for weapons and vehicles and stuff. It’s gonna be sick.
There's truly so much lore and the star wars universe is so big they should be able to make some phenomenal shows/movies but sadly most of us have been disappointed in alot of the stuff Disney has put out let's hope season 2 of ashoka will be great season 1 definitely had it's moments but also had its problems. I loved thrawn though
Thrawn is one of the best written characters ever if the emperor would have listened to him and not built the death stars and just made a ton more star destroyers he would have took over the entire galaxy not only thrawn but his people all the books were great i hope they dont screw him up in live action and write him incompetent hes just a great character
Movie Tron is not able to cope with your human medical progression. Tron for half angels being restored to human level. In a game friendly environment .

Scott Stirling! No wait, wrong title
@@isaackim7675thats what I thought right away
Good one
man that's good
Lol
That is genius
Words can’t quite describe how excited I am to watch this. Thrawn is one of the few characters that has been well written in both canon and legends.
Yeah really love what they've done
though I hated what Filoni had portrayed Thrawn in rebels, made him look like a bitch and a complete villan, something Zahn's Thrawn was not.
Thrawn is like fine wine, he has only gotten better with time
@@정훈-k9bfiloni ruins absolutely everything

@@MetaNerdzLore Your welcome! Thanks for making your videos!
I was actually sad when these books were over. They were so great
Man Marc Thompson is soooooo good at voicing thrawn
I love it

I am soaking up all this thrawn knowledge. I will bring peace to the chiss ascendency.
No distractions pure story telling good content bro
Thank you that's what I'm going for
6 parts?? holy shit dude, thank you for putting so much effort into these. This one was a delight as always. Excited to see the next episode!
Thanks for the motivation! Glad u like it, p2 and 3 coming next two days
I'm guessing part 6 will just be the new show, or will that have to be 7?
Great video. When I started the Thrawn Ascendancy novel’s I wasn’t sure because it was set so far outside the main Star Wars galaxy, but it’s some of the best Star Wars books I’ve ever listened to.

Legends/EU Thrawn is such an awesome character
hoping to work on that after the Ahsoka show
I’m so happy, my favorite character in star wars history. Absolutely amazing work man, you’ve made my week.
First hree parts coming out this weekend so I hope u like them, then hopefully the next 3 in a week or two
2:00 One tiny correction: Thrawn's sister Vurika was 5 when she was 'volunteered' into the SkyWalker corps; it was Vurawn/Thrawn who was 3. He barely remembers her, and she doesn't remember her birth family at all; as part of her training, her memories were removed.
I have been looking forward for this
hope u like
Yes yes love thrawn best villain
i often agree
Have been waiting since you said in one of your previous videos that you had notes for thrawn I think it was the chiss explained video and I've been hyped keep up the hard work you do on all these videos and great job as well.🎉😊❤
I wouldn't consider Thrawn a "villain". Moreso, an "Adversary"
Enemy of my enemy is my friend/ possible future enemy? Does that work better?😅
Thrawn is one of my favorites since Zahn's first books came out.
Thank you all your work. This video was outstanding. Can't wait for the rest.
P.2 and 3 coming over next two days
I’ve been waiting for this since you made this chiss video, my favorite star wars race, and my favorite character. Im even listening to the Ascendancy trilogy and original thrawn trilogy again.

Thrawn is someone I look forward to seeing on the live-action screen.
The Chiss Ascendancy will certainly be quite the faction to delve even deeper into.
Thrawn is the only villain I would respect
yeah it will be very interesting to see how the major threat is revealed
Same
But he's not actually a villian at all
sad to see that half of Thrawn's allies/friends will be utterly ignored by the show and movie
There are so many to be fair, tons pop up just in part 3 of this and just keep coming
No wonder Thrawn was completely unfazed by all the Imperial Court Martials, answering to the top brass about his actions was probably old hat by this point in his life.
man this was good cant wait for the rest.
Part 2 tomorrow 3 the next day
In the Ahsoka trailer Thrawn hasn't aged much in the next ten years of Rebels and he is 68 for Ahsoka's series. Perhaps the Chiss of canon continuity has a longer lifespan than a human.
very possible, I would imagine at least through technology
@@MetaNerdzLore
I think I heard in legends that Chiss reach maturity faster than humans but stay at their physical peak much longer. Along with having faster metabolisms.
He has magic face cream that Bo-Katan uses.
I love how people in Star Wars either age really gracefuly or really badly, almost no in-between
Grogu being 50 and the equivalent of a human toddler is way off as well.
Keep creating this great content! Props to you.
thanks I'll keep em coming
So excited to see live action Thrawn in Ahsoka let's hope we see more of him species the chiss
me too let's see!
Great job, but for future reference the audio books have the proper pronunciation of a lot of the names and chiss words. Kepp up the good work, looking forward to the rest of the series.
What do you think I'm saying different? I listen to the books and only one I know I'm saying wrong is Lioaion but let me know
6:00 empathy, something that seems lost on Thrawn the more he worked with the Empire
6 parts... man I can't wait for this whole Complete Life to be uploaded!
Yeah I feel like I've been in a battle with thrawn just putting this together
@@MetaNerdzLoredid you win ???
This is an outstanding piece of work,storytelling,pictures, and every essential detail from the books merged together.a pleasuer to watch and listen to.
Such perfect timing. I was just thinking about how I’d love to learn more about thrawn because I never read any of the books 😂
Hope u like and really hope it eventually pushes you to try them. I think they are of the best new canon stuff
I like the naming convention the Chiss culture has. Very creative names.
Love your content, imma watch this 100 time by the end of the week at this point. 😂
Awesome to hear u like it, part 2 and 3 coming next two days
Thank you for doing this my man, Thrawn needs to be appreicated more
Very interesting Star Wars video 👍👍
Bin waiting so long for this
long have you waited?
@@MetaNerdzLoreyes 😂
@@MetaNerdzLorethrawn is one of my favourite characters
Brilliant, thanks. Can't wait for part two. :)
Up in like 40 mins
It is so artfully done!
Thanks I hope you like it
@@MetaNerdzLore I do. I hope you continue with both his canon and legends history.
Please keep doing these videos I just came across your channel yesterday idky its amazing I haven't seen you since. But I'm here now and watched all the clone videos watched these ones and I'm gonna keep going lol so please don't stop my friend
Marc Thompson did an outstanding performance voicing thrawn in the books
Facts
I haven’t been able to get into legends Thrawn because of audio quality so I just stay on cannon Thrawn. Definitely my favorite cannon character fsfs
yeah I live canon thrawn too, and hope to do this same series for legends version

