Okay, here's a pivot back to the Ahsoka show.
O no man I was kidding. Discuss what you want lol. I’m not like that
That’s it! You asked for it
While I didn't care for Holdo (especially her look), I blame Rian Johnson for her more than Laura Dern. I was more annoyed that he felt the need to build up her and Leia by making Poe Dameron look like a bumbling idiot who was incapable of seeing the bigger picture. I don't know what was worse, that or having them keep their destination a secret from the crew. Talk about illogical leadership decisions.
I'd assumed Thrawn found a way back himself, rather than someone finding him and helping him return. Aksoka knows Thrawn has returned, so she's seeking him out to find Ezra and he and Thrawn vanished together.
Wrong sonic ! You trying to trigger me?
Listen to ironwez20.
You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
I'm assuming that the Thrawn in this series will be more like the version in Rebels, which I consider a drastic departure from how he is portrayed in the novels (both old EU and new canon ones). His motives for Imperial affiliation are up to Filoni.
Yes, the new canon Thrawn in Zahn's book didn't come across as an out and out villain. He had a reason for allying with the Imperials.
Rebels Thrawn was more of an archetype villain, and nowhere near as layered or nuanced. But that may be just because he was being used in an animated show targeting younger audiences, thereby keeping things basic. I hope the live-action version will have motivations more aligned with the novels, but not holding my breath.
Yeah I hope the same but I'm not convinced Filoni really understands Thrawn or that his writing will be different for live action. We can only hope for the best. Who knows, maybe Filoni read all of Zahn's Thrawn books and now appreciates Thrawn on a deeper level than "he likes art".
Filoni definitely read the books. I have no doubt about that, and don't even doubt that he understands Thrawn's characterization in those stories. The question is just what goal he has for using Thrawn in terms of serving the Mandoverse story. If he doesn't want to introduce the Chiss and all of the backstory involving the threats to them that Thrawn is most preoccupied with, then we might get a more basic type of villain. I also worry that the writing of Thrawn's intellect will suffer. Zahn did a great job with that aspect, and I'm not sure the Ahsoka writing will be up to that sort of carefully-crafted strategist standard.
I think ultimately no one can write Thrawn like Zahn.
They are both alive, as you can hear them bitching about losing an are and getting sliced….
Evazan's murder ended the only doctors office in Mos Eisley, and the Baba kids never saw dad Ponda ever again.
