Bruh Thrawn critiques the Death Star to Palpatine's face and doesn't even flinch when Darth Vader shows up. My man got galaxy sized balls of beskar.
Confidence in his intelligence and value. No petty feelings, just ruthless efficiency. An amazing villain.
There is a reason he is the true Heir to the Empire.
Dont forget that he is a Chiss. They are very intelligent creatures.
Pure beskar at that too... They clang so hard it can be heard from the Outer Rim when he walks
@@jovanblackman2608 it dont clang.....it fuck'n RINGS.
Guy voicing Thrawn did a great job!
Right? He IS Thrawn
It's amazing... Lars will be proud!!
Though the guy voicing Palpatine needs some slight work. It's a tad quick and normal sounding. But it is good though.
He was great in this comic. I actually prefer him to Marc Thompson's audiobook version, which is fantastic btw
No, it was terrible.
If the Emperor had listened to Thrawn there wouldn't be a New Republic.
Yeah…the prequels really bring into question how Palpatine went from a 4d chess master to the type of dude who’d build the same failure twice as oppose to anything else.
I would say that, considering the threat from beyond the galaxy, Palpatine did nothing wrong.
Except that The Force probably would have worked in mysterious ways and found a balance regardless
@@Raii_Chu I'd like to remind everyone that George Lucas based on the Jedi on the _losers_ of the Japanese Feudal Era.
@@creed8712 The absolutely most essential character trait to understand in Palpatine is his MASSIVE ego. When youre not in charge ego tends to become ambition and hence it allowed him to stay humble as long as it was required for his plans. The moment he got absolute power all that suppressed ego overflowed and turned him into a shell of a man obsessed with compensating for the years he had to hide what he percieves as his own greatness. Any intelligence and rational thought would be drowned in a sea of self love, ego and superiority complexes. He was just as intelligent in his later years but his confidence in having achieved all his goals and being a god in his own eyes made him feel like he had no need to think or scheme. He truly believed that there was no possible future where he wasnt emperor for eternity.
You know, if Thrawn, rather than Tarkin, was the Imperial officer that Vader worked with most frequently, the Empire likely would've won against the Rebellion 🤔
Those gosh darn TIE Defenders 😔
Tarkin was a politician, not a soldier, which is the entire reason he lost. The efforts to retcon him as both were so ridiculous.
@@thekrimsontower I wouldn't say there was any retcon to make him both. There was a development of story to show he has a military background, but that does not make him a good soldier. He's shown as a politician in a uniform all the way from the Clone Wars through to Episode 4. His sheer incompetence in military tactics is evident right from the moment you first see him.
@@sorrrbet4923 The comics making him a sport hunter who almost defeated Vader with a child soldier upbringing and a six pack under his coat at the time of Alderaan's destruction were a bit of a stretch for me. The entire point of the original film was he did not understand military strategy at all, he gives every indication of being a politician who has never seen armed combat. He may be incompetent but he has also canonically won battles before. I find his arrogance not to evacuate more believable if he hasn't ever been in the position of a soldier.
@@thekrimsontower having read this and taking it under consideration my opinion of Tarkin has changed dramatically. That comic really doesn’t make much sense when put in line with his consistent incompetence.
Very, *very* few are allowed to openly question Darth Sidious about anything, and I think it’s because Thrawn does it from a point of view that’s still solely subservient, and backed up by legitimate logic. That cold fearlessness must be why Sidious wanted him so high in the Empire.
The Emperor also deeply respected Thrawn.
@@Gala-yp8nx That too, for sure. He likes self-made people
Yes Thrawn not coming at him arrogantly either but humbly when he gives advice
It's also due to his role - as Grand Admiral, he must look at the larger strategic picture.
Thrawn was also atypical in that non-humans didn't tend to advance very far up the ranks.
Any person... whether villain or hero who keeps a straight face while meeting Vader for the 1st time has my respect 😬
Let alone doing it with the emperor, and candid about the Death Star.
wasn't the first time
thrawn and anakin worked together during the clone wars
@@11geosno Thrawn did not know yet that Anakin and Vader were the same. Palpatine said he died during the Clone Wars when they first met and he asked about him. Thrawn later figured it out though, much to Vader's chagrin.
@@thekrimsontower well he had suspicions of Vader's identity
@@michaelbracho3956 Later after spending more time with him, yes. Here, I think it was too soon for him to put two and two together as he only knew Vader's name.
