How many TIE-fighters can a X-Wing destroy before it gets destroyed itself? 20? 30? 40? Now put it against TIE-Defenders, the X-Wing might be able to defeat 1-2, before getting shot itself. THAT is a big difference.
Problem is the empire had 25k star destroyers at its peak to replace all of their tie fighters , interceptors and bombers would have been insanely expensive considering the defender is far superior to most starfighters
@@jameslennie5203 To be fair, it only needs to replace a fraction of the fighters to deal with bigger threats, tie fighters can still be used to effectively deal with minor pirates, smugglers and local criminals.

Agreed. The rebels struggled against one or two tie defenders at a time. If Thrawn’s project hadn’t been shut down/blown up and he hadn’t been dragged to the unknown regions, the original trilogy would’ve gone very differently.

For those who never read the book; one of the key methods that Thrawn used in planning his attacks is studying the history of his enemy through their art, a kind of psychological profiling. By doing this he gained a better understanding of how his enemy would respond to his attacks. As unconventional as this method is, Thrawn’s strategies often proved correct and paved the way for victory.
Thrawn gives lill bit of information to all his subordinates just to find out who could be the actual leak. That is how intelligent spy catchers work. Loved it.
I love the beginning showing the tactical knowledge of the three of them. Lyste said it's just a section of the retaining wall. He's not as observant as kallus, while kallus knows more about the design, he doesn't study it like thrawn does.

He clearly respects Hera, and while he does not understand the Force- respects Kanan and Ezra as well as warriors.

Wish they would've shown a bit more of his positive traits from the books. He valued his troops and he always welcomed feedback and opinions from his officers, as long as they ultimately followed his orders. As a result, his forces were incredibly loyal to him, since they knew he would be reasonable and wouldn't throw their lives away needlessly.
I know everyone’s focused on the grand Admiral but can we appreciate Liam O’Brien for a moment, nothing you do anything special or seen it’s just he’s really cool
I like how he evaluates the intelligence of his officers as well by always asking them their view on whatever he's studying. I also like how Kallus is almost intentionally acting kind of naive around Thrawn.
It says a lot that the standard for a great military leader in the Empire is that he a) doesn't have an ego, b) makes use of reason and logic and c) he never underestimates his opponents.
I have watched this so many times, and I have only just come to realize, after watching critical role, that that is Illidan Stormrage. The lieutenant, that is
Imagine playing chess or degerick or however it’s spelled with Thrawn. I’d love to see him in Squid Games. I feel like he’d either destroy everyone/make it really far, or die in the second game.

I know everyone’s focused on the grand Admiral but can we appreciate Liam O’Brien for a moment, nothing you do anything special or seen it’s just he’s really cool
thrawn is good at what he does
I like how he evaluates the intelligence of his officers as well by always asking them their view on whatever he's studying. I also like how Kallus is almost intentionally acting kind of naive around Thrawn.
Thrawn is a genius.
Jesus Kallus is hilariously obvious.
He's like Han Solo without the swagger
Thrawn is the only reason I was able to tolerate this show.
It says a lot that the standard for a great military leader in the Empire is that he a) doesn't have an ego, b) makes use of reason and logic and c) he never underestimates his opponents.
I would love to enter into thrawns office and somehow have him talk about the Jedi temple guards to me.
He knows something about them, you can tell.
I have watched this so many times, and I have only just come to realize, after watching critical role, that that is Illidan Stormrage. The lieutenant, that is
*Correction:*
Thrawn FINDS the truth
Liam O’Brian *and* Mary Elizabeth McGlynn in the same episode. This series had serious VO talent throughout all four seasons.
0:50 Note that Kallus was slightly distressed when the other officer told Thrawn about the two "Workers."
This is a million times better than the ST dumpster fire
Small improvements make BIG changes if all of your units get them.
Mail and that we could’ve had such an interesting clash
Is it just me or does the villains always beat the heroes in awesomeness
I can hear Liam in this clip man
You might win the battle but the war will always be the one whos the last one standing.
He knew Anakin was Vader, he figured it out in 5 seconds.
He also quickly discovered that Anakin was dead, refardless of who Vader was
2:33 Kallus are you *trying* to get discovered??
Thrawn is too good an opponent to the main characters.
he is like g man
Oh hey, Liam O'brien!
Yup
Actually as the cabbage man says, Liam Oberon
@@waaaghface1925 we're counting the cabbage man?
@@darrylhammett63 The cabbage man is eternal, he is like the anti talisen :P
@@waaaghface1925 that's fair.
Tells Theawn you can't handle the truth.
O:57 lothal wolfs
I see Thrawn has stolen a Jedi Temple Guard Helmet placed at his desk
Thrawn is threatening but not condescending.
No matter how small the insect he will not underestimate it.
This is the reason why he is so effective.
Imagine playing chess or degerick or however it’s spelled with Thrawn. I’d love to see him in Squid Games. I feel like he’d either destroy everyone/make it really far, or die in the second game.
Probably the best non force sensitive villain ever. (Sorry Gideon, but your all talk)
I really hope the voice actor for Thrawn also does G-Man
Thrawn’s voice is fucking spectacular
Calm, chilling, sexy (If your into that)
Imagine being used to working with the likes of Ar'alani, Eli Vanto or Commodore Faro and then some fool looks at a wall and tells you that it's a wall.
At least he identified where the wall came from. I doubt Captain Slavin would have known that much.
would love to see thrwan lead the mandalorians with an army of mandalorians his tactical know how he would be unstopable considering the empire mined all the beskar and he works for the empire
