- Thrawn explains why one must exercise. This quote has been uploaded as a short before on my channel. After reviewing it, I concluded it missed some extra quality and lines which have been added to this one.
I have also changed the clips so they fit more than before.
I hope you will like this kind of rework :)
Last line is basically: "On occasion, one might find themselves in need of throwing hands."
"So put up yo paws, rebel scum"
Spoken as he beats the crap out of Callus. 😆
Facts
Yep
I was thinking sexy time, so I’m glad you set me straight.
Basically Thrawn believes you should never skip leg day.
Crap, I failed only leg day November.
I only run.
"Leg day is brain day. Dont skip brain day"
- Grand Admiral Thrawn
Or any day, for that matter
Didn’t skip mine today, looking to keep it going next week!
Essentially...I mean neither do i
“Do you even lift, commander?”
"Perhaps"
Maybe 🤔
Bruh.... I lift heavy things using the force! Get on my level!
Gotta use a period instead of a comma 😂

Thrawn could be explaining which breakfast cereal is the healthiest and still make it sound menacing.
Why do I actually want to see that
Many consumers of the present day put little thought into the processed cereals that they consume. Uncritically, they consume only the sweetest of their grainy breakfast foods, occasionally supplementing them further with pure sugar to boot. Anything less is simply unpleasant, and thusly worth avoiding.
Or so they think.
The body is a complex machine of biological components, interweaving ecosystems put to singular purpose. The grains in cereals take time to process, powering a healthy body all throughout their morning. Simpler nutrients are already accounted for in the milk that cereal is so commonly submerged in. Anything more is redundant at best, and at worst?
Merely dead weight.

Holy shit I read that with thrawn voice's
"Turn your mindset into a grindset."
-Sigma Male Grand Admiral Thrawn
literally his character
honestly he should just run the empire, let palpatine do the politics tho
More like palps can do his sith stuff and he can do the rest
He grinds so much he's even on Grinder
@@Clone-up2ge Tarkin should run the politics and then Palpatine would do Sith stuff. That's how I wrote it in my Marvel Star Wars crossover stories.
I swear, Thrawn is like if you made Sherlock Holmes one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Nice analogy
@@thomaspurol9322 tyvm.
That was Zahn's original intent in Heir to the Empire - Thrawn and Pellaeon were based on Holmes and Watson
Every book from the Thrawn Trilogy with Eli Vanto in it plays out EXACTLY like a sherlock holmes book, with Eli filling the role of Watson
He was a combination of Sherlock and Napoleon, who had an uncanny knack of predicting his enemies' moves.
Remember that it was physical strength that let normal dudes throw hands with Sith lords back in the old republic
FACTS, that generation of Republic troops were the absolute GOATS
@@hurricaneace143 Yeah nowadays Gen Z stormtroopers suck ass
@@vapingfury4460 😅 honestly, how much of a connection is there between the new gen stormies and our younger gen if adults
The Old Republic was before Darth Bane enforced the Rule of Two. Bane believed the force was being spread thin if there were too many sith or jedi, making the individual force user weak. And since there were so many Sith in the Old Republic era, their power was lesser. You can see that with the Jedi in Order 66, where the clones in a suprise attack killed off their Jedi superiors without much effort.
Tl:dr The sith back then were pussies.
@@Jay-rc3on I still think its impressive
At this point I don't know how much of Thrawn's speeches are canon and how much of these are just Thrawn's VA reading speeches.
Thrawn's VA could literally read anything and it would sound both appealing, incredibly intelligent, incredibly menacing, and like a very good idea.
Then mission accomplished.
The best part is this isn’t the same voice actor that does him in rebels. He’s just really good
This part is actualy read by the narrator of most of the Star Wars Audiobooks
@@Brianna-ns7iy For real? Amazing, I've seen some VA's pulling these kind of performances off, it's sometimes insane how talented they are and how often they're still underappreciated.
As a Martial Artist for over 15 years, and a personal trainer, these are some of the stuff i've been trying to tell both clients and students and some people at the gym.
Training is far more important than what people know.
How does fitness affect the brain ?
@@nerdgeekcosplay909 It doesn't realistically, however striving yourself to push forward, despite your pain, muscles aching, or loss of motivation, can effect your mental endurance as well.
@@nerdgeekcosplay909 They say a healthy body leads to a healthy mind.
@@darthkenobi6726 Of course it does, don't spread misinfo. Thrawn put it pretty well around 0:30.