Thrawn is one of the only people that Vader couldn't read, which is pretty darn impressive. I loved how Thrawn kept throwing subtle hints at Vader's identity, but Vader had no idea what to do with it because he couldn't tell if Thrawn was toying with him or not.
its just a comic calm down
I love how in every situation Thrawn is in, he's in COMPLETE control. Even when facing the emperor who he knows damn well is incredibly evil. He has no problem asking him about a top secret project he's not supposing to know about because he knows he's far too valuable for the Emperor to kill. Heck, the ending of this particular trilogy Thrawn wins against his opponent while standing on his enemy's bridge the entire battle.
"You're not going to kill me."
"How do you know?"
"Because..." (explains in detail)
"Oh crap, you're right."
What I love is how Thrawn not only tells the Emperor in his face that it's a bad idea to bet everything on one Death Star, he was right twice. You just know that when they started building that planet sized one he would have had a fit over how stupid it is to put even more resources into a planet sized Death Star just on the grounds it's even more vulnerable than the Moon sized one
3 times, if you count the First Order's attempt in the new trilogy.
Dude the subtly of your voice acting is so nice. People tend to overdo the emperor, because he's so larger than life, but I love how you make him sound like a believable person.
good catch
The genius of Thrawn is in seeing the connections in little details that others miss, and from them extrapolating an accurate pattern. His only defeats resulted from circumstances he couldn't have known in advance.
Yeah like Space Force Whales or his loyal bodyguard just deciding to stab him for no reason
I hope it's a decent adaptation of the Thrawn Trilogy back into canon! So excited when she said Heir to the Empire!
I hope they don’t make him a black and white villian
There’s something about rebels Vader design, the more slender and refined look makes him more menacing tho Vader always commands a room when he enters
Anakin: actually we've met before.
Thrawn: What?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Thrawn knew.
Did he knew at THAT precise moment ? dunno if I remember wrong but I thought he deducted it after they actually (re-)met ?
@@luxderudder9420 I think you're right.
@@luxderudder9420 I think he already knew abt vader being anakin when he first spoke to palpatine about anakin
For like a solid 5 seconds I thought you guys had actually managed th get Lars to voice Thrawn in this.
Well done D. Tyler. Your voice is f*cking perfect.
I wish to hear more from you in the future!
For those of you that don't read the books, Thrawn and Anakin had a whole ass adventure in the Clone Wars right after Ahsoka left
So Vader knew who exactly Thrawn was right off the bat
thank you. i was wondering about that.
Which comic?
@@pleaseenteraname2745Thrawn Alliances
Back when the character was badass, you can see all the characters are being respected in this
Vader greeting Thrawn cordially speaks volumes.
Emperor: I had told lord vader this story years ago, but did you ever hear the tragedy of darth plagueis?
1:48 I vote Thrawn: A Star Wars Story Live Action Movie with Thrawn, Gilad Pellaeon, Rae Sloane, Nial Declan, Rukh, Gree(Clone Wars Flashbacks) and Darth Vader
I would pay $100 to see
Who else is excited to see Thrawn in live action?!
@Invalidcookie I'd love to see Eli Vanto, I wonder who could play him?...
I am
Me.
@Invalidcookie I would like to see him too.
Me! It's been 30ish years some of have been waiting. I completely trust Filoni and Faveroue (misspelled) to bring us something worthy of Zahn.
The emperor had actual respect for thrawn. He normally sarcastically banters with others but he takes the grand admiral very seriously
Probably because he realizes how dangerous he can be if he was against the empire. Thrawn has shown he can win in unwinnable situations.
AM so happy we got Grand admiral thrawn in ahsoka series
Let´s hope the Serie is good und Thrawn is the best part in it. If we get another Kenobi, they destroy like half of the liked carrackters
Nah don't worry Kathleen Kennedy won't ruin this because John Favreau literally threatened to leave Disney because of her and the other Producer said what he wanted to stay and he said I just want to work on Ashoka without her interrupt my work and change it for the worse 😂 and that's why he is the second goat director/writer of lucasfilm
@@Pegasus_Gr source?
@@Narwhyn Search it John Favreau almost left Lucasfilm because of Kathleen Kennedy because he didn't let him do the mandalorian as he wanted
@@Pegasus_Gr I searched it up and only saw an article saying "This has been confirmed by a trusted source."
That source didn't give their source. They just said that it's been confirmed.
