Warhammer memes intensify!

Sooooooo metal!!!

Eli winced after hearing that

@@majorseanli I agree with Eli.

Or how the Greek gods names were changed when Rome adopted them.

It makes it interesting that different, unconnected cultures would have different names or views of the same thing. In fact, it makes perfect sense. It'd be bizaare if different races across the galaxy "just happened" to come up with the same name for the same thing.

Catalyst375 I agree with your statement and, in connection, as an aside, I might believe more in religion if more cultures had, in the past, came up with the same names for religious figures/ideals that were never heard of from other cultures. For example, the Christian Tower of Babel story as being the reason why humans have more than one language makes me laugh. It’s like saying that aliens should also call water the same name as a human language calls water, because “god” gave them that word, in whichever language he gave them before “we” built the tower

Filo I ruined him 😭

Nah, I've always seen them as siblings, family. Like he has his lost sister back, but also, obviously, someone else. But still their friendship is absolutely amazing and one of my favs.

There are two possible ships actually, with Ar'alani and with Thalias. I was a bit skeptical about Thalias at first - she has an obsession to say the least, erm erm - but she turned out to be a pretty cool character. Personally, given the events of the three books, i think i'd rather ship Thrawn with Ar'alani and have Thalias be more of a sibling to him. One thing is sure : Che'ri is like a daughter to him and being with her is the closest we've ever seen Thrawn to manifesting parental instinct 😂

absolutely. it would be nice to have something like that

this is only because Zahn is writing

Even zahn himself had to mention his character was being brought into canon, not “new canon”.

It may also refer to its relative safety and stability as in lesser chaos.

Jeff Goldblum for live action Thrawn

I don't think it actually got changed, Outbound Flight says he was merit adoptive, so idk what he means

These are the things we NEED to know damnit!

Even more intimidating

Daniel Hales Thrass was mentioned

Why do all the supporting characters around Thrawn have to be female? Wasn’t Thrass Thrawn’s brother? I find the “over the top” amount of female characters irritating.

Beaglenoseknows Thrass is still canon, and idk, if it’s done purely for political reasons that’s pretty lame, but if not, who cares? The three+ main villains are all male, Bakif or whatever is a man, etc. I’d say it’s actually pretty balanced in comparison to previous novels.

@@bluetickbeagles116 they're good characters so idgaf what gender they are

No Star Wars Rebels to work around, yes

@@imperialistopinions2276 ok. Hope he does have it on the other future books.

Oh yeah. He had literally no continuity to have to deal with, since he's dealing with the Unknown Regions and almost all completely unknown characters. I imagine books 2 and 3 will remain relatively as free as this one.

@@jonathankoan hope so. If Disney doesnt come up with any bullshit.

Like others have said he had a lot of freedom with this. The only thing I really can think of is timing when Thrawn goes to Batu and meets Anakin.

This is canon now

The Hand of Thrawn duology in a simple nutshell.

He's secretly a Jaws with a a growth disorder...

Wut???

Rentor

@@goodmind4940 sorry, I meant what planet is Alex guessing he was born?

Pandora

Csilla

Jixtus, I think he's a grysk and I also think the 2023 trilogy is grysk wars....

If Vagaari are canon what's the point of Grysk?

Андрей Шурочка Thats what I was thinking. I thought the purpose of the Grysk was to replace the Vagaari and Yuuzahn Vong as a new evil threat given that they share similarities. They’re both from the Unknown Regions, are nomadic conquers, enslave worlds, and were planning to invade the known galaxy.

@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 The Grysk are only to replace the Vong. The Vagaari weren't that consequential in the long run. Pretty sure they got their butts kicked in Survivor's Quest before the Vong invasion.

Let's hope the Yuuzhan Vong suddenly have an appearance in the next two books of the trilogy. Also hoping for a so-called Star Wars Multiverse wham moment, so to fix some... idiocies.

It is? I thought it was a Sith world

@@antartemis5688 no Copero is a home region of the chiss in Old republic game in the later content you do a mission for them on Copero and slaughter a faction of chiss

Not canon anymore

@@withmuckguy3362 well who cares no reason it can't be as its still listed on the "canon" star map 💅

elliot green I know this whole legends/canon thing is dumb

Yes

Read it *dewwit*

"He's a Skywalker, she's a Skywalker, you're a Skywalker, I'm a Skywalker! Are there any other Skywalkers I should know about?!"

Because Zahn thought it would be a funny coincidence when he made it up for Alliances and didn’t realize he’d just stuck himself with the name for a whole new trilogy.

@@Mayakran sounds incredibly stupid and lazy

Cody such is the worldbuilding in Star Wars. I guess it can ruin your day or you can move on.

@@Mayakran doesn't ruin my day, I can critique something I love and be fine, and still go on with my day, sw is my #1 fandom so ofc im gonna have an opinion on the things I think just dont work
