Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SemperGumbi: Crazy that the best characters in this show are the villians! Hollywood has been like that for a while IMO. They write characters better if they can relate to them because they've done the stuff the character does or that they think about doing themselves a lot. You can bet there are certain villans they'd be expert at writing. ETA: Imagine how believable a lex luthor would be if written by a studio exec. "Hey boss, what would you do in this situation?" |

Why even bother building the Death Star, at that point? Just hurl one of your hundreds of cruisers at a planet. or build something like the ship they took to the new galaxy and instead of transporting a star destroyer have it pick up a heavy metal asteroid and launch it at a planet. |

I just don’t see the allure of Thrawn as the big bad guy.
“What’s his superpower?” “He’s really really good at strategy.” “And ??” “Yeah… that’s it” I mean, let’s look at Palpatine/Sideous; he played a strategy that spanned decades and involved himself leading both sides of a galactic civil war where he defeated BOTH sides as well as killing thousands of Jedi and Destroying the Jedi Order. Like a 20 year old plot that deafeated 3 armies and left him emperor of the galaxy. Forget being a good strategist… Sideous can see the fucking future. And even AFTER he dies… he STILL is strategizing a comeback from the shadows - leading a fleet of 1000+ planet-killing Star Destroyers. It took a SJW woke Mary-Jane “Jedi” (that trained for like a week  ) and the world’s most convenient plot devices to finally kill him… and he pretty much killed himself like an idiot.Even Baylan Skoll can see the future and move shit with his mind as well as all the other Jedi/Sith stuff. Thrawn ain’t shit. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RayFromJersey: The point is that no one could actually build a hyperspace weapon like that because the hyperspace technology in common use is basically just a shared program. Only Holdo could have designed something like that. Even if we take that at face value: “Only Holdo knows how” - So instead of capitalizing on this unique knowledge of “how to hyperspace battering-ram your enemies” and weaponize it to decisively win the rebellion… Admiral Space Karen waits until every other capital ship in the fleet runs out fuel one by one and is destroyed, shoves everyone onto transports (many of which get destroyed anyways) then sacrifices the last big ship they have to kamikaze. Brilliant. Even if the concept can’t be weaponized for whatever plot-hole-sized reason… even if she’s the “only one” that can do it and has to be there to do it… why not get on one of the smaller escort ships early in the pursuit and turn around and kamikaze the ship tracking them while the rebels still have all the other ships and people to continue fleeing? She waits until her little stunt is absolutely pyrrhic. “I’m going to only sacrifice myself, but not before letting half my people and all my ships get destroyed and I’m certainly not going to tell any of my command staff beforehand either.” What a retard. Hell, even if the kamikaze thing didn’t exist… just have each rebel ship Pick a different hyper space destination and drop out of hyper space at different points along the way and rendezvous back together later. One of the imperial ships is tracking one of the rebel ships to what way to go and when to drop out of lightspeed… so uktimately sacrificing the one ship being tracked is better than keeping them all together to be tracked/followed together. The imperial fleet drops out of hyper space and then sees only one rebel ship and it dawns on them that oh fuck they went to different places and all the others get away. What’s that joke about maybe Godzilla is just a normal sized lizard but looks huge because he’s attacking Japanese people?… Maybe Thrawn isn’t that amazing/smart to begin with; maybe he’s just slightly above average intelligence and the entire rebel leadership are just morons with room temperate IQs. |

Just watched episode 6.
I liked it and saw nothing wrong with Thrawn's appearance. Yeah, it was a slow burn episode but I thought it was good. Also...Hasbro needs to make a bunch of those Death Troopers and Enoch. I need them. |

So far my headcanon is Thrawn has known exactly where Ezra has been the whole time, and that he hasn't been actively hunting him down because he let him go/they parted ways on equal terns. The reason being there's something else on this planet they are afraid of.
Think about Bendu. He not light or dark, he's the one in the middle. What's to say that the only light side/dark side force users out there are Jedi and Sith. Nightsisters (present here) are dark side force users. There's likely something else here. They've alluded to it too much. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HiramRanger: The Admiral will always be well fed especially when your stormtroopers are resurrected and likely don't eat. Can you explain this for me, please. What's the deal with his troops? I just assumed they'd been put thru the ringer while surviving in exile on that planet. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TheTallest: Just watched episode 6. I liked it and saw nothing wrong with Thrawn's appearance. Yeah, it was a slow burn episode but I thought it was good. Also...Hasbro needs to make a bunch of those Death Troopers and Enoch. I need them. You don’t want Thrawn? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RTUtah: Can you explain this for me, please. What's the deal with his troops? I just assumed they'd been put thru the ringer while surviving in exile on that planet. When watching with captions on, these stormtroopers are desceibed as "night troopers" - an obvious not to a connection between them and the Night Sisters (the force witches). Their armor is held together with red banding and gold kintsugi (the real life Japanese art of repairing thing with gold). We've seen a version of this with Kylo Ren's rebuilt helmet in Ep 9. Anyway, everyone is speculating that some terrible fate has felled Thrawn's troops here and that Nightsister force magic has them reanimated (much like Marrok was a reanimated Inquisitor). The undead army is new to Star Wars. I really hope that these guys are alive - a fanatical cultist army loyal to Thrawn is far more interesting to me. We'll see. |

Kate Upton could sit on half these guys faces and suck them dry and they'd still complain. Guess we should all be sunshine pumpers and say this show is perfect. Nothing will ever be perfect, but not everything needs to be nit picked to death either. True. |

I have decided I like Shin the best. She has potential to have a good story arch.

Thrawn's Stormtroopers have been to Hell and back. Literally. The planet is an evil doomed planet and look at their armor. Their armor has been smashed and put back together using the Japanese technique of Kintsugi. So something really bad happened to these Stormtroopers in battle and pretty sure the Night Sisters' dark magic has resurrected most if not all of them.
