Hands-down the scariest thing about Thrawn is that he respects people, both allies and enemies. Respecting his allies makes them more willing to trust him and be a more effective force, and it means he rarely, if ever, underestimates his enemies like the rest of the Empire.

To be honest, having Thrawn as a recurring villain in Episodes 7, 8 and 9 would have been a far better and more interesting choice than "Oh look, another Death Star and an edgy teenage wannabe Darth Vader." They could have even faked out the First Order as baddies by having the Resistance attack struggling and stalling out, only for Thrawn's fleet to jump in and deal the killing blow with ease, setting him up as a powerful, intimidating force that they have to keep guessing at the motives of, as he tears the First Order's ideological fanatics apart, only to then turn on the Republic. That would have been SO GREAT! But no... Instead we get The Last Jedi and Ray Sue.

If the Emperor didn't let all his Sith urges come through so much and put Thrawn in charge of military doctrine instead of Tarkin ( who gets construction kickbacks or needs physical validation of of his masculinity through giant weapons), the Rebels would have been crushed instead of the Empire falling. They could have still made Kyber crystal super weapons, but they would have instead been the main guns on the latest class of Star Destroyer, used in mass flotillas for planetary destruction, had effective point defense systems, and several wings of either TIE Advanced or TIE Defender star fighters. The fighters would have had hyperdrives and shields allowing them to be used for power projection from the carrier and for deployed hyperspace exiting assaults. You could even used them for hit and runs just like the Rebels did with the X and Y wings. The Rebellion would have had no chance to survive and there would have been a wider Imperial presence in every system because of this doctrine of power projection. Of course, letting Thrawn be that high up in the military command structure might have shown him the weaknesses the Emperor had and that Vader would make a better ruler or Thrawn might try to take out both of them and put himself in charge, so I could see why he was kept at arms length by Palpatine.

A point I noticed in the post op of how Rebels played out....Thrawn for all extents and purposes beat the rebels, and while yes he was "beaten" by Ezra it was less being defeated and more being taken off the game board so he couldn't play at all...basically removing the threat he posed to the rebellion. The method of his defeat was also much like how it was in the books in that a third party force that he did not calculate or expect to enter fray appears and tipped the scales at the last second (this happened in rebels twice). You remove the heroes pulling a win out of left field and the fact is Thrawn had the rebellion dead to rights, they didn't have anyone who could match him.

You know, at one point there was an Allied plot to put Rommel in charge of the Third Reich after assassinating Hitler, as they saw him as far more reasonable and willing to agree to a conditional peace, if it was the best choice for Germany. Just imagine how cool it would have been if Episodes 7, 8 and 9 had involved the New Republic fighting Thrawn as a recurring villain and eventually agreeing to an uneasy peace with the Imperial Remnant. It would have been a far more mature and interesting storyline that showed that a) the Empire wasn't completely wrong or evil in its desire for order; and b) that sometimes, things aren't as clear-cut as the good guys winning and the evil being vanquished forever.

Nah Rommel was a glory hound and a fool in everything outside of the showy moves. Thrawn's more like Napoleon minus the ego.

I imagine that he was given some attention by someone with influence, and as a result, the STARDISTROYERS ...eventually..would begin getting secondary command stations inside the ships' core. Superior security for the overstated placement of the primary one, unprotected, sticking out into space "...like a piece of bait".

Thrawn would often leave his lieutenants in charge of parts of critical missions and the greatest challenge for those lieutenants was realizing that Thrawn’s confidence in their abilities wasn’t misplaced.

Definitely my favorite 'bad guy' from Star Wars all around. For the exact reason I at least hope this Disney version doesn't bring in the Yuuzan Vong, they basically bore me as much as the Borg do, and trying to make them more interesting opponents just doesn't seem to work. Adversaries really are best when they're dangerously smart, but that takes more writing than monstrous weirdness with big power for only dimply-plausible reasons :)

I have placed information vital to the survival of the Fandom into the memory systems of this KZbin comment. My brothers and sisters will know how to decipher it.

I like the way they exited thrawn because there was no way he could have accounted for them. When the crew of the ghost interacted with them it wasn’t with the empire and all but the rebels lived to tell the tale. Not to mention they were probably limited by canon being produced by Disney so they really didn’t have much of a choice

I disagree, I think Grand Admiral Osvald Teshik, or Grand Admiral Miltin Takel are the best. Heck All the Grand Admirals are great. Grand Admiral Zaarin was beating Thrawn for a time. The reason I chose the ones I did is because Teshik has survived dramatically bad engagements that I don't think anyone could have, not even Thrawn. Because of an incident, Sidious openly put him on a mission that would get him killed in Haapin Space. Tashik was only allowed a light cruiser to fight a fleet of ships that numbers between 60 - 2000, all were Heavy Cruisers and Battle Dragons. He didn't win, but he didn't die as planned ether. He cared a lot for all the people under him, and during Endor he held off the whole Rebel fleet single handedly to make sure the Imperial fleet could escape. It took an hour to disable his Imperial Star Destroyer. Takel is really awesome, he takes drugs that make him a non-force based psychic. Because of this he never list any battle no matter the odds, which is why he is in the number 1 spot in Imperial records for most impressive battles. Though it didn't go into details of the actual conflict, it sounds like the odds were similar to Teshiks engagement with the Haapin Navy. One cool attribute I hope they bring back about him, that only made it to the idea phase when writing him was that his psychic abilities let him instantly understand any Language of anyone he was talking to, and speak that Language.