Your definitely making your way to the Mount Rushmore of Star Wars youtubers
Re-watching old videos, liking, and commenting for the algorithm!
I have a question (though you probably answered it in the video already), which Thrawn trilogy should I read first? Thrawn or Thrawn Ascendency?
If you want the one that happened first it would be Thrawn ascendency
Amazing work, one of the most interesting characters in sw.
Thrawn is basically my favorite Imperial officer.
Thank you so much for this video! 💙
Imagine a serious shot like THE CROWN, depicting Thrawn’s uprising through the Chris’s Ascendancy.
Two things I think about cannon Thrawn. 1. He is on the autism spectrum (though this does not translate very well in Rebels and Ahsoka). 2. He has a small crush on Ar'alani but they’re too career oriented to do anything about it.
On God, that man is the single most autistic star wars character ever written and I don't even think it was intentional
Nice work
The greatest character of all time.
Thrown has to be one of the best none force user characters in Star Wars I love everything about his character voice down to his strategic plans
Edit thrawn^
Next to Magneto and Dr. Doom, G. A. Thrawn is my favorite "Villian" character ever written
Had to re watch this after the latest episode sheeeeeeeshhh
Oh yes Thrawn is a chad 😎, he might be impressed with some of Earth's militaries😂
I think impressed with some while others might be a bit disappointing to him but could improve.
more vehicle breakdowns pls
more coming soon, a bunch written up ready to go
I do love this character.
Hey MetaNerdz Lore, when will you release videos about The COMPLETE Life Story (Canon & Legends) of Luke Skywalker? I’m getting anxious to learn about the story of Legend continuity Luke Skywalker after Return of the Jedi.

Love your work and wonder where did you find/ get all the pics of the characters, because they fit perfectly to the whole story 👍
15:04 he is not qilori where are his fins?
Fr, all Qilori fans know about his fins
It's one of the few times Zahn ever describes his characters lol
@thelistenerwhodoesnotliste7068 Yea i Imagine quilori like monaka From dragon ball but with fins
Please somebody the song he’s using at 4:25 it’s so beautiful and I wanna cook to it 🥺🥺
Your channel, the work you put into it and the information given is above and beyond. Thank You
YESSSSSS
3:05 holy CRAP that’s a lot of names in such a short time 😅
Will this be revisited with the release of Ashoka? Feel like more changes will be made and added to Thrawn’s history in the Star Wars disney lore. Greetings from France
I doubt they will go back just add new stuff after this series
I know he’s the bad guy but damn do I love Grand Admiral Trawn
General smurf over here

6 parts 😊
The unknown regions just hits different it doesn't even feel like starwars
Not fighting, Medical Charity Work saves us.
I believe Thrawn's sister was 5 when she went to be trained as a sky-walker. Thrawn was 3 at the time.
Thrawn is one of the best written characters ever if the emperor would have listened to him and not built the death stars and just made a ton more star destroyers he would have took over the entire galaxy not only thrawn but his people all the books were great i hope they dont screw him up in live action and write him incompetent hes just a great character
What AI are you using for pics?
When you start with max INT and put eveything into CHR.
One Kearns from ones mistakes, so preemptive strikes are maybe kept tiny, please. May e ???
I didn't like how Disney Muskify Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Movie Tron is not able to cope with your human medical progression. Tron for half angels being restored to human level. In a game friendly environment .
Also wish for April Fool's videos Earth in Star Wars freat idea 💡
I built a city under the sea. Apis Bull showed this off to the world = collapse and destruction of the city. Ok things are made to throw away.