The blood vessels running through your brain are supplied from the same muscle as the rest of your body. Regular exercise can be a very mentally stimulating activity and has been linked to an increase in brain volume. It has also been shown to delay and slow the onset of neurodegenerative diseases as we age.
Kind of like "sweat more in training, bleed less in battle?"
Thrawn out here exposing me for not going to the gym
It’s crazy because I realated to what Thrawn was saying so well. I noticed how when I exercised intensely for long periods of time daily, it was like my mind was open in and any negative emotions were released. I just had a clear mind. And your subconscious just saw problems for you without you even knowing it. I wish could know how to manipulate my subconscious to my advantage
Could you maybe describe the intensity of your exercise? I’m taking notes so that I too can gain a clear mind.
Jeremy G basically I do push ups, pull ups dips and chin ups. Just using my own body to make it stronger. I also don’t listen to music when I work out. I just distract myself from fatigue using my own thoughts so I believe it helps me clear my mind after I am finished working out as well. Relying and motivating yourself is most important, especially when you can only depend on yourself
Thrawn probably has a quote somewhere teaching you how to do that too
Yes I can relate as well whenever I go on walks with or without my dogs or whenever I’m doing eargos my mind becomes somewhat clearer, I can visualise better, and it often helps me solve problems
Subconscious works as a term to describe certain experiences but it doesn't actually exist. Of course your brain does things that you're not conscious of but those processes can be affected by your conscious mind.
Exercising helps with negative emotions for many reasons: You get to release your energy, you flood your brain with chemicals related to positive emotions and you have an opportunity to relax your mind and focus on a healthy task, like a sort of meditation.
*Message to the kids*
“Exercise regularly, and you’ll be as awesome as me, Uncle Thrawn.”
Every person should strive to be more like thrawn
What I loved about thrawn was how comprehensive he was. He never underestimated learning the culture of his enemies to supply context for their actions, made sure he would be physically ready in case the need arises despite being a higher rank, never committed to one plan without alternatives and contingencies he could switch to. He’s the kind of commander you never want to be fighting
He was not only a great strategist and tactician, he was a leader of men. I'm sure a lot of people would want to serve under Thrawn, not because they believed in the Empire but because they wanted to be led by Thrawn.
Or... The commander worthy to serve.
Absolutely right. One look at me or you, and he's got us in a heartbeat.
He’s the one you want to be under or to not have on the field, if he’s against you, run
In the book The Last Command, by Timothy Zahn, Thrawn used his understanding of the local culture of a planet to judge a trick (appearing to fire straight through their planetary shield) would be enough to make them surrender. He was right.
Ahsoka Thrawn had a cheat decade instead of a cheat day
And this is why Thrawn is more dangerous than half of the admirals in the Empire. Because he can actually fight when he’s cornered by his enemies
On top of that, he INSPIRES greatness. Nothing is more terrifying than a well trained, highly motivated military ready to go all the way in
Thrawn has intelligence, incredible mental and physical capabilities, intimidation, and charisma. It's hard to get a step ahead of Thrawn.
If everything goes Thrawn's way, he doesn't even have to fight, he knows how to just make forces lay down their arms and surrender. But when he has to fight, you better believe he knows how to come out on top.
Oh yeah he can throw hands
Although Thrawn can defend himself if the need arises, he never actively seeks out these fights, which is understandable. His true strength lies in his mind, after all. But on the rare occasion (and I emphasize "rare"), he has to throw hands he's more than capable of doing so. It helped him survive Kallus's assassination attempt using his training droids and later beat Kallus himself in old-fashioned fisticuffs.
Meanwhile live action Thrawn hasn't hit the gym in decades
Thrawn stopped working out in Ahsoka
💀 People complained that Ashley wasn't brought back to play Older Ahsoka even though she doesn't even look like ahsoka and when they do bring back a voice actor people complain
Bro forgot about this between Rebels and Ashoka.
As always, thrawn is speaking facts. Physical exercise relieves one of stress, and helps you think more clearly and focus better when you return to your task/work. Warriors should also be strong in both body and mind, as should leaders in order to set an example. Now, I have to follow the advice and start exercising more often
Right on. A nation that makes great distinction between its intellectuals and warriors will have it's fighting done by fools and thinking done by cowards.
also, the guy in Starship Troopers made the same *point*
I was about to skip gym this morning because I slept in. Then this video popped up.
