![All Imperial Ranks Of The Galactic Empire [Canon] Star Wars Explained](/img/n.gif)
This first scene has some of the most high-ranking individuals in the Empire and one location Grandmoff Tarken, afello Moff, grand Admiral Thrawn, another Admiral, and then 1 of the top spies in the ISB
this is kind of overlooked but when Slavin keeps on saying xenophobe remarks towards Twi'leks, Thrawn gets enraged, not because Slavin being a shortsighted idiot, but because of the xenophobia he faced when he was recruited by the empire (the empire looks down on other alien lifeforms unless you are deemed useful, that's why you mainly see human officers and soldiers in the empire)
I don’t think it’s that, Slavin was talking about the artwork and wanting to destroy it. Thrawn always loves art and how it can be a representation of a species. He doesn’t mind officers being xenophobic, he dealt with that a lot in the novels. But to disrespect a culture’s art? That’s a line too far for Thrawn
Barely made it 30 seconds in before being reminded how filoni tried to make thrawn seem like the average imperial bad guy but smart while zhan constantly came from behind with his books to explain what thrawn really is.
Wait really? How so? Filoni wanted him more goofy ?
@@RaKalamando I think it was less trying to make him goofy and more 'obviously evil'. Back in the original Heir to the Empire Trilogy Zhan always managed to find the perfect line between voutright villain and anti-villai nwith Thrawn. He was not a good person but never outrageously evil. Moreso 'not good' in the sense that no one is good in war in general and that he specifically was fighting fo what most would see as an opressive system. More importantly, while not a good person it was very easy to want to like Thrawn, to imagine yourself on his side, because he was a good commander and he always did his best to fight honroably and inimize casualties. He was fighting to bring back an opressive empire but he had reason that were understandable and as an individual he was a VERY good leader. Someone you'd want to be leading you.
Filoni sort of threw all that subtelty and layeredness away. Oh sure he kept Thrawn's intellegence (well, soemwhat, he was a bit dumbed down in Rebels but not so badly that I couldn't enjoy it in the context) but he still came across as unabashedly evil as the rest of the empire (even if he was shown as 'more civil/honorable to this opponents) and we never got to see why the soldiers underneath him were so fanatically loyal to HIM. Honeslty it was a major missed opprotunity. They could have had an episode devoted entirely to Thrawn on the Chimera (his flagship) where we could see him at his best. The beloved leader who effectively led his men and cared for them in ways that many other Imperial military leaders didn't. Perhaps even learn why he valued the Empire as a system over what the Rebellion wanted. Have him discuss the pros and cons of what the Rebellion wants.
However, the funny thing is, Zhan proceeded to then write a trilogy of books that take palce during Thrawn's time in the empire where we see al lthe above mentioned layers. We see him rise to power and why his people lvoe him. We see how he dislikes unneccassry casulties, even on his enemies side. We get to see the far more nunaced man he is. Still a person working for a bad system, but one who is fa rmore an anti-villain now than anything else. (We also learn a bit more about that 'Battle of Batonn that he mentioned got him promoted to Grand Admiral. To not spoil the books too much, let's just say it wasn't at all what the show makes it sound like.)
@@ajanis95 Thrawn didn't like the Empire's needless brutality of its subjects, but what he approved is the idea of a centralized leadership. The Republic for all its freedom, it's too chaotic and easily corrupted from within, the Empire on the other hand has a much more firm grasp on such things, but the Emperor didn't care about the day to day operations of his Empire so it decayed and allowed corruption and weakness within. Thrawn is a bit of an in-between, what he envisioned was to bring back the Empire but not the needless brutality and wasted resources on super weapons. A well equipped vast navy that could cover the whole galaxy easily and keep peace and order.
As you mentioned, he disliked causing casualties, he wanted the Rebellion to surrender, he didn't want to kill them all. If anything, he would have welcomed them into the ranks of the Empire because they would be extremely great assets, not without being under constant observation of course, wouldn't want them to cause troubles but still, he wouldn't let them rot in a cell, it's pointless.
Grand Admiral Thrawn, TY
@ajanis95 I'm six months late on this but well said. Lol
He got the sigma face
Thrawn is so bad ass.
as allways in SW, imps were grossly underpowered and rebels op
man ahsoka really did my man dirty
From thrawn to Gabriel iglesias with that belly they gave him in ahsoka
Why do they make it sound like thrawn killed the civilians at baton? He was furious at Price.
From memory he reluctantly agreed to take credit
Indeed, in the novels he was angry at price because of what she did. But as Governor price said, he has a knack for military command but not so much in politics.
Because Pryce convinced him to take credit of it as well as build up his reputation. That scene works on so many layers because of the novel. We know now Pryce is the one who caused those casualties and it’s Pryce who speaks up when Kallus mentions the casualties. It goes to show you Filoni and Zahn were working together closely for this
