      Half the time especially early on, it almost seemed like he intentionally let the men fail, I don't know if it was the case, but I always saw Thrawn as an individual who had contingencies in his plans, hoping they'd be used as it would lead to a greater victory

      @@SuperSayianWarrior he still won the battle of atollon. He destroyed 2-3 different rebel cells and over a dozen ships that they took so long gathering. Yes some of them escaped so it wasn't a spiritual (satisfactory) victory, but it was a tactical and strategic victory. The Rebels were completely shut down and even someone as brave as Mon Mothma was shut down. That's why Ezra's victory on Lothal was significant, as it removed one of the only people in the Empire who could actually think accordingly with the Rebels (the other being Tarkin and Vader, one who was killed on the death star, and the other who was too preoccupied about founding out about his children).

      When you read the Thrawn books, you realize that Thrawn isn't remotely evil. In fact, he hates evil and the evil in the Empire; but he's desperate to save his people. The Chiss viewed siding with the Empire as a lesser evil to annihilation from the Yuuzhan Vong/Grysk threat. It's complicated because Thrawn's duty to his people is no different than the Rebels is to theirs. Zahn does a phenomenal job writing him to the point where Thrawn comes across as simply someone on the other side of a War, with his own motivations to protect those he loves. Honestly, he's a much needed complexity for villains in Star Wars because why people join wars are for different reasons. And unlike Pryce, Thrawn doesn't seek his own glory. He only seeks to protect his people, to the point where he gave up everything to join the Empire to give them a chance.

      ​​@@soupdogstudios5354 It's really interesting when you get into Thrawn's backstory because you actually can't view him as a straight up villain. You sympathize with him because he's torn between keeping cover and keeping his people safe. He can disassociate from his emotions to use pure logic, which is why Palpatine couldn't sense his loyalties. Thrawn was controversial among the Chiss because he believed that if they were to survive the War in the Unknown Regions (which makes Empire vs Rebels look like a kid's game, it's so brutal) they needed to take pre-emptive strikes when the enemy was down. For this he was exiled, but this was discovered to be a fake out as he had caught the attention of Palpatine. The Chiss needed to ensure that Palpatine wouldn't screw them over and sent Thrawn as a spy to protect their interests. It explains why Thrawn found the Death Star both alarming and an impractical use of resources. And his desperation to save his people connects with his personal losses: Thrawn has seen more people he loves die than most know, including never getting closure after his brother Thrass was killed.
      Thrawn was unusual among his people because, while they were isolationists, he felt every non-hostile species deserved a chance at life which the Vong/Grysk threatened. He hated the racism and xenophobia in the Empire. So when he tries to reunite the remnants of the Empire after ROTJ, he actually puts policies in place for soldiers to be promoted on merit and not race. There's a lot more than that, but this should give you an indication of why Thrawn's crew would fight alongside and be willing to die for him.

      @@catodes1295 I do agree. Then dying would have had a more impactful effect. But I think, the sudden focus from Sabine's story to the rebellion and ultimately Ezra and Kanan's story would have taken away from the latter. Losing both your mother and brother is a lot. So they would need a few more episodes to wrap up Sabine's story cuz she would definitely want revenge for it. As mature as she was in those episodes, she's still Sabine, a hot headed Mandolorian. So it would definitely make this final season a little messier. They could have done it but it would shake things up a bit.
      And ultimately, she did lose both of them, and her father in the Purge of Mandalore. Rn the only family she has left is Ezra and Ahsoka. The others are scattered across the galaxy.

    Thrawn and Hera are just so perfect. The way he's casually talking and whenever his back is turned you can see her eyes flickering, measuring the situation, weighing options. Meanwhile Thrawn moves with complete confidence, every possibility already weighed, measured and accounted for. Contrasts. I think Thrawn was being perfectly honest when he said he thought it was unfortunate their first meeting might be their last. There's a certain part of him that admires the fight, wants the challenge.

    Thrawn is like Professor Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes rolled into one terrifyingly prescient and slightly uncanny valley-ish alien package. No force powers, no magic, no heroic plot armour, yet he's scarier than almost anyone else save for a few select individuals in the galaxy, only because of his sheer indomitable, ruthless intellect. Even when he's not on screen, it's as if he can almost see our heroes, like they're only ever a couple of wrong moves away from bringing him and his armada of death down on their own heads. When he speaks, it's as if he's vivisecting everyone around him, like he can break something down into its smallest relevant component parts, and reassemble it again in order just by looking. He sees your works, your wants, your needs, your plans, your mind, your heart, and your soul. He might know you better than you know yourself... and he will use this, and every means at his disposal to make you trap and destroy yourself. Utterly devoid of sentimentality, compassion, or anything which could stand in the way of his victory. He is patience and pragmatism and intelligence and willpower incarnate.
    He is Thrawn.

Faloni is a og star wars fan mentored by george lucas who has written the clone wars and several other top tier star wars series, and now hes writing ahsoka so I can assure you he will be the calm collected super intelligent strategist as in all other content he is in, and will probably lose to the stupidity or betrayal of his underlings once more.

Price lost to the rebels at their encampment on lothal while thrawn had no idea of the imperial attack as he was on coruscant, he only got back to lothal after the command center on the dome was captured and had the upper hand until space whales kidnapped him, even though the rebels recaptured the shield they would have been unable to launch the dome as it would still have destroyed the city, the shield only prevented bombardment of the city.