A far more detailed ideal than what Tarkin was fond of thinking. Much like Thrawn, (and despite his age) Tarkin was also a firm believer in a leader being capable of getting their own hands bloody. (Seem to recall in the comics way back that Tarkin *LOATHED* that so many of his officers were so soft skinned.) Funny how the two highest ranked AND competent command officers were personally so dangerous despite being non force users.
Competent tends to equal dangerous, especially in a military context.
Palpatine chose wisely.
Tarkin and Thrawn would make spiffing OSS Operatives.
The Thrawn from Ahoka looks like he forgot he said this lmao
I was about to slip back into the agony of anxiety and depression and about to go to the psychiatrist and take whatever they prescribe me again, when I decided "screw this, I'll go to the gym".
Well, I certainly don't feel the agony anymore and my sleep schedule is back on tracks. And I don't know about where you live but here a month at the gym costs a quarter of a psychiatrist visit.
Both have their advantages. Though the cost factor can hardly be denied (unless one lives where health insurance covers such a thing).
Unfortunately, in the modern day, psychiatry (and most medical practices) have become nothing more than pill pushing fronts because the money they receive from prescribing medicine greatly overshadows what you actually pay them for a session.
That's why I prefer traditional talk counseling over psychiatry- anyone who goes to medical school is indoctrinated into the "drugs are the cure" school of thought.
Although I will admit, even with regular counselors you have to be choosy and find one who actually listens and wants to help you.
@@Kuroyami0Fukaikuro Psychiatry has always been about pills. If you don't want pills, go to a psychologist.
I thought you were going to finish off with "screw this, I'll go stomp out the Rebel Alliance in the Outer Rim worlds" but the gym is ok too.
Before you go to the therapist, first see that;
1: you quit rafined sugars.
2: cut hyper processed foods down to the bare minimum
3: cut your overall calories from drink/food, down to a healthy level compared to your hight/sex.
4: have a stright sleep rutine of 7-8 hours. 7 days a week ( included weekends
5: exercise 5 days a week, 30-50 minutes a day. Also walk more. Stand while you are working. Take the stairs. Walk to the store while buying groseries quit delivery services
6: declutter you home of all stuff you don’t need
7: declutter your life of all assholes/narcissists.
8: Also take a hard look at your self. Are you a asshole/narcissist?. What parts of toxic traits can you stopp doing?
9: live your life with the 8:8:8 rule. 8 hours sleep. 8 hours work/study/productivity etc, 8: hours laisure/relax/play. When you sleep. Just sleep. Don`t watch tv in your bed ( laisure). When you work, just work. That is quit multitasking and focus at the task at hand. When you have laisure time, then relax or play. And just that!. That is don`t sleep watching tv. Or work while you play games. Do one thing at a time. And try to be stright about this.
After you have taken 100% accountability fore these habits/mindsets, you can be more sure if you need a therapist.
Edit: Okay everyone - I got it, it's not as "recent" as I thought. I just personally thought it was pretty cool to see this fact adapted into media like this.
As cool as it sounds - what Thrawn’s saying pretty much lines up with recent scientific findings. Excercise, even the simple act of taking a walk, does help your brain and hence the intellectual process significantly.
Healthy body = healthy brain.
A healthy body is a healthy mind!
Damn well why doesnt it work for me 😭😭 I walk a mile literally every day, with a heavy bag and everything smh. guess maybe i need more sleep or something
@@kyoza5069 It's probably sleep yeah. I used to have a similar routine during Highschool but I'd zone out or doze off during class - likely due to lack of sleep with a combination of boredom.
I still zone out or doze off during classes lol.
@@mishaalkisan1688 sounds like either too much sleep or too little. You should find th right amount of sleep for you.
@@theblasteffect4499 Oh yeah definitely.
And I've recently been struggling with my sleep schedule - but I'm making efforts to adjust and change it.
he needs to take his own advice
Legends thrawn is different than canon thrawn
The link between increased intelligence, mental health and exercise; especially in childhood development, has long been known and studied. This is just science.
To be fair, when one looks at the number of time armchair generals wind up facing off against special forces teams in star wars, it only makes sense to get swol.
This quote actually motivated me to start doing exercise for both my health and mind for losing weight to reach my goals to get to my desired size. Although it's not easy to do and especially when most of my friends and family keep saying that I dont have to or I'm just fine the way I am. I have always struggled with my health because of it and I want to get better be able to do more and live long and healthy. And I will do everything I can to reach it even if I relapse or make mistakes I will do everything I can to correct my habits and become better.