I'm also not going to believe an article who uses opinions as objective terms. They said TFA, TLJ, TRoS, and Solo were bad movies.
I don't necessarily disagree with that opinion, but they're stating it like it's objective. It comes across as someone from the Fandom Menance writing it, which eventually leads to bias.
TH-camrs that are in The Fandom Menance constantly disapprove of Kathleen Kennedy, and defend Filoni, Faverou, etc. This same behavior seems to be radiating from this article, and I just cannot trust it for that reason.
I'm sure you'll understand.
Emperor: Let’s see what this blue alien guy has to offer
Vader: I think he will be another ignorant officer to terrorise.
Thrawn: I infer you are building a Death Star and you are the former Jedi Anakin skywalker
Emperor and Vader: *Pikachu shock face*
Would have liked to see Thrawn and Vader actually interacting some more rather than just Thrawn and Palpatine talking about the Death Star.
thrawn's such a dope character, I never had access to starwars comics growing up, this channel has been amazing in showing my the awesome history of the starwars story.
Vader: "Yes... we totally haven't meet before."
VERY nice voice acting! So much better than some of the AI programs people have been using. A real voice always sounds so much better. Kudos to Thrawn’s voice, really captured his particular cadence
Whoever is voicing Thrawn is such a perfect fit that I wish they could voice Thrawn in all official media as well
It would have sent chills down my spine if Vader ended “as am I” with “grand admiral.”
Office talk is really weird when you work for the empire.
"Hey, I know about the plans of killing trillions of living beings with this mega project that got all floors working on it, I should say that this can make our other clients mad with delays."
"Don't worry about it, Darth Vader and Barbara are working on it, they have an Excel presentation tomorrow."
Thrawn > Tarkin
Don't underestimate the power of my mind
This video alone, with the way you voiced Thrawn in particular, has made me a subscriber. I can't wait to watch more of your voice work.
One of the only person in the galaxy that can stand in a room with Vader and the Emperor as an equal
Well thats as good as a wet sloppy kiss vader saying he was also pleased to meet Thrawn.
😂😂😂
The narration and background music makes this thrilling!
I like how Thrawn is respected enough by Sidous. Like Thrawn finding out about the Death Star? Any other imperial officer probably would be have been killed instantly.
Or tortured until he gave up his sources, then killed.
I wonder if Thrawn ever learned Vader's Real Name, Probably. He does have quite the intellect. Although like Tarkin he probably never openly said it.
He did actually. In the book Thrawn: Alliances, it’s heavily implied that he knows Vader is Anakin whom he met during the Clone Wars
This was very well done.
I’m a big fan of your audio comics especially the thrawn ones. Keep it up!
Great voices.
I love the way Thrawn's eyes glow in his reflection on Vader's visors
From the thumbnail you can see in their eyes the affection they have for each other. 👁️👁️😊
They actually have a romance in the comics
Awe. Vader was ok with the pleasantries here.
Three powerhouses in one room
I'm happy to see that you guys are still posting your work needs more appreciation. You put so much work into your videos it's amazing.
Darth Vader enters singing: "Yo lision this is a story about a little guy that lives in a blueworld and all day and all night and every thing he sees is just blue like him inside and outside blue, blue in house like the blue little window and the blue corvete and everything is blue for him and hisself and everybody around because he ant got nobody to lision to".
Thrawn: "I'em blue bobota daddddadudidubaldidudblydedoubledyedoubledeedoubledye, doubledeedoubledeedoubledye, I am blue doubledeedoubledyedoubledeedoubledyedoubledeedoubledyedoubledeedoubledye".
Darth Vader: "Yo lision this is a story about a little guy that lives in a blueworldd and all night and everything he sees is just blue like him inside and outside blue, blue in house like the blue little window and the blue corvete and everything is blue for him and hisself and everybody around because he ant got nobody to lision to".
Thrawn: "I'em blue,blue,blue, bluuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeee, bbbbbbbbllllllllluuuuuuuueee, doubledeedoubledyedoubledeedoubledyedoubledeedoubledye, I'em blue, blue, doubledeedoubledyedoubledeedoubledye".
Palps’ voice slowly became normal
Man, I was expecting this to be some guy flatly narrating all of this in his best, but not convincing take on each character. What this was instead, was excellent!
The voice actors are awesome 😂
Hearing Vader speak is always a joy for me
Amazing job, Thrawn will be always my favourite character in Star Wars
Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader are the most excellent example of villains for which the only proper kind of armor protective enough is the plot armor.
