One thing I love about Legends (EU) content is how hard they worked to give each character from the movies, no matter how small, their own backstory and make them seem essential. If you haven’t read the Legends novel Death Star, I _highly_ recommend it as it fills in a lot of backstory for the various people on the Death Star and how the plans got leaked (pre-Disney)

@AshanBhatoa Жыл бұрын

That novel covers a small portion, to be fair. Good for developing backstory, however it's contrived ending is a little questionable. 500 X-wing starfighters being obliterated within a maneuver the Alliance wouldn't have ever taken. The Death Star schematics were stolen multiple times within the EU.

Romodi, after listening to about 10 waves of artillery: "I think I'm going deaf." His officers: "Then why don't you withdraw from the frontlines, you psychopath?!" (The Chad) Romodi: "Nah, that's stupid. Just cut out my eardrums and replace them with cybernetics, that'll do well enough." (a little while later, after *literally blowing up* ) Romodi: "I can't see, and I feel like I'm floating. What happened?" His officers: "You were blown up by a grenade! You're stuck in a bacta tank BLINDED! NOW will you take a break?" Romodi: "No, just replace my eyes with cybernetics and describe the battle to me, I'll continue from here." His officers (justifiably horrified): "WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" (Fabricator-General) Romodi: *"Even in death I serve the **-Omnissiah-** Emperor."*

He may have been an Imperial, but really he had to have to just imagine how many Rebel Leaders had to change their pants. After learning this Chad not only was not killed in an explosion, but also directed the war from a Bacta Tank. Not even Vader could do that. Or even any other military competent Jedi would be able to do it. Or no story has ever been told of a Jedi ever doing it. Meaning, this guy is a Giga-Chad that schooled fancy glowstick-wielding monks on how to direct a war.

A true model Imperial officer, whose courage and tactical traits in many of the Empire's successful campaigns have earned him to be deserving of reverence and respect. Imagine if his name was added to the list of competent Imperials, that would be a huge boon to the Empire. Some might even call him an equal to Grand Admiral Thrawn. If there's one wish I cold make about this guy, it's that he would the regional governor of the Outer Rim instead of Tarkin. That way, the Empire wouldn't prove to be weak, let alone vulnerable.

I'm not so sure about that, I think it depends on how long the fight lasts. Thrawn excels at winning prolonged battles and campaigns where he can afford to take losses while analyzing his foes' strategy for weaknesses to exploit (what sets Thrawn apart from his contemporaries is that he's completely willing to take a loss if it means gaining something that will be useful to him later). Romodi, on the other hand, thinks on his feet and improvises, and would probably win if he can end the fight quickly enough.