A wise decision, fellow warrior. I have also gone back to the gym these last weeks, guided by the same motivations as you. Keep up with your training, don't give up and, most important of all, study art.
You have my utmost confidence
Be wary of people who want to make you comfortable in your shortcomings. Some of them are misguided, and some simply don't want to see you become better. Either way, they can hinder your progress.
As for me, rock on, man. Be a better you every day. =)
You got this. Doing the same thing myself. Looking to make it more of a hobby than a chore. You will stumble and fall along your journey. When you do, pick yourself up, dust off and keep pushing. This journey is for the best version of yourself for yourself alone. You got this!!
Good job dodging the toxic positivity
And now Ashoka show gave him beer belly
Well.
I love Thrawn so much because he basically takes the warrior-poet ethos and masters villainy with it.
He mirrors Sabine in a way
villain? hes the good guy
@@waschbaer6466 no, his archetype is a anti-hero-villian. While it is possible that he can become an anti-villian or redeemed-villian he was the arch-villian for rebels.
@@bwc-chvd Sabine was a reluctant flawed hero. Thrawn isn't flawed in the reluctant or personality wise, his flaw is related to the philosophy he represents.
Exercise also develops confidence.
Nothing makes you feel more like a badass like the first time you realize you have developed the strength to lift and throw a small human being.
If ever there was an example of the importance of exercise, it's this guy 😉
As if only Thrawn's new dad bod he's rocking is the worst problem he's gonna have...
"Strenght" is definitely important. As is the more commonly known physical ability: strength. ;P Silliness aside, I'm hooked on this videos. Really looking forward to the next Thrawn book next week!
I'm hooked on this videos as well... lol
Wtf, what do you mean thrawn book?
Is this shit more than just videos?
@@amitsangwan007 Google
Gym Bros and Martial Artists: “Did you just say what I wanted to say but smarter?”
I love his phrasing at the end there. Right after he says that "simulated combat often ends with the warrior discovering that one or more of those questions have been unexpectedly solved" he just leads into another line saying that "occasionally, such exercise can serve other purposes."
It's genius! He's giving you an unsolved question at the end and prompting you to exercise yourself to figure out these other purposes yourself.
Exercise occupies the body and allows the mind to focus on something else. After HS and before I got a car I had to walk everywhere. At first I thought this was a pain, but soon realized what it was. Nearly every moment of my day was taken up from when I got up and went to class to work to coming back home to sleep. The 2 hours every day I spent walking became my sanctuary. A time where my mind could be wherever it wanted because at that time there was nothing more it could do to help my situation. It was also some of the best shape of my life I was ever in.
It's cool how his idea of why an admiral should train physically is similar to why Jedi should learn to fight even as pacifists.
For discipline and to strengthen the mind. Understanding mistakes and the world around them.
Well this didn't age well lol, Ahsoka thrawn probably ate too many night sister tacos xD
Thrawn is literally the Alpha and Sigma in Star Wars. I feel like Timothy Zahn has an affinity towards both Stoic philosophy and Julius Evola.
Based name-drops my fren. Ernst Junger's essay "on pain" may be of interest to you.
Based
Stoicism? Absolutely. Julius Evola? In what fucking universe do you live in lol. The Thrawn novels, by Zahn's own admission, are heavy criticisms of the constraints of fascist systems like that of the Empire.
@@thebossness1440 The reason i said Evola is because of his book The Metaphysics of War. Now its been awhile since i read it but i could see Thrawn's character agreeing with some of its points. Thrawn agrees with the Empire, thats obvious. The books make it clear is a villain and that he is indeed, wrong, thats why he dies. My point about Zahn having an affinity for it didnt mean i meant he agreed with it. I meant that he actually might have read it or something close to it to make a compelling character. Zahn is very well read from what i can tell so i dont think its implausible to say that he read Evola's work. You can read people's work and still disagree with them you know. I read Evola, i read Marx, that doesnt mean i agreed with either of them. Sorry that my original comment was not clear on that.
@@thebossness1440 You realize Thrawn operates within that fascist system? Therefore it would be logical to take from fascist systems of belief to build the character around.
It's too bad Thrawn saw Mon Mothma and her followers as enemies instead of potential allies or at least useful assets. He would have to have modified some of his policies and attitudes, but the resulting government would have mopped the floor with the Yuuzhan Vong.
