@QwuithLordDartox Ай бұрын

As always Thrawn was right, "The Empire is a magnificent construct." Far greater than it's predecessor and successor, it's only flaw is having fools like Tarkin or Krennic being in command of it's advancement. Which is why I'm whole heartedly certain that if Thrawn ruled the Empire from the very beginning, then there would have been no need for a Rebellion and the Galaxy would have truly been unified under the most brilliant mind it has ever produced. LOVE YOUR WORK ALWAYS!!!! Can't wait to see the next one. I hope it's centered on Palpatine's decades long Contingency plan (from Operation Cinder to the Final Order).

And yet the Galactic Republic lasted 25,000 years. The Empire didn't even manage 25.

@SolidAvenger1290 Ай бұрын

@@samalvey8168 that's why many people love Thrawn and why some, had he lived beyond Legends, could have created the "Galactic Federation" in Star Wars. A few years ago, Eckhart Ladder posted a video asking this question: had Thrawn survived and beaten the New Republic in Zahn's books. Thrawn hated that the racial elements inside the Empire fit against non-humans (the same groups that became part of the Separatist Alliance against the Republic during the Clone Wars). He could have gone much further than the Republic by centralizing the galaxy after the Paplatine's Empire. Despite their good intentions, the New Republic could not still centralize & unify many planets with differing statuses, beliefs, etc., after Episode 6. Look at how the inner colonies treated the outer colonies in many sci-fi stories like Halo, Star Trek, etc. Star Wars's geopolitical landscape is still similar to many of these works.

"A hero is only as good as their villain.” This video should be an induction video for every disney staff on the Star Wars project team by showing that the empire isn't a one dimensional villian for the sake of our heroes, but a systemitised, regimentent organisation that should be effective at what they do - Coerce control across the galaxy.

@@tommyp440 okay true might be aggressive but like from the officers, thrawn, tarkin, etc. idk andor might have what I want but haven’t watched it yet.

The Empire had so much potential if it weren't built and led by the Sith. We got to see that potential in Legends' Fel Empire which is basically run by a sect of Jedi. These "Jedi" are the Imperial Knights. Knights loyal to their Emperor, to their people, and to the future of the Galaxy. It is a shame Thrawn was not alive to see the Fel Empire. Long live the Fel Empire. Long live Marasiah Fel, descendant of Anakin Skywalker. Long may she reign.

@alessiocapone9816 26 күн бұрын

Long Live the Empire! Sorry for the delay in the comments! Seriously though, You should be awarded a prize for Your editing and content. Thrawn said it best:" Many in the Empire will trade lives for profit. Over time this will create a weak and demoralized Military. The Empire will slowly crumble." And that's exactly what happened. Had Sidious listened to people like Dedra and Thrawn and scrapped Project: "Stardust" early on in His reign, spreading out the funding, the resources and the manpower by spending them on projects like the Twin Ion Engine multiple-role Starfighter or " Defender" , the Dark Trooper Program and devised a more flexible Naval Doctrine and Fleet, His Empire would have lasted far longer.
