he has a job to do and a master to serve, nothing more lol that's why i hecking love his character. he's not pure evil like Sidious or Vader, he's just a brilliant tactician

What about Tarkin then? They are similar in that mindset.

@Union Jack Tarkin and Thawn believe in order and both do evil things on behalf of their emperor. Tarkin is the more sadistic however, while Thrawn will destroy to show his strategy.

@@shugaroony have you read any of the canon Thrawn books?

@@Hereth_Edits Not the old books, nor the new ones. I just based my opinion on his actions in Rebels and what I deemed his personality to be.

@@philipb7400 With any luck he'll be the next main antagonist of the new trilogy after Skywalker.

@@QwuithLordDartox Timothy Zahn said he's Writing a Thrawn book set after the mandalorian but due to the current state of the next trilogy he can't do to much

@@philipb7400 I think Thrawns defeat was great in season 3 the show that the one thing he can't predict and doesn't understand is the force so they use it against him

@@bin8350 What current state?

@@QwuithLordDartox well disney currently has no idea on what to do for the next trilogy so until they get there act together the books can't be published

too bad where disney actually puts there fingers in it always turns out shit

@@si2foo not with Filoni. The thrawn we saw in rebels was just a small sample of his potential, he’ll be amazing in the Ahsoka series.

@@everythingdibs344 exactly Filoni anything = phenomenal show

@@everythingdibs344 Yeah, Rebels is a kids show. They had to simplify him so younger audiences could understand. Since Ahsoka is going to be geared more towards teens and adults than kids, the dialogue and writing for Thrawn will be much smarter.

@@icefarrow7959 yup, can’t wait

and now plays in live action too.. crazy, huh?

More like a game of Chiss amirite?

The scariest is when you allow him to invent the game you're going to play against him.

I almost want to see what happens to the officers in their downtime. A bunch of them start playing a game like Risk and Thrawn still dominates the entire game despite knowing almost nothing about it.

Wilhelm Screamer pupils as in students or eyes?

@@LikeaBossk627 Eyes. He isn't supposed to have pupils, just pure red eyes.

@@LordVader1094 it was probably done to make it easier to follow his eyes

His voice is incredibly good. I can totally listen to him reading an audiobook in Danish despite I don't understand a word lol. Still, I hope one day they will add English subtitles to the historical documentaries he hosted...

@@lainzhong8729 They should put some eng sub on that stuff. I'm sure you're not the only one that wants that. His brother is also a good actor, Mads Mikkelsen if you know who that is.

@@kj12351 I was wondering if he and Mads were related. Pretty cool.

Why

Yes, and I'm all for it.

ikr, hope he's in 9...

@@brittanyjtaylor2638 welp

your wish is granted.... sort of

Your wish has been granted

Filoni verse movie confirmed! 🤩

They just announced that Lars will play Thrawn in live action.

This comment aged like fine wine

@@somedumbspammer4408 I mean...I don't know who else they could get to play the role so well. I was stunned when I first heard Lars voice Thrawn. It was exactly how I imagined he'd speak when I read Heir to the Empire.

I feel he did well. A bit older Thawn than was seen in Rebels, but it has been close to 10 years since Ezra got the Chimera dragged off by purrgill.

It should have just been the Thrawn and Vader happy hour. With them eradicating rebel groups left and right.

Main heroes = 7/10 Main Vilains = 9.8/10 The Vilains are the best part of Rebels (exept that oficer from season 4).

Apparently he helped consult on the show and is consulting for live action Thrawn too.

@@mish375 So the Ahsoka show is going to be his baby as much as it is Filoni's.

@@HolyknightVader999 It sounds like it. Filoni confirmed that he and Zahn are working together to bring elements of Heir to the Empire to screen. Obviously they have to make changes. But some people are suspecting that maybe the Filoni movie will tie all the series together and have the Grysk threat.

They mention it briefly on another behind the scenes for the music

nope but he is in the new Ahsoka Tano show

He knew and he said it was a bad idea. So did Vader.

Thats a sub-plot of the series and main plot of the new Thrawn trilogy. He didn't like the Empire putting all it's resources into the Death Star and championed his TIE Defender project.

@@thomaskirkham45 And had Kanan not yeeted himself along with all the fuel, he'd defeat Rebellion forces

@@thomaskirkham45 his tie defender should have gotten a whole fleet

@@viktor1337w That moment when you realize that if Palpatine had listened to Thrawn, the Empire never would have lost.

They're literally 22 minutes. He is featured heavily in most of the episodes in which he appears, and if you want to skip the non-Thrawn episodes you can just look up when he appears

Yes, they are from the Blu-ray release of each individual season.

What should they do?

EneEnecca they should of continued both timelines and had the new canon come up with original ideas.

Legends is hodgepodge of contradictions and retcons. That horse needed to be taken out back and shot. I'm not saying it was bad, mind you (there certainly was a fair bit of crap; Crystal Star, Dark Empire, etc), but even certain amazing pieces of work like the Thrawn Trilogy don't fit into either of those timelines you proposed. Besides the whole point of naming the old canon Legends was to imply they were rooted in some sort of canon. If Disney did continue both timelines they'd be alienating a very large portion of the fan base from that content and make about 125% of what they're making now, at 200% the cost. Like it or not, you can't fault a company for making sound business decisions.

@@JXEditor >Dark Empire well we get that back...

The people doing this show are not the same people who erased legends. Its obvious that they do their best to bring the best of legends to canon again.

It's in keeping with character. Thrawn rarely kills subordinates and when he does, he does so for a reason. He doesn't go rage mode like Vader. The speeder scene was him sending a message.

That particular scene is very similar to his first book in Heir to the Empire where he has a tractor beam operator killed on the bridge of the Chimera for letting a ship escape because the operator wasn't prepared for the trick the ship used to get away. The purpose of it being, that everyone else on the bridge studied their manuals/operating procedures so they wouldn't make a similar mistake. One of the better portrayals of him in my opinion from Rebels because overall I wasn't too impressed with how they handled him.

Haha yeah, rebels is for children and those with the mental capacity of children :)

@@Ghidorah96 Ahhh thats cute.

Well, these rebels did blow up Tarkin's Star Destroyer, so I'm sure that insult would warrant a major response. The Emperor's #1 guy just had his flagship exploded by these random peasants and their Jedi leader, so sending in the alien who has a good mind for warfare would have to do.

you missed the point. a rebelion strives on hope , it is the whole subtext of RogueOne, SW Episode4 and even the season 1 finale of SW Rebels. that is why any little form of rebellion should be deal with the most brutal and powerful action the quickest way possible. Hence the logical arrival of Thrawn when regular officers failed to shutdown the breeding resistance.

Eh- no. He’s still out there bro. He’s coming back

nope

I don't think you've read the books because there's a lot more to his character than that.