You have to remember that in Zahn's original trilogy, Thrawn was not the good guy that Zahn later made him out to be. Rebels actually comes closer to this original Thrawn- a ruthless genius who was motivated by conquest and power. Zahn did later say, though, that he intended for Thrawn to be the sort of character whom you could imagine fighting for either side.
cannon thrawn might be fighting the new cannon vong, the grysk................
@@sumanadasawijayapala5372 Rebels Thrawn wasn't motivated by power. He simply recognized power is a strategic asset to accomplish your goals. He was motivated by duty...his Commander officer Grand Moff Tarkin ordered him to capture the Rebels. So he attempted to do just that.
In the Thrawn canon novels it's revealed Governor Pryce asked Tarkin permission to use Thrawn to capture the Rebels. Thrawn did this to ensure the Emperor would help him fight the Gryssk's.
“Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind” -Bobby Fischer, World Chess Champion
First video I went to, after seeing how 'fat' Thrawn was in live action
He somehow makes healthy exercise sound menacing. I love it.
I would repeat all years of school if it means he's the teachers
That moment when Thrawn has a healthier mindset and attitude than 90% of humans these days
this is actually scientificly correct. i heard of a study of students and the ones who exercised the most had better intelligence and were more socially skilled.
I will take "Important Character Details missed by the Ashoka show runners." For 1000 Alex.
If I told my childhood self that one of my favorite Star Wars characters would end up being someone who isn’t force-sensitive, he’d probably never believe me.
“Admiral Ozzel. Your lack of ability to see your toes greatly impacts your leadership skills more than your cholesterol clogged brain can comprehend.”
I'm in the gym right now and this is some of the best motivation from the least likely place. Star Wars.
Thrawn is the motivation I needed to start exercising
Thrawn is probably the only fictional character I would say completely fits the sigma male archetype
I wouldn't call him Sigma. He's an Admiral. He is high up in the chain of command. If anybody in Star Wars is Sigma its Han Solo. A high achiever who does not follow any set of rules imposed by others.
You are both wrong, Palpatine is the ultimate sigma.

As a Marine, this is 100% true. Now, before someone jumps in and says “of course a Marine would agree… your job is to be a ground pounding warrior…”, most of the jobs in the Marines are not being a rifleman. There’s our supply Marines, admin, maintenance, mechanics, embarkers, and almost every SNCO job is mostly HR paperwork… that’s just the world we live in… but the Marines who push themselves in their combat training, martial arts training, as well as their non-combat job proficiency, are the best, most focused, and most professional Marines you can hope to find. They’re also the ones who often get the furthest in the Corps.
What is a Marine's opinion on those who are gifted in creative thinking and cultural/cognitive analysis but high in neuroticism, physically deficient, and lacking in emotional stability?
What kind of lifestyle should such a person be leading for best results in your opinion?
@@StarboyXL9 such people are wonderful civilians. They may even be great contractors to do various projects for military needs outside of being a uniformed member (we need artists and composers to create things that motivate the rest of the service members, we need scientists who can think differently to create technology that can help us on and off the battlefield, or help to make prosthetics for those who may have been seriously hurt). And, honestly, any physical activity can benefit a person, in ways we don’t expect. But, if someone has core problems in their psychology, they should not join the military as a uniformed member. The military life is very stressful. Boot camp/basic training is designed to break a normal person down, then rebuild them in the mindset of a warrior. Someone who already has issues may get broken (mentally) so much, that they become suicidal. We don’t want our own citizens to die.

Thrawn is the perfect warrior. Body, mind, training, attitude, all honed and integrated to achieve victory.
"The enemy cannot press a button if you disable his hand." -Sgt Zim
LOL this aged well
In a very coy way, Thrawn is also calling the Empire lazy fat narcassists. Most Troopers don't train beyond basic training hence often they are manhandled by their opponents most of the time. The Clones trained constantly however and it shows.
Also his body anology reminds me of the Force Speech Obi-Wan gave to Luke in Ep 4.
To sum it up
"If you exercise, you can send anything to meet god. Whether it be with your mind or your muscles"
That is Some true warrior philosophy.
“Civilize the mind, but make savage the body”.
“Victory is only for those willing to pay its price” -Sun Tzu
Clearly, Aristotle studied the teachings of Thrawn.