Thrawn deserved his own series based on the novels.
Thèse two together looked at each other like they knew they could instantly plot a coup against Palpatine
Literally the absolute worst room in the entire Galaxy for a Rebel and/or Jedi to walk into.
Damn, Thrawn and Sidious were on point, then Vader came in at the end and thew off the whole vibe, lol. Really enjoyed this.
I think Palpatine must have thought about Thrawns warning when preparing the fleet in Episode 9 😅
0:08 Congratulations admiral thrawn, you solved the rubix cube!
A great day for the empire!
Wow great voice acting for Thrawn!
Thrawn was pm the only officer vader truly respected and WANTED to work with
This would make a good flashback sequence at the beginning of a Thrawn film.
Nial Declann becomes a Grand Admiral/Darth Vader's Sith Apprentice
Thrawn is not force-sensitive. What if... then he would rule the Galaxy and that ends all the good stories of Star Wars. ..or is it ?
Perfect music transition
Well Met Kingsmen!
Wow dude had Thrawn and Vader both there and didn’t ask them to look at the paint choices he was agonizing over
Thrawn said all that needed to be said. Palps put his eggs into one basket and it failed. After that, the empire was kinda in shambles
That was pretty well done all the way around. Even though the reason we were here really boiled down to Vader and Thrawn basically saying "Hi." "Hi."
Thrawn is such a great character. In retrospect it was a good thing Disney didn't touch him in their trilogy.
Ahsoka……..
@@rox4945they did him pretty well in Ahsoka. They did Thrawn, Ezra and Anakin all the best in my opinion.
@@othervids3726 ahhh ok haven’t finished yet mentally checked out after anakin episode ngl
Now this is how you do an advertisement.
I suggest making the background black or grey instead of white. I believe that would make the viewing experience much more pleasant.
So nice of Palpatine to gift Thrawn his chewing gum.
Boy was Palpatine smoking one giant crack pipe by this time.
What’s cool is that Lars Mikkelsen is returning as Thrawn
Great format.
Thrawn clocked on so quick that was Anakin in the books it’s hilarious
The Voices 😤👌
The greatest strategist in the Multiverse. Grand admiral Thrawn.
For some reason this goes hard
Really good execution on a cool concept. Would recommend hard cuts to the panels appearing. The sliding is pretty distracting.
Thrawn certainly had a point where a solid Imperial Navy would be able to suppress a Rebellion better than a single massive star station. Considering that a single Death Star was a huge resource sink, not to mention the personnel. And of course Palpatine had to build an even bigger one...
It’s a no wonder they lost the following battles after ROTJ, they just didn’t have enough Imperial forces to keep up with the growing Rebellion.
First time watching audio comics. The voices were good.
voice acting is impressive all around
Don't remember much of their relationship in EU, but in Disney version Vader actually has respect for Thrawn, and one of those who support his tie-defender project. Beside Thrawn being a genius he also greatly respect, that he is not working for personal glory. Unlike the overwhelming majority of the Imperial high command who only seek self interest. Even if that interest is in collision of the Imperial interests.
Did the artist trace the Rebels model for Vader?
Two 🐐🐐, exchanging pleasantries you love to see it
I could get hooked to comics like these.
WOW! THAT WAS DOPE!!!
If Filoni version of Thrawn had met Vader, Darth would have snapped his neck at the first meeting for his sheer incompetence! Lol
That was dope.
great job lov this
Thrawn : i am pleased me have finally met
Vader : then you will die
Sidious plan relied on psychological manipulation while thrawns was strategical
And then later they made every star destroyer have a Death Star laser. Man, Rian Johnson is such an A whole.
I still like the theory that Palpatine was building the death star as a countermeasure against whatever is coming from Beyond the Unknown Regions
Powerful. I heard the audio books on audible. But the comics and voices here are better. Grand Admiral Thrawn is one of my favorite villains. I would say he's Stat Trek's version of Kahn but more cold and extremely calculating.
This scene always makes me wonder how many Star Destroyers are sitting in shipyards because they don’t have the materials to repair them due to the death star siphoning so many resources.
Then I think of the magical fleet Palpatine has in one of those sequel movies and I believe I may have an answer. (I never actually watched the movies so Idk if it is answered how he got them)
Super glad you guys are back. Think you'll ever do a KOTOR comic adaptation?
If only thrawn was emperor the rebellion would have been crushed in no time
Well done
