As I understand it, the Death Star also had an escort fleet which he sent away. As a politician he likely wanted the sole glory of destroying the rebellion and didn’t want anyone else stealing his thunder. Hence how in Rebels he hamstrings Thrawn from simply wiping out the Lothal Cell at the...

Also, given that she’s a beautiful redhead, there’s a terrifying possibility she might have been race swapped. Maybe it is for the best Mara was spared the attentions of the Great Horned Rat…

He is quite insistent in that regard. Star Wars Rebels would have been a perfect opportunity to bring Mara Jade back into canon, for example. Hunting low-tier Jedi well beneath Vader’s radar would have worked well for a young Emperor’s hand, and fulfils Kathleen’s “girl power” quota.

It depends. On a surface level, certainly. But things like the Battle of D’Qar and most of the actions in Star Wars Rebels flummoxed the audience. When the standard cinema goer has a firmer grasp of generalship than the writers, we have a big sodding problem.

As much as some people don’t like what Andor represents, that series is hilariously better written than anything else in the Age of Disney. The minds behind HBO Chernobyl couldn’t do anything else. But seriously, although he didn’t have a firm grasp on it either, George seemed to understand...

There is no place for military competence in Filoni’s world. Which in of itself reflects a very old problem in writing: you can’t write a character who is smarter than you. I’d dispute the “can’t” part, but it is very difficult. And Dave Filoni obviously doesn’t care to learn how.

We’re attaining new levels of cringe here, boys. The Ghost is not better than the Millennium Falcon, and I will challenge any fuckwit who says otherwise to Holmgang.

Cringe. Very cringe.

Just because George Lucas does not, and never cared to, understand the intricacies of military matters does not mean one should follow his example. Edit: As time goes by, it just gets sillier.

No he can’t. Something like Avatar the Last Airbender leaves a steaming pile of shit like Star Wars: Rebels in the dust. Filoni has been overrated for a very long time.

Oh right, I see what you’re driving at. Thrawn isn’t quite a monster, but he will do monstrous things if he feels like he has too. He won’t exactly be happy about it but he’ll do dreadful things in the name of Imperial Order. He’s no misunderstood hero. Quite like a Roman General in that...

That would have been a bit stupid. I don’t agree with the idea of Thrawn being “evil” so to speak, as he simply isn’t the monster that Palpatine or Tarkin were, and its not simply a matter of efficiency, but he is fundamentally at odds with someone like Ezra. Space Aladdin likes his freedom and...

By the way, lads, I’ve done a dumb dumb. Lars Mikkelson voices and plays Thrawn. Mads Mikkelson is his brother who, amusingly enough, appears to better fit Thrawn’s physical description. Further, whilst being pudgey and slightly hunched over are strikes against him, Lars has got the acting...

Simply put, because that is default Grand Admiral Thrawn. This is who we’ve known from Heir to the Empire onward and even Rebels (which fumbled him so badly) displayed him as being highly physically capable. And in a situation where supplies are stretched thin…putting on weight whilst having...

If Captain Enoch was now what the default stormtrooper looked like henceforth, I’d deem the series to have had a positive effect on Star Wars. The whole Roman legionary thing is a look you can’t go wrong with.

On the subject of episode 6, Mads Mikkelson is obviously having a blast as Thrawn and his voice is wonderful as ever, but as a YouTuber called ArchCast noted, he’s bit too much of sixty year old pudgy Dane to perfectly fit the role. Also, as for his first appearance…come on, have the troops...

I mean…the Ahsoka series is trash. It survives of nostalgia bating, not good story telling. It’s even got those God forsaken space whales of all things in it. I’m just here to watch poor old Rosario Dawson (a good actress completely squandered on this script) get thrown around like a ragdoll by...