I agree though. If one were able to train their mind and body to the next level, they will become more powerful. Those who think that training only their mind and not their body are only letting go of their potential and vice versa
The gym is not just a place to build muscles; it is a battlefield where we forge our character and our will.
My inspiration to exercise
That one kid who’s never touched a weight in his life giving a motivational speech to the gym class 😂
You can fall asleep listening to his calm voice
"We will begin with physical preparation" Thrawn when he is training his new recruits.
"A warrior without intelligence is a savage brute, where an intellect without strength is a coward." -I forgor
"The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools."
Thucydides
The Philosophy of Thrawn would be a book I'd buy.
Im gonna listen to this every day to discipline myself into working out regularly
For me, Thrawn is part Sherlock Holmes, part Niccolò Machiavelli ("The Prince"), Part Sun Tzu ("The Art of War"), part Miyamoto Musashi ("The Book of Five Rings"), with a dash of Rommel and Patton thrown in.
He whould have read them all and made his upgrades
Thrawn: It’s also about drive, it’s about power.. we stay hungry we devour. Put in the work, put in the hours. Then TAKE what’s ours…
He believes “The body is an extension of one’s mind“
Something the whole fandom needs to pay attention too
That is correct. Physical health improves your mental health.
Plus, it doesn't hurt to achieve building up your body. As Socrates said "It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."
(But who am I to speak. I'm skinny and weak😂).
once again wise words to live by say what you
will about Thrawn but his wisdom knows no bounds
Exercising can truly change your mindset. It forces you to concentrate on the process, the perfection of every details, not just the goals
Why did this give me actual workout motivation
i loved the original thrawn novels so much. thrawn was such a different kind of enemy because he was not inherently evil like the emperor, nor a brutal enforcer like vader. he had a brain and used it with great success. he's ability to predict enemies was believeable because he used sound logic and tactical understanding. i truly wish the original thrawn novels could be made into movies. if they followed the books very closely the movies would be incredible to watch. timothy zahn is basiclly responsible for reviving the star wars franchise with those books. there were other books out before but none came as close to the original spirit of star wars before that. no matter what disney has done the expanded universe will always be the real star wars to me and the thrawn novels are a big part of why. i honestly wish he hadn't been killed off when he was because i would have loved to read about him taking on the yuuzhan vong. i have a feeling with thrawn directing that war it would have been over much, much sooner.
I, personally, think Thrawn worked because we knew so little about him. His species, his culture. He was a total enigma. Like a negative-Yoda. The reader was never given a glimpse into his thought processes, his inner thoughts, his life before. A then-unknown Grand Admiral that no one knew about, coming out of the Unknown Regions, and… an Alien, a non-human.
I think Thrawn lost a lot of his mystique the more that was written about him. And I think that mystique added to the appeal and the power.
If anything, I would’ve loved to have heard more about this abandoned Empire of The Hand storyline that Zahn was proposing.
@@WhiteScarsEmo 10 months late but what was the Empire of the Hand storyline? A continuation from Survivor's Quest?
All soldiers and officers of the empire have to be physically fit anyway to still be in service.
"get fuckin' swole, kid." -Thrawn, probably
Thrawn is yes right
Its why even for all our military might in new technology, we still have PT standards. To keep our military fit and possibly sharper as well
ROTC Cadets and athletes have higher average GPAs than their civilian/non-athletic counterparts. This even applies across schools and majors.
The mind evolved for one reason: to stimulate and coordinate the intricate movement of tissues. All else is secondary; if a creature is not meant to move, it will not have a brain, period. Thus, the act of movement is an indulgence of the very purpose the brain exists; a workout for the body is also a workout for the mind.
Budget some time in the gym after class, kids.
Well put
This motivated me more to work out than any antidepressant could ever
I got a gym ad before this video started
The fat-shaming going on for Thrawn's voice actor in Ahsoka is astonishing. Calm down, y'all
Fat-shaming. Lmao, piss off.
Can I get Thrawn as my college Accounting professor? I feel like I’d actually listen to his lectures and actually find Accounting interesting if that were the case.
Thrawn can make anything he's talking about eerily unsettling and threatening, I don't care what it is and how ridiculous it is.
Thrawn should’ve been an instructor. Because the Empire would’ve had better soldiers among their ranks.
I’ve said it once and I’ve said it before, Benedict Cumberbatch needs to play a live action Thrawn at least once in my life-time, or I ain’t dying
I also think Clive Owen could do well in that role.
